Still considered work.   For instance. If a person needs medical attention here and a relative (even their own child) who is not a citizen of the US comes on a tourist visa and gives them me

And I'm telling you that people get denied (even parents) for such things as coming to help with a child(ren). It happens.   We also know that some officers let parents in knowing full well

Wow this blew up...

Let me clarify I'm trying to avoid doing anything that could be considered fraud. As much as I would love to have her stay I think it may be best just to bring her over on the B visa and have her as long as we can and have her go back. Then file to have her get her green card. 

 

I wasnt sure if bringing her on a tourist tourist and then trying to do an AOS would be legal, however I see it kinda falls into a grey area in a way so I'll play it safe and just have her go back.

 And when you apply from abroad it's not applying for a green card it is applying for an IR-5 visa, which has a green card on arrival. Just so you look in the right place when it's time.

 

If when she's visiting, you have a change in circumstances, that would be fine to apply for a green card from within the country. But you simply can't make that the plan/intention. Yes it's a gray area but it is a distinctly different thing. 

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!
