Is this true or not? ?

Question

my friend who is going to marry a US citizen (he is in the navy) and after getting married her husband will be leaving on deployment a day after.... she called USCIS to ask them if she can still re-enter the states after her husband will come back from deployment (7 months after) without an immigration visa because they dont have time to file any paperwork. As far as I know and been told and read on several sites and the USCIS site as well, this is not legal.... but she called twice the USCIS call centre to ask them about the whole situation and both people from USCIS told her that that should not be a problem....(she even recorded both calls and have also their names)... now I m all mixed up coz i will be in the same situation soon and dont know what i shall do... can anyone please tell me if it is true?

They are going to get married in Virginia and then shes leaving back to Europe two days after and then shes planning to go back to USA next April when her husband is back from deployment.

Answer 1

Well it's not like when I was in the Navy and men were made from steel and ships were made from wood! The ships are made of steel now and have radios and telephones and "stuff". The husband can fill out the paperwork while at sea or where ever he is deployed!  

Answer 2

He can file the paperwork even while he is deployed. His CO's office can advise on this. Recording phone calls is no help at all and may be illegal so was a waste of time. They should get help from the Navy on this before they even marry as it will save time later. She won't be able to just come back when he gets back but if she marries him without a fiancee visa she will have to leave the US after the wedding. Tell them they MUST get advice first and that the Navy has trained people to help them.

Answer 3

1- it is illegal to record a phone conversation without asking the person permission first and if anything is submitted into court as an unauthorized recording it will be thrown out.  Do not rely on this as your back up for a defense.  

I would call and ask them for a definite answer not "It shouldn't be..." kind of answer because that sounds like someone is not so sure.  If they can't give you a definite answer then you better stay safe and not reenter the country until you have the proper paperwork.
