We are planning to marry in February in USA  when I enter so I tell passport control I’m getting married or just visiting. They always ask me so many questions . 

I guess I will just have to wait for I-130 to be approved 

 

 

thanks for everyones help

Any reason they ask you many questions, certainly not normal.

 

Tell the truth is the simple answer.

Someone on another site is saying we can go over on ESTA and then apply I-485 and the I-130 after getting married in usa

Preconceived intent to stay in the US and/or file I-485 is 100% illegal. What is legal with ESTA is marriage in the US, you leave the US, and then your new spouse files the I-130.

Do not ever lie to customs and immigration.  It could eventually result in a bar for misrepresentation.  So not worth it!

Apply for a Cr1/IR1. As soon as you get to the US you'll be able to work right away. 

 

If you choose the K-1 it will be quicker to get an interview by 4-5 months compared to the spouse visa however, you get there and there's a big wait for you to be able to start working, and you can't leave the country right away if you wanted a holiday ...
