F1 student marrying US citizen in INDIA and re-enter US on F1 visa

[jashwant]

Hi,

I am currently a PhD student under F1-ViSA in the USA. I plan to marry an American citizen (Arranged marriage by parents) in India on June 2018. After the marriage I plan to enter USA in the same F1-VISA. But later while filing AOS it will be a visa fraud as I enter USA on F1 with "intent to immigrate". I have one possible solution for this. 

1. Marry in India but do not register the marriage. Come back to USA on F1, conduct a formal wedding in the USA and file AOS with that wedding. 

Is this a possible solution. Since the time is short I would not able to first marry in the USA file AOS then travel to India in June for the wedding. As all arrangements are already made I do not know what else to do. Let me know your suggestions.

Instead of making any assumptions let the firm of Murthy or any of your choice guide you about the way to go.

If you return on a F1 visa and file AOS after one year, you will have no trouble in any case.

Thanks for the information. I will get in touch with someone at your firm.
