Save yourself a very big headache. DO NOT get married on a visa waiver. It is considered Immigration fraud because you will have immigrant intent. You may not be able to get a greencard, especially if the INS decides that you knew you were going to get married when you got on the plane.

Have your fiancee file for the K-1 fiancee visa. It will take a few months, but what are a few months when you're going to be together 'till death? The K-1 would give you 90 days to get married after your entry to the US.

What is a visa waiver?

First of all, the term "waiver" comes up in Immigration law more than once and, in more than one case the term is related to a visa. Most commonly, "visa waiver" and "waiver of inadmissibility." There is a difference between a visa waiver and a waiver of inadmissibility. A visa waiver applies when a qualifying alien comes to the United States without formally applying for a waiver at a US consulate.


You don't have a Visa but Can you get a Visa while your stay in the US?

Depends on your citizenhsip. If you are granted a visa waiver program then you need a visa only if you intend on staying more than the specified time allowed for you. If not, you need a visa and yes, you can be able to process it while in the US, given that your visa is not yet expired.

If you entered the U.S. through the Visa Waiver Program can you marry a U.S. citizen and apply to adjust your status without leaving the States?

Yes, but it must be spontaneous, not planned at the time you entered. And a genuine marriage, but if you are a visa waiver overstay (meaning you over staid the 90 day period of authorized stay that the visa waiver permits), then you can't. Unless you hold a 245i (an act that was in affect--now closed-- in 2001), which allowed anyone to apply for status while being in the country regardless of any status (undocumented, visa overstays, etc).If you going to do it with a visa waiver, you do have to prove the marriage is real because it is very suspicious that in 90 days you fall in love and are about to get married--immigration will put you under a microscope. If you have been in a relationship with someone in US for couple of months (either long distance or with sporadic visits to US), the best way to do this then is by petitioning a finance visa. This petitions should be done while you are outside the country. The visa is given pretty fast. Once you get to the US, you have like 60 days to get married. (usually 45 to 60 days after filing).

What are the Penalties for overstaying your tourist visa in US?

The penalties are that you are subject to arrest and deportation at any time. Your visa would be cancelled (if caught) and it will be difficult to get another visa/overstay waiver. Finally, unless you marry a US citizen, you cannot adjust your status while you are an overstay.


Can you still apply for visit visa for US even though you got voluntarily deported from there in the past?

You have to apply for a waiver/pardon since you have a deportation record. If you are accepted that waiver/pardon, then you can apply for a visa. However, being approved for a waiver/pardon does not guarantee the visa approval and, similarly, having a visa in your passport does not guarantee your entry into that country.
