  • B2 Visa visiting my BF in US. Shall we marry here or wait for K1

    Hello everybody!

    I've been coming and going to the U.S. since last year (this is my fourth time) to visit my bf. Now I've been in the US for almost 4 months and 1/2 now, and planning to stay until almost the expiration of my I-94 (6 months).

    My boyfriend and I just decided to get married. My doubt is: what is better for me to do? We thought about applying now for the K1 visa, I go back and wait in Brazil.. But it's like 6-8 months to get this approval + schedule for interview there, is that right? We didn't want to stay away that long, because for him is kind of hard to go visit me, because of work. So, is there any other option? If I marry here and apply for a B2 extension, is that a possibility?
    I don't want to do anything that can go wrong..

    Thank you!!

    You can marry here and file adjustment of status.

    Most people changing from B1/B2 to GC thru US cit. marriage are successful but there is always a risk changing from visitor to GC
    if you get a bad officer at the interview.
    This is not a legal advice. Use at your own risk.
