"Sometimes, in order to avoid a lengthy separation, the spouses return to the U.S. after the marriage and proceed to file the necessary applications once they are both in the U.S. Usually, BCIS takes a dim view of this practice. It is not uncommon for the BCIS to stop the foreign-born spouse at the border and exclude him or her from the U.S. as an intending immigrant. However, if the foreign-born spouse is able to enter the U.S., BCIS will not deny his or her application for a green card solely because he or she entered the U.S. on a temporary visa when their real intent was to remain permanently in the U.S."
I know that I was. Never seen it so clearly down in black and white

Heck yes I was surprised to read it there like that. Actually I'm in shock, lol. I do find the word 'solely' in there very interesting. This can be interpreted in a lot of different ways.

It's been a great discussion, Elaine. Shall look forward to hearing from you on the completion of your research.
Best regards,
