Question about 90 days rule
Hello All,
I would like some advice from all of you who went through similar experiences or have an idea. My wife has been studying in the US for the last ten years as a F-1 student. I met her during the pandemic and decided to get married. She got accepted to graduate school and had to get a new visa over this summer. So we went out overseas during the summer and came back then got married on the paper few days after. Ive heard that this would create a problem. I thought it would be okay since she was a student for a long time and we didnt really have any plans but just wanted to get legally married first. So we consulted our lawyer and she said it would be best for us to do our interview back home in Korea. We recently submitted our documents, which was after 90days after we came back although the lawyer said it wont really matter anymore. We got our receipt within a week saying that the case is processing. Does anyone have similar experience regarding the 90 day rule?

lol you can easily prove that she has been studying in us for a long time and came here to study and not get married. she is on F-1 visa. 90 days does not apply on you. it did for me. please consult to another lawyer.

AA : that’s what my lawyer said… I have been under the F1 visa for 6 years and before that I was on another visa… so I didn’t know move here to get married … life happens.
