Give her an annoying hug from me and don't squeeze her so hard that Ken will have to put the stuffing back in.

Wow... bringing up posts from 2001.... and here I could have sworn that it was now 2006, and this is a group of adults.
Mr Udall, I'm sure you are an excellent attorney, and I'm positive that many people have gained a lot from you. However (and this is said with the utmost respect), if you have so many ongoing (for years, clearly) problems with this forum, and with the people on it - why do you continue to frequent it? Just to harp on the same point over and over again? Yes, it is a valid point. But, it seems to be verging on obsession in almost every post you make.
As I mentioned, I mean you no disrespect, I'm just curious...

I simply asked whether it was possible to re-enter the US (for arguments sake let's say without intent) and then AOS. The early posters on this thread assumed that it was possible, I didn't think it was. Just wondered who was right.

Yes and there is another BE poster who had done the same. They use to go by the nick the Pies but changed that. She was from the South and he was a Brit. They married here, he left, she filed the I-130, she and her son when to the UK to visit with him, she got sick, after leaving the UK hospital, he returned with them and stayed to succesfully adjust status.
Now that information is readily available in the archives so I am not promoting this avenue to anyone. It is definitely froth with pitfalls and this couple knew it and were willing to take the chance.

While I've seen the occasional post in the past from a couple already married, entering the US and asking about AOS, I don't keep links. Did you do any searching, or just wondering if anyone remembers a similar case?
I don't see what the difference would be if the couple is married or unmarried at entry. To me it sounds like the same end game: entry with a non-immigrant option with intent to immigrate at that entry. I've never heard of a distinction between married/unmarried or that unmarrieds-at-the-time-of-entry get some kind of special blessing from USCIS for being newlyweds.
