AOS on tourist visa

[Eddy2019 27]

Good day house,

i have been reading and read AOS on tourist visa is a termed as visa fraud.

 

My confusion here is that my husband called the USCIS to ask if they have any idea or advise on what can be done in a country with travel ban.  He guy advised him to get a tourist visa for his spouse then when file for Adjustment of Status since my husband is a born America citizen, and can get a waiver for that. but people with who came from other countries and become citizen cannot adjust status on tourist visa for their spouse.

 

I just want to know if he was given the right advise.

 

Thank you for your help.

1)  No one can "get" a tourist visa for someone else---or have any say in the process itself/sponsor someone for a tourist visa.  Each person applies and is approved/denied based on their own merits.

 

2)  One cannot enter the US on a tourist visa with the intention of adjusting status.  This is clear immigration fraud.

 

3)  There's a reason why many of us here call them the "MISinformation line"....they led you wrong, my friend.

I concur with @Going through.  He received very bad advice.

A tourist visa for a spouse in Nigeria is almost certainly not going to be approved. Don’t think you’re the first one that thought they could bypass the ban by applying for a tourist visa.

and I predict we will see an increase in current B2 holders being denied into the US at the border due to greater suspicion and scrutiny.

*****  It is illegal to use a tourist visa with the intent to immigrate/ stay in the USA.  Visajourney does not advice, help, condone etc illegal immigration action- which can also lead to a lifetime ban from the USA for the   persons involved- so this thread is now locked. ******
