Adjustment of Status Through Marriage or Green Card Application:
Entering the U.S. on a tourist visa and subsequently marrying a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident may open the door to adjusting status and obtaining a green card.
Key requirements include legal eligibility for marriage, a genuine intent to establish a life in the U.S., and meeting all other criteria for adjusting status.
Complications of Misrepresentation at the Border:
Misrepresentation can arise if an individual enters the U.S. on a tourist visa with the intention to marry and adjust status without disclosing their true intentions at the border.
This could lead to severe consequences, including denial of the green card application, potential deportation, and even being barred from re-entering the U.S. in the future.
Importance of Marrying After 90 Days:
Marrying after 90 days of entry on a tourist visa is crucial to avoid raising suspicions of visa fraud or misrepresentation.
USCIS closely scrutinizes marriages occurring shortly after entry, especially if there’s evidence indicating preconceived intent to marry and adjust status.
