Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

Read the last two posts very carefully. Ian and SD make some good points. Before you look for immigration advice, take some life advice. 8 - 10 months is absolutely nothing when you are 20/21 years of age and looking to spend the rest of your life with someone.
I truly believe you guys are in love and wish you well, but chose your path wisely.

Last post was actually from me. I was using my wife's computer and forgot she was logged in.

Did you inform admin of multiple accounts? I ask because I can't find any record.

:unsure: Skype create a huge electricity bill :rolleyes: As others have pointed out!!! Try not to lie to your self, because stated reason may not be the deep seated reason.

Shacking up is one thing; Getting home the bacon and making home is yet another. You will not be able to work till your papers are in order.

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

Err no, and I assume you are having some kind of piss take at my expense, yeah?
Despite being married, my wife and I remain two people with the ability to express our own individual opinions and thoughts. Have I not seen other couples post seperately under different usernames on here or have I fell into your poor attempt at a fishing trip?

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

Best advice so far.

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

No my comment was serious..site rules stipulate that you inform admin if there is a legitimate reason for creating a second or more username.

No problem...I have requested our records to be amended to show both names. :)

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

Per my understanding (reading about VWP) one cannot adjust status while being in the US by VWP. Am I right?
What about holding an already existed B1/B2 visa and while staying in the US to adjust status? That exactly what happened to me. I got engaged my last visiting and stayed (not overstayed! since I had 6 months to stay...and quit my job for him who left me but it is another story...sorry) and did AOS. Per my understanding defoe cannot do that under VWP? However, he could get married in the US under VWP and then go home and start the process from home and wait, right? Or go home, get fiance visa since he cannot come back with a normal visa or VWR after knowing that the purpose of the US visit would be marriage (ie. AOS) and not simple visit. Sorry if I ask or say dumb things...

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

Ok, JG, at the risk of hi-jacking the thread, thanks for that.
I had even forgotten that my wife joined the forum last year in order to ask some questions before we set off on our immigration journey.
I signed up in the UK after getting my Visa in order to share my experiences and hopefully pick up some useful advice as I settle into life in a foreign land.
I apologise for not studying site rules sufficiently but we actually weren't in the same household when the said accounts were created.
Thanks again
Matt.

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

If you were to go back and apply for a visa you guys can still visit each other while it's processing having the distance can be good for your relationship it can make it stronger, you learn a lot about each other, and it will make you both appreciate each other more when you are together. Marriage lasts for a lifetime after all what's a few months?

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

Thank you. No problem...it's sorted now. ;)

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

A good premise to live by - "if you can't spell it -you're not ready to go there!" :blink:

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

All I can say (repeating others who have way more knowledge of immigration than me) is that defoe, consult an attorney! That is what I did too.

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

That is incorrect. It is legal to apply for AOS if one gets married in the US on the VWP.. However, it comes with certain risks that a couple should be aware of. Do a search on this forum for "10foot pole" (as in "I wouldn't touch that with a 10ft pole").

Re: Marridge on a vwp
 

Thanks for correcting me sunflwgrl13. I hardly have any knowledge and zero experience in VWP. I was just curious about the difference between applying for AOS on the VWP and on an existing visa, like B1/B2. Nothing then? I should be better reading the link you sent. Thanks again.
