If my B1/B2 visa expires and i marry to a US citizen, how to proceed to get a status in US? pls advice?

Answer 1

Go to this site:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

Answer 2

Immigration website for B1,B2 visas:

If you wish to come to USA for any of the following purpose, you can apply for B1 or B2 Visitor VISA. (Visiting your relatives/friends, medical treatment, Attending seminar or business purpose, company sponsored training).

Business related visitors should apply for B1. Others can apply for B2.

The purpose of the VISIT should be short term and the applicant should have permanent residence in the home country. To obtain B1/B2 VISA, the visitor should show strong evidence to prove that their intention is just to visit USA and their stay in US will only be temporary. Also, they should submit the documents to prove that they have strong base in their home country and will return from US within the permitted time.

For you to marry a US citizen is a technical violation of your visitors visa. It very much sends the wrong message to the Immigration department and may prevent you from obtaining a green card.

You are supposed to leave the country and then this fiance that you just happened to meet while on holiday can apply for a K1 visa to bring you back.

Answer 3

when does your visa expire? does the visa expire or the duration of your allowed stay?

Answer 4

Check out uscis.gov. If your spouse files the proper paperwork, you'll be able to adjust to immigrant status while in the US. But your spouse will have to file everything first, including an I-130 immigrant visa petition, an I-485 adjustment of status form, an I-765 work authorization request, a G-325 biographic statement form, and a number of other odds and ends. When you go to uscis.gov, take a good look at the instructions for the I-485, among other things.
