A student or someone here on a work visa who gets married and adjusts status gets enthusiastic support.  They’re already here under one status, their circumstances change, they adjust status, and that is what the process is for.

In your previous post you expressed a desire for your significant other to enter on a non-immigrant visa with immigrant intent.  You spelled it out.  The act of filling out that application for one reason (tourist) but intending to use it for another reason (immigration) is illegal and we can not and will not advise you to do that.  We did not write that law and we did not set those rules.  

I thought he said it was a surprise proposal and that his spouse was not aware of his plan?

A USC who “plans” (excellent observation on your part) to skirt immigration laws will have willfully and with premeditated intent violated those laws.  Planning it here is not welcome.

Very true. It goes beyond the girlfriend gaining admission at POE.
