Q: My boyfriend is entering the US with a Visa Waiver Program. How can he stay with me without going back if we marry.
He is coming from Belgium.
A: This is a dodgy situation that needs a private discussion with an immigration attorney in your area. The Visa Waiver Program is intended for nonimmigrant travel (business, vacation, etc.) and is not meant to be used by people who, in reality, do not plan to return to their home country. He could find himself in trouble with immigration if he uses the program improperly. Consult with an immigration attorney to discuss the correct ways to bring a fiance/husband. Good luck.
