At the POE, they asked what's the purpose of my visit? and my response was that I am visiting my boyfriend, they also asked for how long I am gonna stay, and I said "for a month". (I had taken a vacation from work for 1 month). Now, in case we do AoS, would my responses at the POE be considered a lie, or give them an assumption of a fraud or lie??? I mean back then when I was visiting and was asked those questions at the airport, I was planning to just visit him and come back right after my vacation.

I don't rent an apartment, I am an owner of an apartment in my country. The only thing that I need to abandon in my country would be my job.

@PGA, why is CR1 a better choice?

Thanks for your help!!

No I didn't mean that I was working here while I am here. I took a vacation from my work in my country and am here on a vacation only. What I meant was that it won't be a problem for me to let my work know from here that I want to quit after my vacation is over.

@Crazy Cat I am actually able to leave my work from here (while I am here), that won't be a problem. But I am more worried regarding the risks... In terms of risks, is AoS more risky to do than the spousal visa? Can AoS be denied? If yes, what can cause it a denial, and what would be the consequences?

Hi guys, I need an advice. I am visiting my boyfriend in the US who is a US citizen. I am on my B1/B2 visa, and I am on a vacation from my work. I was planning to go back to my country after 2 weeks, but this time we decided to marry. We have read about the AoS based on marriage, but we also know there is a CR1/IR1 visa option for married couples. So we don't know which one to do - I stay here and we do AoS? Or we get married here, and I go back to my country and we start the IR1 visa process? Which option would be better?? Thanks for your help!
