A complaint to their State Bar for advising you to commit a federal crime may well be in order.

when she shows up with a car full of clothes, tvs ect lol they get turned around pretty quickly...

 

of course, there are lots of people that pack a suitcase and say they are 'visiting' there bf.. however, the border will go through your phone and computer if they think intent.  speaking of which, border security USA just got on netflix - i suggest people watching that lol

Unless ofc she is in the US right now. In which case the intent upon her entry was not to get married (if you guys do). In this case she can stay and adjust status...

 

I had never heard of this either before VJ and it seems like a thin line. I mean I guess even if intent was not there, how do you prove that it wasn't? 

She is here now and I just asked her to marry me. So obviously it would be super suspicious haha

Well if she is there now you are able to marry and have her stay and adjust status. Of course she cannot leave the country until she either gets her GC or an AP document which may take a while :)

I just spoke with a lawyer and he said the processing times have shortened significantly since trump was elected haha. More people want to leave then come into the country. Also it's just not doable to have her stay and get married right now. She has a job and responsibilities, a lot of loose ends that need to tied up before she moves

I still don't understand how we could get away with it when pictures of our engagement are clearly plastered all over Facebook. Yea i know it's technically not our intent to get married right now but immigration isn't stupid. Wouldn't they know that we are intending to get married and we are intending to cheat the system and find the fastest route possible?

Yea it's not that easy to just up and leave :)

Don't think the processing times are cause ppl want to leave.. K1 varies over the year and depending on if cases are being divided on several centers  (transferred) or not. If you look at the timelines for K1 visas you'll see how they have varied with time... I'd say they are more normal just now than they were over the summer...which was more of an exception. There was however a big backlog on naturalizations and many ppl wanting to become naturalized before Trump being inaugurated which has cause USCIS to have to put more resources on this backlog and therefore caused delays on other ends...

Like I was told, this is decided at the border. By allowing her to enter they have already made the decision that they don't think this was the intent and once such a couple marries and files for AOS as spouses this doesn't matter anymore. You can marry a USC and AOS from any visa.
