Q: Can I marry to GF who is here in US on Visitor visa?
I am a US citizen, and my GF is an Indian citizen and in Canada on a student visa. She got a US visitor and visited the US for a week in April 2019. Now we are planning to get married in Oct-2019, she will come here in the US for a week and get married and then she will go back to Canada. Meanwhile, I will start her paperwork (I-130). Just want to ask you if this is a good approach and if there are any things which I should consider.
A: This is a very sensitive issue in the eyes of the Immigration officers who will explore the questions surrounding your marriage interview. You should discuss your case privately with counsel for a full review of the facts of the situation.
