Filing for AOS few weeks after B2 entry

Hi folks,

I am contemplating to apply for AOS based on my marriage. How likely it is to receive the positive answer if application have been submitted shortly after landing as B2 visitor? Also what will happen if I win green card while my marriage e based AOS still in process?

Thanks in advance,

Alex,

Alex,
You do know that it is illegal what you are trying to do? If you didnt know, now you know and do the right thing cause you will likely face a tougher scrutiny on this issue... I dont envision you winning the lottery, because the results have been announced since May-June, and if they never contacted you then, consider it a lost cause...

Hi Al,

I have read about many people adjusting B1/ B2 to AOS. Are you talking about issue or `rapid change of intent`? I am looking for information about best way of doing it successfully. It seems the corner stone it to prove my intent was not to immigrate at the POE and then demonstrate a very valid reason for rapid change. What do you folks think?

The POE permitted duration of stay has to be over 60 days to be eligible to file for AOS?

As to green card I am talking about next year one to which I am about to enter later.


Alex.

Just curious, what is the "right thing" in this case. No matter how it is done, if there is an AOS application immediately after entering using a B2 visa, that shows intent, right? Especially if the marriage happened outside the country and before the day the person entered the country. I am guessing the right thing here is consular processing?
[To Alex]: Also, if you file for AOS, that means you cant leave the country (since it leads to abandonment of petition; obviously you can do it with AP).
