Okay, this is my first time posting this online, so bear with me:
I withdrew from my university and am currently in a fix. I know I have 15 days' to leave the US, but I also am planning to marry a US citizen whom I have known for a year now. Before I was granted my F1 visa, I already have a visa which I applied for my previous employment in my home country. On this visa it is stated as 'B1/B2'.
Now here are my questions:
#1: We plan to go through our marriage ceremony soon, but would that cause me any trouble with the immigration? What are the neccesary paperwork we need to file after our wedding? Do I still have to leave the country before the 15 days' period expires? My fiance and I have looked through various websites on marriage visas and such, but none mentions about having a fiance/fiancee who's ALREADY in the country.
#2: If filing for the marriage paperwork would not keep me in a legal status, can I change my F1 to the B1/B2 visa that I have? Am I able to seek employment if I'm on a B1/B2 visa? What should I do then if that helps?
Would really appreciate replies from anyone who has knowledge on this. Thanks.
