I will appreciate if anyone could come up with somthing.

I am a Indian citizen married to a US citizen on 01/14/05 in USA while I was on B2 and went back. Made couple of trips to US after that, but never stayed for long as i was studying back in UK and working for very big company.

Now I eneterd US last month on B1 for my company business trip.Now I made up my mind to stay here with my wife as we do not want to be apart for long and I have left my job too, so actually nothing to do back in my home country. Well never wanted this when I entered but I changed my mind and quit my job. I think it was too much time we had spent apart and we can't wait any longer.

Can I adjust my status on B1 without going back to my country and waiting too long for K-3 visa. I am married to her from more than two years.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Technically, Yes. You can adjust status as long as you can prove that you did not have intent to stay when you got married. Which I think by all of the trips you have made can be a compelling argument.

I would still recommend that you consult with a good immigration attorney to confirm any information given on this and any other site.

Not quite. He will have to prove that he didn't have immigrant intent when he last entered the U.S., not when he got married.

Captain, go see a lawyer, and I have a gut feeling that you're gonna be fine and dandy :)
