It is a crap shoot in my opinion.

At this point, only (well, mainly) because it annoys the hell out of me if I can't find an answer to something I want to know. (Yes, I drive myself crazy sometimes
). Believe me, I have searched the archives, I've searched everywhere, I haven't found.
That is.... I think the answer may be hiding somewhere within the text on this link - http://tinyurl.com/29asz but good heavens, I can't get through that! I'm going to try though.
Tweeks... it's a tricky question even on a Friday I think...

Tweeky, I can see the link, but have you tried reading what's there? After a few paragraphs I can't make heads nor tails of it anymore. Doesn't help that it's past my bedtime anyway.

It does once again confirm my THOUGHTS, but still no facts... I'm still going to wrestle with the stuff on that link I posted. Yes, I have a life. Yes, I know you don't believe me. Nope, I don't care.

Rete, I agree. There seem no facts to be found either way, and there is evidence of these cases going both ways... I for one wouldn't risk it.

Also I haven't found anything on entering already married under the VWP, and then doing AOS.
What's the illegal thing - the intent of getting married on the VWP? Nope, people say that's okay as long as you don't stay.
So the intent of getting married and staying on the VWP is illegal? It keeps getting repeated that this is illegal.
But is the intent of only STAYING on the VWP illegal also? It would be. You've waived you're right to change your mind and stay, that is - you've waived your right to adjustment of status. But then it says: if you're an immediate relative of a USC, you ARE allowed to AOS.
I can read between the lines. I would have quit this topic already if I wasn't looking for things in clear writing. It's like a puzzle. Some people do crosswords, I do this.

Re: Interesting question, would like opinions/facts
As with immigrations...there are no cold hard facts. What you are really asking for is a probable outcome. I feel your frustration. I wanted that comfort also as I felt I was looking at a waiver case.

That's the way it was for me. So I really don't feel bad about people who "get away with it". You did it the accepted way. I personally think you should give yourself a pat on the back.
Besides there is no law against marrying "spur of the moment" and adjusting. Just my own personal thoughts
