Marrying my U.S boyfriend

Re: Marrying my U.S boyfriend
I have just spent a (very short) week with my girlfriend in the UK whom I met last year whilst travelling, and i have posted on this forum about needing marriage info and VWP and AOS etc etc......i do not understand the need to rush this thing....as I understand it marrying under the VWP and then adjusting status is TOTALLY ILLEGAL! So, I am over to visit my young lady on the west coast and just need to 'take it easy' to see what will happen.
But, what I do understand is that terminology is everything and after help o nthis site you all have me terrified that i will be interogated at the POE!! haha.....and yes......'i am visiting' as opposed to 'i am living' will go a long way......
so, i aim to be patient and not rush rush rush 90 day VWP...marriage....Adjust status.....
I have been married before and have to make sure that this is what i want and i hope others would do the same.....
besides, if you are to marry and 'spend rest of your life' with then surely it makes sense to do the whole Immigration thign slowly, legally and correctly?? right?
you know....where are you rushing to??
p.s thanks for posting on exactly what i have been thinking and labelling it 1. and 2.
p.p.s......from your points made it seems clear that you have ALREADY decided exactly what it is that you want to do anyway??

Re: Marrying my U.S boyfriend
So, you intend to lie at the border?
Which part of "It is illegal to enter the US with the intent to marry and stay to adjust status" didn't you understand?
We come across people like you all the time... so "in love" and "desperate" to be together, that you specifically plan to disregard US law because you "must be together ASAP". Well, I've got news for you... one day, when you're least expecting it, there will come a knock on your door and you will be detained by federal officers, sent home, and banned from entering the US. And you know what? It won't matter one iota that you are married to a US citizen!
So... perhaps you want to think twice before you do anything that will cause you grief down the road.
