I am getting married in Nov. 2013 and me and my future wife both are planning for MS in US fall 2014.
As we came to know that marriage can decrease the chances of F1 Visa, we are considering following options.
1) We will not make legal marriage certificate in Nov. so legally we are not married at the time of visa and will make it after we both get the F1 visa .
2) We will make marriage certificate with Nov. date itself and will be honest during Visa about our marriage.
If we consider first option, do we need to inform consulate about our marriage before going to US when we both have independent F1 visa ?
Could anyone please advise if first option is safe enough and not a fraud legally or should we go for second option...?
