If your girlfriend plans on coming to the US with her tourist visa to marry you and adjust status, that is visa fraud. You cannot do that.

If she visits, marries, then leaves, then you will petition for the Cr1 visa.

Do not commit visa fraud.

good luck

You do not seem to understand the difference between a visa and AoS. A visa is something you need to enter the US, AoS is for when you (or her) is in the US already. If you get married in the US and she stays you dont apply for a visa, if you get married and she leaves then you apply for a spousal visa.

As she is not in the US yet, what you ought to be doing is applying for a K-1 visa which will enable her to enter and then marry you and stay, then you apply for AoS.

As already said, if she enters as a tourist with the intention of marrying and then staying, that is visa fraud.

She is here.
