lolsss, thank you so much VO.
Am so relieved now.
May God bless you exceedingly Ma! You'll never lack help in times of need.

VisaOfficer:
Good morning! The F1 visa is strictly for unmarried persons. If you get married before you enter the United States, one of two things will happen. First, if immigration officials find out that you are married, you may not be allowed to enter the U.S. You'd be turned away until your case becomes current in your proper visa category, F3 (married children of U.S. citizens).

If you manage to enter without telling anyone about your change in marital status, and then file for your spouse, the facts will come out when you apply for citizenship, and you will probably not be allowed to naturalize. So you'll be an LPR forever, subject to deportation if you break the law, unable to file for your siblings or parents.

Don't let him pressure you. Think it through and make the decision that's right for you.

Pls Vo, how soon am I allowed to return to get married after entering the US?

Thanks Ma.

Thank you so much VO. I've told him my decision. If he can't wait, then it wasn't meant to be.
Thank you so much for this honest advice.
May God bless you.

Hello Dearest VO,
Trust you're splendid Ma.

Please I have a troubling question Ma.
I just got an F1 visa few weeks back and yet to travel to the US.
The issue is, my boyfriend whom I intend to get married to eventually (as we just discovered we're one month pregnant) is insisting we get married at the registry even before I leave cos he says he doesn't want to takes chances or gamble with his heart and future.

Pls Ma will it be a problem for me or even him (cos I intend to file for him later), if I go ahead and marry him at the registry now before entering the US or should I insist on going to the US first and then coming back for us to get married as planned initially?
He has made it clear I should forget him if I insist on traveling first.

Pls help me out of this dilemma as am almost loosing it!
Thanks.
