I'm not sure if this would be the correct forum to ask this ,so please move if need be .

I'm asking this question for a friend as I have a feeling she may have been given poor advice and I'd hate that to mess up her process.

I have a friend from England who is with a guy in the military,they met when he was stationed in England ,anyway he is now back stateside ,she came over to visit him on a esta and they planned on sending the paperwork off for the k1 visa before she went back home,to cut a long story short that didn't end up happening and they got married two weeks ago(with only 13 days left of her 90 day period of being here )

After getting married they went on base to speak to someone who deals with immigration,he told them of all the documents etc they need to apply for her green card,but he also advised her to stay Here whilst it's being processed as she may denied entry if she was to try and come back as she's overstayed the 90 days .

I was under the impression she would have to go back home and wait to have her greencard Interview in England but this guy has lead them to believe it Can all be dealt with stateside.is this correct information?

Obvious way to go!

I guess I've learnt something new !I should of saved the stress of the k1 visa and done the same thing lol

Ah, but that there is the difference! As you described their situation, they had not intended to use the Visa Waiver as a way to immigrate. Its not as clean as using the proper visa (in their case it would have been a K1) but that is why they are being told to avoid travel until it gets resolved.

They will be fine as long as they adjust ad wait until they have their Advance Parole before returning home.
