Q: I'm a resident I want to get married to my boyfriend from my country. if we get marry would his visitor's visa be evoke
Would he still be able to visit me without a green card
A: Simpy marrying a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Legal Permanent Resident does not automatically result in one's visitor visa being revoked. That being said, if he departs the United States and later attempts to reenter the United States using the visitor visa, it is always possible that a U.S. Customs & Border Protection officer may question him about the purpose of his visit. If the officer, for example, comes to understand that his spouse lives in the U.S., the officer may question whether he is really coming to visit; thinking instead that your husband has "immigrant intent." If the officer thinks your husband is an intending immigrant and is trying to enter on that basis, but using a visitor visa to do so, he could turn your husband around. The fact that your husband is married to one who lives permanently in the United States; that alone should not serve as a basis for the CBP officer to do what I described, but CBP officers often do so. You may wish to speak with a competent immigration attorney in a private setting (office consultation) to more fully understand your options.
