on my wife's tourist card they put this in the remarks field.. remember the immigration officer gaveher a really hard time at the airport and she basically knew she was going to come get married here in the US.

here is what it says... limited stay. NO EOS, NO COS. for 7A1. as per S11 Scofield..

I am not sure if that is a "S" or a "5" for S11 Scofield.

what does this mean. I know that the NO COS means no CHANGE of STATUS.. am I right? however since we did get married here in the states and I am a legal CITIZEN. can she get residency here? I know aboutthe 180 days.. and I am going to file before.. however I want to know if she will be able to do it. THe officer only gave her a limited stay of 2 weeks so we got married in 1 week when she arrived.

INS frowns upon misrepresentation, to the extent that if you file for AOS, they will deny your wife.

Reason, she misrepresented herself to the INS officer at the POE. If she had divulged that she was coming in the U.S to get married, she would not have been alowed into the U.S. A toursit visa dfoews not allow dual intent.

At this point, speak with an immigration lawyer, he might tell you to try your luck....... but remember if you get denied, it will be harder to get her into the states in the furure.

As an aternative, you could send her back and file the K visa for her.... I her that is a l ot faster than the AOS process.

Good luck!

just found out..

EOS= extension of stay
COS= change of status

this means the officer really did not like my fiancee at the time.. wife now.. and this makes it ALOT harder on both of us now.

since we did get legally married her in TX and she has overstayed her 2 weeks that Immigration has given her.. what can we do.. we did get married in the 2 weeks that she was her legally.

well she has not left the US since we have gotten married.. and we were going to file for the k-1 visa however we decided to get married when shw was her spur of the momment. we planned thewedding in a week and got married. nothing big at all.

I guess the best thing is to get a lawyer and fight for her to become a resident.

I wish you all the bast, as you fight for your wife's residency.
