My wife and I finally have our interview scheduled.

 

I live in San Diego and she lived in Tijuana. We were married back in November and had a child in December. Once she was close to her due date she stopped crossing and hasn't crossed since somewhere around the beginning of december. We filed for AOS from a Tourist Visa to Permanent Resident

 

I am worried about some of the posts talk about visa fraud and how you can be banned for entering and getting married on a tourist visa. 

 

With the frequency that we used to cross the border (and will continue to cross the border once she has a green card) it made no sense for her to get married and then stay here and not leave. I am just concerned on the whole 'you entered knowing you were going to get married' aspect. Her intent when she originally got a tourist visa was never to get married so that she could immigrate here, this is just how we ended up.

 

Obviously we love each other and are not trying to commit fraud or anything of the like. It made the most sense to get married and have the child born in the usa then to wait out the spousal visa and then do an AOS.  We have a marriage certificate, a child together, and a house with both of our names on the deed. 

 

Are we in the clear here? I would appreciate a vote of confidence

 

 

Thanks

That’s what counts. Go ahead, file AOS away. God bless America!

File?  They have a scheduled interview.
