Okay, you didn't really answer my question. Did they ask you about a gf in the US?

Basically, you can marry and adjust, EXCEPT, if you lied about having a gf in the US. Then you will be charged with material misrepresentation and banned from the US.

So, did they ask you about a girlfriend?

No. The consular officer didn't ask me if i had a girlfriend. He only asked me if i had any family in the us. Of course i said No. I guess he didn't ask me about my gf cause it was all focused on my course of study.

PS: Yes. we are dating face to face at the moment = ) We met in person the first week since i've arrived.

Tell the officer at the POE your plan. They will advise you accordingly.

Hey guys... I don't know why everyone harps on questions like this. Do you all expect that random foreigners (no offense OP) or even US Citizens know how US immigration works? Because they don't. Peo

Okay, so as much as some on this forum will hate it, you did not commit any misrepresentation and it was the visa officer's fault for not questioning you better. And that means you can stay and adjust based on a legal entry and marriage to a USC. Good luck to you.

Though everyone here is loathe to admit it, he beat the system. He was inspected and allowed to enter. Unless USCIS can prove some material misrep on his visa application, or that he lied at the border in a way that would have led to a refusal if had told the truth, the law says he can apply for the green card once married to a citizen without having to first go home and apply for a K or CR visa.

Correct. With out lying to immigrations(which appears OP did not), the ability to adjust is legal through marriage to the USC.

Best of luck to the OP and carry on.

Everyone here loathes waiting, if there is any way that we can help someone reduce the wait time, we would be happy to do it.

Just consider reading the following first. http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/denial-citizenship-lies-false-statements-naturalization-applications.html

I distinctly remember a case where at the time of naturalization, they found some stuff from K-1 phase where he did not disclose that they knew each other before coming to US, the person was sent home with 10 year ban [even though he/she had kids]. Just something to consider. It is all upto you at last.
