He has not overstayed yet, as far as we know. So, you just advised them that it is okay to break the law. Fantastic. 

If they plan to marry, they can do it and it's his own decision or decision of both if they decide to apply for AOS him staying and overstaying his tourist visa. I am just informing the Immigration FORGIVES this kind of overstay because the marriage to USC. It would be silly to marry and to go back waiting for 1 year decision when he is already here and they can start the life together.

and please, stop attacking me as a person, I know the law very well and this is NOT against the law, immigration forgives the USC spouse overstay and work without permission, it's a fact, real fact.

If he has so much money why doesn't he just extend his visa or file a change of non immigrant status?? Why risk overstaying. Why advocate something that is illegal either way when OP told us he is loaded. He has the money to do a visa run to Canada or Mexico or extend another way....right?

Overstaying a visa is certainly against the law. He has not overstayed as of yet, and you just advised them to do so. This is one reason it is so hard for Nigerians to be given a tourist visa in the first place, because of those who come here and do just what you are suggesting. 

Let us suppose she follows your advice and it doesn't work out. Now he loses his tourist visa, is sent home, and banned from entry. I think you should leave the legal advise to the attorneys.

Stay on semi on topic before the thread gets locked up againnnnnn~~

Okay, the bottom line is this - Overstaying a visa when you come from what the Department of State considers a "high fraud" country, is not a good idea. It just adds to an already long list of red flags.

It also puts a person at risk of being put into removal. Nowadays, people who aren't criminals at all end up with notices to appear in removal court for overstaying a mere few months. We now have the visa entry exit tracking system.

Thanks Sparkles. I begged in about three different posts for nobody to provide their personal opinions on the relationship anymore, it is unsolicited. I've had enough and frankly it's only irritating now. 

 

On the overstay I'll just marry him and file for adjustment before his visa runs out. I was thinking to marry and he could overstay for a few months so we had more time before paperwork started. 

 

IF YOU CANNOT COMMENT WITH STRICTLY IMMIGRATION TERMS PLEASE SKIP. I've had enough!

True. I forgot he can extend his tourist visa stay for another 6 months and twice, it will be better going to his AOS with his tourist visa valid. Good advice.

And if you go ahead with it, air tight prenup and retain a lawyer for this adventure.

Absolutely not a DIY case, might need an Accountant input as well.

I want you to read my signature. And see that this mess we earned that I document in my signature is the result of waiting a few months of overstay to file, thinking we had time. It's been a 2.5yr journey to fix. Overstay and wait is never ever a good idea. My spouse actually did end up in removal.....not fun at all. And expensive to fix.

Wow, thank you. Might as well just get it done asap. At least he'll be in legal status the whole time. Thank you ❤️

Basic prenup stating that if the marriage ends, either partner gets only what they brought into the marriage. If a home is purchased and marriage ends, who gets it. So on and so on. Research community property laws in your state. Not all states are community property but if you are in one, your spouse can ruin your credit easily as well as things you both purchase after marriage has laws on division during divorce.
