Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Marriage on tourist Visa

Hi,

I am a US citizen and planning to marry my fiancee who came on a tourist visa(multiple entry). Her visa is active for 6 months. She is a polish citizen.

What is the best way to go about this? Would she need to apply for adjustment of status?

A fiance visa in all likelihood is perhaps your best option. I strongly suggest that you and your finance speak with an immigration attorney if you are considering marraige while she is in the U.S. and well before the expiration of her current visa.

Re: Marriage on tourist Visa

An immediate relative petition filed simultaneously with an adjustment of status application after marriage in the United States certainly may be a viable option.

Please be sure to consult with competent immigration counsel before you proceed.
