GC holder marrying F1 student who just entered US
Heres my situation, and I would really appreciate any help on this matter or any input you could possibly give me.
I am a GC holder. I got my green card in August 2009. That same year, in September, I went overseas for 2 months. I happened to fall in love with the sister of a woman who is married to my brother. We had some good times but we never really got serious. In June 2010 I went back overseas and hooked up again with the same girl. Often times we talked about life in USA, so I told her she should come and see it for herself. So, in November 2010 my girl applied for F1 and she got the visa. My father was her financial sponsor. Her sister couldnt sponsor her because of lack of money. Last month my girl came to USA and is about to start her studies in January.
Our relationship grew in the meantime and we connected to the point where we want to get married now.
Now I realized that her coming on F1 visa might be a problem because of an immigrant intent issue. Please advise us on our situation. I appreciate anybodys input. Thank you!
If she just happens to get a I-20 out of a school that is in your City and State, dont you think that is too much of a coincidence? I am sure she is in the same state as you are, I will be honest I like your story, that being said if you stick to your story I am sure USCIS will like it too as you have covered most of the loop holes.
Just make a little amendement to it, you said you fall in Love in September 2009 but never got serious and then your Love took a Vacation for a full long year and slept until November 2010, that doesnt make any sense, when you are in love you are in love period.

The F2A category retrogressed by two years so keep her F1 status intact as it will take 2 to 3 years for her to get a GC after you file for her as your wife.

You shouldnt marry your girlfriend at least until the summer. Your girlfriend was sponsored by your father, of all cases, which means your parents could be complicit in defrauding US consulate of procuring a visa which she didnt have any intention of using for school. Does she intend to attend college or she will become a housewife as soon as she is married and you for the I-130? She will need to maintain her F1 status for about 3 years or so, because as Name indicated, visa for F2A has regressed by about 2 years, which I think during the 3 years you could be dating and building solid proof of marriage, which should help you two when her I-485 becomes current (assuming you marry and file in 2011 summer). Marrying and filing for I-130 as soon as she arrives in the country is going to create problems for you in the long-term.
