Getting Married on B2 Visa

[melon grapefruit 1]

Hello,

I am a Canadian who met my fiancé while on a B2 visa. I didn't know him prior to entering the US so applying for a K-1 visa would not have been possible. We would like to get married next week however, I would like to ensure that I am not overstaying my allowed time in the US (my B2 visa expires in 3 weeks). After we are wed, am I allowed to stay in the US while I apply for AOS? When should I apply for AOS?

Your assistance and advice is appreciated. Thank you kindly!

2. As soon as financially possible

Also note you will require your long form Canadian birth certificate

B2 suggests other issues.

Thank you all for your replies and experience with my inquiry.

Boiler - what other issues would B2 suggest? May I ask that you further expand? Thank you!

Canadians don't need a visa to visit the US. The fact that OP went through the hassle of obtaining a B2 suggests something else might be at play here.

KierenHby - Yes, Canadians do not require a visa to enter the US and I never said I "went through the hassle" of applying for one. After I entered as a tourist, my passport was stamped with B2, which all Canadians get upon entering the US as a tourist.

Nothing else is at play here. I'm simply asking using this forum as a way to obtain advice from others who share a similar experience.

This what I was commenting on plus it is unusual for Canadians to have B2 Status.

I thought Canadians got a B2 stamp in their passports when they travel by air? I once entered the US at Vancouver pre-clearance and he stamped my passport with B2 and gave me six months. As he closed my passport he realised his mistake as I have a UK passport, crossed out the B2 stamp and re-stamped it with WT for 90 days. He muttered something about having assumed I was Canadian.
