I’ve had a lot of conflicting information from other sites saying that mentioning it could be damaging....especially since the main intent is for him to come to this medical program. I would never want to do something deceptive. 
 

I am confused now about what constitutes visa fraud. We aren’t sure we want to marry this summer yet, as he has not yet met my family. That’s  why we wanted to take the time for introductions and then decide whether or not to have a small wedding at the end of his stay before he goes back. If we are unsure whether this wedding is going to take place, is this something we need to discuss with the visa officer? If we do end up marrying, then I’m concerned it will be seen as the main purpose of the trip. Is it fraud only if he tries to adjust his status? My understanding is that as long as he returns home, no fraud has taken place. Is that the case? I apologize for all the confusion on this post...but I am new to this. We truly want to make sure this is done the right way. Thanks for your help!

Who said anything about adjusting? You’re overthinking this. It’s not illegal to have a lover in the US. It’s not illegal to apply for a visa to visit that person. It’s absolutely illegal to lie on the visa application form or to the officer. It asks if you have immediate relatives in the USA. Doesn’t matter if you are visiting them or not. If someone with a brother in Alaska is applying for a tourist visa to go to Disney world in Florida, he must still declare that he has a brother in the USA even though he won’t see him on the trip. 
 

Will your fiancé be granted a visa? Who knows? It’s up to the officer. If he’s denied because the officer feels that he will stay avd adjust, he won’t be the first or last person this has happened to. The whole reason the K-1 visa, with its myriad drawbacks, is still very much in existence is because of the difficulties many people have in obtaining visitor visas for the USA because of a love interest here. I visited over 40 times before I emigrated but I’m from a VWP country and had no problems coming to visit and even married my husband on a visit. Many others don’t have that luxury. 
 

If you tell the truth every time there’s no need to worry about visa fraud. There’s no fraud in telling the truth.
