Hi there, I'll give you a summary of my situation.
Girlfriend is US citizen, I'm UK citizen with Australian Residency.
We've been together for over 2 years.
I came to visit her last year, and spent 11 months in America with her on a B2 visa (with extension).
I proposed to her in Thailand, we scheduled our wedding for March 2018. We started looking into K1 Visas.
I came back to Australia, worked for 4 months and have returned to America to spend more time with her.
I got some extra questioning at immigration. ' Are you planning on getting married whilst visiting America?' I said no.
I was granted a 3 month stay.
Our intention is to get married in March (I would go back to Australia one more before returning under K-1), but now that we're together again, we really do not want to have to spend months apart again before the wedding.
Getting married (low-key) and filing for adjustment of status would make everything much easier but I'm worried about potential red flags.
I know there is the 30-60 rule I've read about. I worry that if we got married in the 3rd month that would also raise alarms.
In hindsight we should have got married during the 11 months I was in America last year, but we didn't want to rush into a wedding.
Basically I'm asking if I were to get married during my 3 month stay and file for adjustment of status, will there be problems? I don't want to be seen committing visa fraud.
Thanks
