Hi all!

I am currently a graduate student on F-1 visa. My fiance is in the process of applying for citizenship and we expect that he will receive his citizenship around May/June.

We have booked a trip to Alaska for August (Jul27-Aug22) and we plan to get married after we get back (September-ish). I will be entering US from Canada in late August using my F-1 visa.

F-1 visa requires that the applicant show no intent of immigrating to US. If I re-enter in August and get married to a citizen in September, will I have any problems once I apply for an adjustment of status (GC)? What can be the consequences?

I guess getting married and filing I-131 in June is out of question, since Advance Parole can take longer than a month (we are leaving to Alaska on July 27th).

Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!

Okay first thing first Your finace is still not a citizen .You can marry him any time you want but you can apply for advance parole or I 485 or work permit only after he gets his citizenship and applies for I 130 for u.
Coming to Alaska I am not sure what is the issue of a F1 student visting a state iN USA ?there is no port of entry problems in Alaska if you show your US drivers license or at best your F1 visa stamp if you have a valid I 120 with it.
The bottom line is you are a legal resident of America and Alaska is a part of America.
I am assuming you have been in uSA for a year atleast as a F1 student.
And coming to love love has no boundaries and no time frames or no immigration rules .. you could have fallen in love the very day u entered in usa and married the next month The adjustment of status for a legally entered person should be easy if you can prove your love and your marriage eventually are bonafide ..not when you fell in love or after how long you fell in love after you entered USA ..
Just my opinion

I am currently a graduate student on F-1 visa. My fiance is in the process of applying for citizenship and we expect that he will receive his citizenship around May/June. Was his citizenship interview already completed? If not, you should not have such specific expectations of when the citizenship will be approved. Although the usual time frame is 6-12 months, for some people it takes 3 months and others it takes more than 3 years. It is only after the interview is completed that you should start expecting specific time frames, because by law they have a limit of 120 days after the interview.
F-1 visa requires that the applicant show no intent of immigrating to US. If I re-enter in August and get married to a citizen in September, will I have any problems once I apply for an adjustment of status (GC)? What can be the consequences? If the soon-after-entry marriage is followed by an adjustment of status, the potential consequence is denial of the AOS for entering the US with immigrant intent. As you have described, you actually do have immigrant intent. But if you get married immediately after entry and then pursue consular processing instead of AOS, you wont have that intent issue to worry about.

Coming to Alaska I am not sure what is the issue of a F1 student visting a state iN USA ? The OP is planning to enter the US from Canada in August.
