25 years ago we had the app in for the fiancé visa. It was taking a long time and we’d already been apart for over a year. I consulted a lawyer who told us DO NOT enter on a tourist visa and get married. That’s a big no no. Wait for the fiancé visa or get an H1B.
My wife came here on a tourist visa. The little crik in my throat was diagnosed as cancer, we talked it over, she applied for Adjustment in Status, and we waited for a green card. Under this policy she would at least go into detention for 8-10 days. Then if some joker decided they didn't believe that the cancer made me change my mind because I thought I'd get better medical treatment here, they could ship her back, and I'd follow. I let my wife get and manage the attorney she used by the Filipina network.
Her Tourist Visa lapsed while on Adjustment of Status, the attorney assured us that was OK. There was no green card interview, they mailed her the green card.
Marco thinks this is a game.
