Change B1,B2 Status to K-1

[appachi357]

Hi, would appreciate some advice, answering a couple of questions. I'm a US citizen, seeking to marry my Chinese girlfriend, who is holding a B1, B2 multy entry visa. My question is if we decide to tie the knot, on her next 6 month visit, will she be able to stay here with me, after she files an Adjustment of Status from her current B1,B2 visa to a K-1 visa, until the K-1 is approved ? and what forms will we need to file ?, thank you so much for your help.

If she applies for adjustment of status from B-2, there is no need for K-1.

My question is if we decide to tie the knot, on her next 6 month visit, will she be able to stay here with me, after she files an Adjustment of Status from her current B1,B2 visa to a K-1 visa, until the K-1 is approved ?

Just for the record, I am not advocating that she enters the country on a B-2 with the intent to AOS.

Thank you so much Triple Citizen, you've been a big help

yes , i understand this, she is coming here to visit me as she has in the past, we have fallen in love and would probably like to get married, and be together for life, if it does come to marriage it will be in the later months of her ussaul 6 month stay, she is not coming here with the intent to get married, but can become a posibility in the later part of her stay.

if there is no need for her to apply for the K-1, what should she be applying for, and what forms should we be filing ?
