Hello,
My partner and I have been together in the US for four years, not yet married but that is on the table. He is studying using an F1 visa and I believe that an adjustment can be made with an I-130 after we marry. He needed to renew his F1 and returned back to the US at the end of January (I visited his family during this time also); my concern is that we have already known each other a while when he renewed his visa, and therefore a change of status could be considered as going against the intent of the visa.
Is there any risk if we marry and then begin the process?
Thank you!
