The appropriate route for BRINGING A FIANCE INTO THE USA FOR MARRIAGE is K-1 or CR-1.

Let me rephrase. If he was here on business (work) and I so happen to ask him to marry me and have him stay with me is this possible? A lawyer said yes so I am not sure why you are all saying no. 

The lawyer is pretending the situation is something else than it really is. Have other people done it? Yes. Is it strictly legal? No. Do you want to play loose with the rules under the current administration?

He can enter, marry you, go back home & wait for his spouse visa.

You are already planning it. Which means it is illegal.

 

When he turns up at the POE and is asked for purpose of visit, make sure he tells the truth, to get married and stay in the USA. He will quickly find out if your lawyer was right or wrong.

Yes i am planning on marrying him someday how hard is this to understand? Have you ever looked at someone and said i want to marry this person someday. He does not know that i will be proposing to him when he visits.

Why can't he enter the country, marry you, then return to his country while the appropriate visa is being processed???  It is legal for him to make short visits during the process.

Can you answer this question:  Why can't he enter the country, marry you, then return to his country while the appropriate visa is being processed??

There are personal reasons as to why he can not. Do not be so ignorant to other peoples situations.

It appears that you are ignorant of immigration law.  It is absolutely impossible for him to enter the country, marry you, return to his country asap, then return to the US to live with you.

His job....that you want him to leave at the drop of a hat anyway?!

 

actually, what do you expect him to do in the US under what will be a best case scenario for you, if he does just “suddenly decide” to stay, of months without his being able to work or travel? Will he be ok with that? Isolated from everything he knows and totally dependent on you? And then what if uscis gets picky about the visa fraud bit?

 

If you really can’t be apart, and want to do it legally, marry him, and go live with him while you wait for his spouse visa to be processed.

The fact that you plan to propose and expect him to stay and adjust is fraud. Stop trying to skip lines and do it the legal way.

The law is the law; no one's trying to be ignorant on your situation but you are trying to evade the law.
