1. Yes. I realize that the expert will not receive credit unless I rate them, and if I require clarifications or follow-up, I will not rate the response, but instead will click "REPLY". Does it matter which reply I rate once the conversation is complete?2. I think so. It's based on my satisfaction with the level of service, correct?3. By "running into trouble", I am referring to the chances of having my wife deported.4. This is hypothetical. So please explain why the arrival date is significant.
Rating me int he top three gets me credit for working with you. Thanks for asking. A person who enters the US on a visitor visa with the intent to get married and apply for a Green Card, is committing Immigration visa fraud. The USCIS may presume that a person entered with immigrant intent, committing immigration fraud, if they enter as a visitor, and get married to a US citizen within the first 90 days of entering the US. The spouse usually has an opportunity to show that this was not the case. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to advise you on how to do so - only an attorney with whom you have consulted or retained should do so. I hope I have answered your questions.
