Unknown if OP is currently inside or outside the US. If outside, then it's illegal for OP to have preconceived intent to AOS.

Since they are asking about marrying on the first visit, and whether or not they can do so on an ESTA, then I would assume OP is outside the US, in which case they cannot plan for AOS as like you said it would be visa fraud and illegal

to marry there and go back in Europe?

It is perfectly legal to marry in the US and go back to Europe. What isn't legal would be to come to the US on ESTA, marrying, and not going back to Europe, as another user was suggesting Adjustment of Status. Adjustment of Status would not be legal as you cannot legally enter the US and marry with intent to adjust status. You can absolutely come to the US, marry, and return to Europe though

That will be good for your case then if you were together in real life for a month before already. AOS is "adjustment of status", where you request a change from a non-immigrant status to an immigrant status, while currently being in the US. However, you cannot come in to the US on a non-immigrant status with the intent to change to an immigrant status in the US, unless you are on a visa that specifically allows it.

 

For example: you can come on a K1 visa, get married, and adjust status, as a K1 visas purpose IS to come to the US, get married, and stay.
BUT, you cannot come in on a tourist visa/ESTA with the intent to get married, stay, and adjust status to immigrant status, as coming into the US on a tourist visa/ESTA is supposed to be with the intent that you will return to your country. So, adjusting status (AOS) is illegal to do on an ESTA/tourist visa if you came in to the US with plans to stay

Hey, i do this topic to ask if it's possible to marry in USA during vacation and go back in my country, and apply after for a CR-1. 

 

Thank you very much for all

Yes

This gets asked every week.  Needs to be pinned.

The forum would be almost dead if the same questions weren't asked every week.

Why not just tell us the name of the country? Or are we playing a guessing game?

That post by OP has been edited, but originally it said "France."
