Getting married in b1-b2 visa?

[CHEksy 0]

My fiancé already has a b1 b2 visa. He comes to the states a lot for work and pleasure. My question is, can he come here on that and then we get married and file for a adjustment of status? I had had people tell me different things, some say yes that works and others say no he would have to get a fiancé visa. Any advice would be amazing!!!! Thanks

It is fraud to intend to use a B2 visa to come and adjust status. He can come and get married to you then apply for the spousal visa.

 

Or you can apply for a fiancé visa where he can come over, get married, and stay.

 

The B2 visa is not intended to immigrate. It is for visiting.

It's immigration fraud to enter the US with a non-immigrant visitor visa with the intent to immigrate.  Fairly easy to understand.

You cannot use a nonimmigrant entry with a preconceived plan to circumvent the immigration process

Absolutely not.......He can not enter the US via a B1/B2 witht the intent to adjust....Visa fraud!

@CHEksy,

 

I know it may be confusing but think of it this way, if they allowed people to plan to use non immigrant visas like the B2 to immigrate to the USA, why would they even have other visas like the K1 fiancé visa? They would simply give everyone a B2 to everybody and tell them to adjust their status when they are ready.

 

There is a reason for visa types because each visa is specific to the criteria. If you want your BF to come to the US to marry you and stay, there is a specific visa for that.

A requirement of both obtaining and using a B-1/B-2 visa is non-immigrant intent. One must demonstrate their intent to return home on time.

So no, you cannot come to the US to marry & stay. You can marry fine, but you must leave on time.
