Re: Marriage on a Student Visa
When you were 40, she was 10... and you were 4x older than her.
When you were 45, she was 15... and you were 3x older than her.
Now you're 60, and she's 30... and you're 2x older than her.
If you wait long enough... you'll both be the same age!

Re: Marriage on a Student Visa
But your scenario is that you are already planning to marry. If she comes here on the student visa and her intent is just to use it as a way of getting into the USA so you can marry, that's mis-use of the visa.
You might want to have a 1-time consultation with an immigration attorney before she heads home, so you can make a more informed decision as to what the laws are and how it might affect her AOS in your scenario. That's exactly what I would do if I were in your shoes.

It's one thing when a student comes here and happens to meet someone, then they decide to marry and AOS while she's still here. You *can* AOS from a student visa.
But your scenario is that you are already planning to marry. If she comes here on the student visa and her intent is just to use it as a way of getting into the USA so you can marry, that's mis-use of the visa.

Re: Marriage on a Student Visa
Why didn't she decide to overstay her B visa, and marry you in June when your divorce is final, as you had originally planned? That would be the simplest way to accomplish her AOS. Her overstay will be forgiven by USCIS because of her marriage to a USC.
