Ok, I understand. It is the nuance of intent. I thought you guys were somehow saying there is absolutely no way to adjust when you are a student. Like maybe if he wants to marry this girl soonish, he needs to quit school, go back to the UK and get a fiancé visa or spouse visa before he comes back. But are you saying--don't ever leave the US now because you thought about wanting to spend the rest of your life with an American girl? What if his thoughts were I gotta get back and finish American school so my wife and I can then live in the UK forever? How do you legislate thought?

Oh ok I see where you are coming from now - It's the getting married in the UK part and flying back (now married) part which would be lying as I would be re-entering on an F1.

So in short, it needs to happen in the US. Out of curiosity, what would happen if we got married on paper over here and the application was in process whilst we travelled to the UK and married - How would I re-enter the country?

When you apply for AOS you also apply for EAD/AP which takes about 90 days and you can leave and come back freely.

**** As OP received the correct advice, and this thread is veering dangerously close to advocating visa fraud (using a student visa to enter the USA with intent to AOS) it is not closed. OP is free to start another thread on specifics of AOS *******

Op- there are plenty of people who get married legally quickly in a court house for immigration purposes, and have a big reception later either in the USA or abroad, that part is absolutely fine.
