Hello everyone,

 

Me and my partner filed for K1 Visa in October 2022 and never heard back.

We never received our NOA1 and they never cashed in the payment, even though we have confirmation that they received our I-129F application.

Now I'm planning to visit him in the States in April (using my ESTA) and he wants me to stay, get married and file for AOS.

I've read that it might work but I'm also worried since we have already previously filed for K1. But since we never heard back we might not even be "in the system"?

 

Thank you all for any advice you might have for us!!!

That is visa fraud.  Don't do it.  You cannot enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status.  The Terms Of Service for Visa Journey prohibit discussing illegal activities.

Don’t commit fraud.   The petitioner needs to investigate what happened with the petition and the payment.

 

Your plan could lead to a bar to  entering the United States.

Misrepresentation is a serious matter.

We tried to call several times but we never got to speak to anyone because we don't have a receipt number yet. We also emailed the lockbox, it's been 2 moths and haven't heard back yet :(

do you have any advice for us?

You did not read it on THIS web site. No one here will condone visa fraud.  You are outside the US, you want to enter via VWP, and you have immigrant intent.  Adjustment of Status is not available to you.

Do not come to the US on ESTA and adjust. This is fraud and has serious consequences associated with it.

 

You said, the check got never cashed, so your financial losses are minimal. Just cancel that check with the bank and file a new K-1. Or better, get married in your home country and file I-130 for consular processing. In about 2 years from filing it, you will be able to enter the US and settle.
