Hello!

Thanks for taking time out of your day to respond to my post. Your ignorance is great! I asked a question on which is allowed. Yet I kept being told that bringing him to the states with intent to marry is fraud. Unfortunately, you didn’t read correctly, as I will be marrying him in Australia, and wanted an opinion on which route is the best, simply because I wasn’t sure which is allowed. So maybe you should read the post correctly, right? 

If you already know the answer, why are you coming to a forum to ask the question?

Actually, it seems you misread all the responses. No one told you going to the US with intent to marry is fraud - because it’s not. Many people go to the US just to get married (hello, Vegas). What you were repeatedly told is that anyone - spouse or fiancé or whatever - entering on a tourist visa or ESTA with the intent to immigrate by then staying and adjusting status, is fraud.

Yes, plenty of ignorance here. You do know what that word means, right?

 

Nobody said coming to the US to marry is fraud. You didn't read correctly. The fraud is coming to the US on a tourist visa or ESTA with the intent to file for AOS. Where you marry doesn't matter. Marry in the US if you want. But you cannot enter the US with the intent to stay.

As I said before, tell CBP that you plan to file for AOS and see what happens.
