Just a word of caution...don't always take what the USCIS says 100%. There are stories of getting told something like that and not having it pan out in the past.

Someone at the USCIS just told him it would be okay to enter on an L1 and get married. I haven't seen the application for it, myself. I think the potential employer mentioned another H class visa, though - an H2, perhaps? For now, I think I will set aside the I-129F paperwork until we can get some clearer information about all this. I wish the USCIS website was more user-friendly, though. ARGH!

There is a reason why the 1-800 number is known in the immigration community as the misinformation line... do not take their word for it... the Supreme Court has ruled that they aren't bound by what they tell you either...

This is what I do know.. and I was an INS immigration inspector for many years...

You are not eligible for any work visa other than a H1B if you have any immigrant intent... The Visa application asks if the applicant (that is the alien) has a fiancee relationship with a USC... you must answer truthfully... if you do answer truthfully, the visa will be denied and all that money the employer will have spent on you is down the drain...

If you answer untruthfully and you subsequently get married and adjust... be prepared to answer for the answer that you gave on the visa application...If you misrepresneted yourself on the visa application, you will be removed from the US and you will have a permanent ban on entering the US...

Don't be short sighted on this... look for the long term and you will be rewarded...
