I think they should just go ahead and ban AOS from a tourist Visa all together. There is a way to do things and that way circumvents the proper procedures on how to things.

Luckily, this cannot happen just because of you or a few others "think" so. Laws are designed and prepared to be universally applicable to all kinds of circumstances. Some of you, mentioned here that 99% of AOSers are fraudsters. Where did you get this information from? 
The only argument you have is "well, we did the hard and "right way and you are skipping the line!" There ARE people who just come here for totally different purposes and then fall in love and get married. Should we send them back and make them go through CP just because you are jealous???

So what I am reading is that you came here as a B2 tourist vida and then "suddenly" got married and did AOS. So you feel that everyone should be able to do what you did which is in essence skip the line. I am not jealous by any means but I do feel that people should respect the rule of law, because there is a way for people to get married and file for AOS doesn't mean that they should do that. That is why my original comment said that "I think that they should do away with AOS from a tourist visa.

 

I never said anything about 99% people doing AOS are fraudsters so where did you get your information from? You might need to comment ok then and not me. 

 

Yes, I believe that if people come here on a tourist visa, get married. They should then go home and file for the CR1 visa. But until that time that the law is changed I will continue to help people.

Doing AOS is respecting the rule of law. It's 100% legal.

I never said it wasn't now did I? I have said repeatedly on here that part of the law that allows that needs to be changed.

No, it doesn't. The part of the law that needs to be changed is the "intent" part when it comes to AOS, not illegal overstay. Planning to AOS harms no one.

Well that is certainly your opinion and you are allowed to it. But I have my own opinion that I am entitled to as well. 

 

Yes, it harms the people behind them that have to try and get a tourist visa after a bunch of people overstay them adjust. Just look at the Philippines and how it is to get a tourist vida there. One of the main reasons is because of how many people overstayed.

Overstayers rarely AOS. Most of them just become illegal immigrants. That's what the country should be trying to prevent. And people from poor countries will always try to improve their situation, they will stop it only after their economy becomes better. You can't blame individuals, blame the system and their societies.

C'mon now. That is not true. Planning to use a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose to immigrate is not a harmless act.

 

There are already groups of people who know, by word of mouth, that they just have to pretend to not want to immigrate when applying for a B2. But then where does the line get drawn? If they can get away with that, what other "white lies" or "lies of omision" can be used?

 

All in all it seems immigration is aware of issues with AOS on nonimmigrant visas hence the update to the FAM about the 90 day "rule".

The FAM has zero impact on AOS. The update you are talking about is not due to people AOSing but another way to reduce LEGAL immigration. This administration is doing everything they can to reduce immigration both legal and illegal by policy since they failed to change the laws.

How is the update going to reduce LEGAL immigration at all? Just because you feel that the admin is trying to reduce Legal immigration is simply not true because the statistics do not back up your assumptions.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. What you and some others here are saying is like trying to make right turn on red light illegal just because you are waiting to make the left turn. 
You can believe in anything you want, but it is not nice to judge people and make skeptical-snarky comments about how and why people's plans change to decide to adjust their status. The adjustment of status is legal, the end of story.

Just like I said this is my opinion and I do think it should become law because it disenfranchises other immigrants. Also your little analogy is a fail to the highest degree because this is by no means anything I said at all, this is immigration not driving. I am entitled to my opinion and my snarky comments if they are within the scope of the TOS.

 

I have helped many many people on here adjust status from marriage while on a tourist visa. Just because I do not believe in something doesn't mean that I won't help people that are actually trying to become legal. I just think that they should go about it a better way overall.

Agreed.  I help people AOS and suggest it to those already within the USA, regardless of whether I believe they really "changed" their mind or had "intent."  All I can do is inform people of the law.
