Has anyone ever done this?

Hi All,

 

Has anyone ever had their spouse come over on a tourist visa instead of the spouse visa because the process time was shorter? Did it or will that work?  My husband asked if this was an option; him coming over as a tourist then changing his status after we marry here, although we are already married in Egypt.  

 

I have not submitted our CR1 Visa package yet. 

 

thanks,

No you can't.  That is visa fraud!

Entering on a visa intended for tourists with the intention of immigration is called fraud. File the CR1. The process is 12-14 months. There is no other legal option.

And you are telling people how to commit visa fraud.  I am reporting this post.

So, if you would like easy and clear case, do CR1 for sure.

Is it not a community to discuss all related things about immigration? Whats wrong?
I dont like this but just see...I cant be with my fiancee for already 7 month...some people who do visa fraud can start living together without this gap.

Not fair  And I am sad about this...

And some people who do visa fraud get hit with a revocation of status later on and deported.

1. Thanks for the information. 

2. Now that I am aware, of course we will NOT commit visa fraud.

3. CALM DOWN, it was only a question.

I agree with the other posters. I would not recommend this. There are very few government agencies that I am concerned about, and will lie to almost all of them, except the IRS, and the Immigration agencies. Those are the 2 I give a wide birth to because of the living hell they can bring down on you.
