Marriage and Visa Waiver Tourist

[guitarboy53 0]

Hello, I have a friend that may marry a gal that is currently visiting the U.S. without a Visa. She is from a country that participates in the Visa Waiver program. She did come to the U.S. with the intention of seeing more of America. They met, and it was love at first sight My question is, what would be the process if they decided to marry while she is in the U.S.? Can they marry and have her stay in the U.S.? What forms are required to get the ball rolling?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

You could start by reading the guide http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide2

I would also recommend your friend has a chat with a immigration lawyer to go over their case and make sure there are no issues that could cause them problems when doing AOS...

But the Answer is Yes they can get married and file for AOS and I-130, and she can remain here while it is being processed.... infact she should not leave the US until she has her greencard in hand...

Did she come here without any Visa or did she come here on a Tourist Visa?

She came here without a visa, on the Visa Waiver Program. OP says that in their first post.

And I agree with Kez
