Question about 30/60 intent rule

[YouAndMeForever 1,022]

If adjusting from visitors visa was a fraud then will not be permitted. But everything which is permitted by law it's not a fraud.

K1 is when you want to come here and marry

But if you are already here... why not marry and adjust status???

TOTALLY LEGAL as long as it's a BONA FIDE MARRIAGE which you have to prove!

Omg how many haters here.

Why do you call people who do it the RIGHT way and speak up against ABUSING that immigration law loophole haters?

Oh wait, you are adjusting from a tourist visa too.

K1 maybe the majority here, but overall represent a small percentage of those adjusting.

They are already married and she's been going back and forth, the last time for good. Nothing you said describeds their situation.

The AOS "loophole" isn't a loophole, it's from law written to accomplish exactly what AOS does. It's a relief provided because someone decided that it's an unnecessary burden to request someone that's already in the country and is going to eventually immigrate to go back to their original country to get a new visa.

There are questions on the wisdom of AOS and AOS for B1/B2. Some think that the this is a national security vulnerability because it allows people to come in without Department of State inspection. Some think that allowing B1/B2 visas to use AOS provides bad incentives for overstays. Seems that VJers concern is that "OMG STOP THIS IT'S CUTTING IN LINE".

If there is a security issue, too late they are here.

True

those that get married ona B1 are overstaying their original visa. The #1 reason B1/B2 visas are denied is because the applicant is presumed to have immigrant intent. Edited March 26, 2015 by ascertainLovE

I doubt many adjust from a B1.

Those that do may have overstayed, not an issue when adjusting through marriage to a USC.

People being allowed to adjust from tourist visa IS a loophole.

When someone on a tourist visa enters the US, he will obviously say at POE that he has no intent to immigrate because if he said otherwise, he wouldn't even be let into the country. All the tourist visa adjusters claim to "have changed their mind" while being in the US.

But who exactly checks what their REAL intent was? Based on the AOS interview experiences I have read on this site, the only thing that can happen to them is the immigration officer asking "what was your intent when you entered the country" and they just have to say "no intent to say" and bamm they get their green card.

I came to visit my then-fiance/now-husband on ESTA but it never even crossed my mind that I should stay. Boy, we love each other madly and it was so hard to say our "see you laters" at the airport. But we knew that the K1 visa is the right thing to do. And by the way I don't get how can one simply "change his mind" and stay? Don't they have a job, school, family, pets, etc in their home country?!

How exactly does this affect your personal life? If you feel so strongly about it, go into politics and get the system changed. Whining about it on an online forum does no one any good.

Do you feel better about yourself now? Of course all I can do is whining on an online forum. You got what you wanted, you got your green card, be more humble.

You presume to know even the first thing about me, ma'am. I suggest you take your own advice and be more humble yourself.

you experienced ZERO hardship in the process. Really, immigration was a piece of cake for you. You just hopped on a plane "changed your mind" and lived happily ever after. Who are you to tell how people to feel when they are separated from their loved ones for close to or more than a year in some cases? The VWP and visitor's visas are not intended for marrying. Just because something is permitted/excused doesn't make it right either. I can go on and on about standards of behavior throughout history that were legal yet wrong in a moral sense.

Lol. Zero hardship, really? More proof that you have no idea what people go through, all you see is "omg AoS from VWP!" and presume that everything is premeditated.

Mature. Why do you insist on making yourself look like an utter fool? Are you an adult or a spoiled little girl? Edited March 26, 2015 by blueniv
