Cabrera, :(

My advise, seek a lawyer because your cases is going to be of interest to the immigration authorities. Why? :confused: You were issued a tourist visa, and got married within 30 days, so the USCIS is going to smell deception in your initial visa application for your visit to the US. :confused:

In your initial questions: Visitor and Visa Expired. However, heed my advise and seek counsel from a competent (see competent and professional) immigration attorney. I can assure that USCIS is going to cry foul in your AOS case, because to visit and marry someone in the US within 30 is a record on its own. Moreover, USCIS will want to find out how long you have dated this person and whether there were plans to marry this person, if so, why didn't you apply for a fiance's visa? If you just met and decided to get married in Vegas as most people do, how can you convince the USCIS that your marriage is not to evade immigration laws of the US? This is going to be a difficult case for you and spouse, don't be an illusionist. Man... this is going to be ugly, and possible denial is on the cards, especially if in your consulate visa application you claimed otherwise. :rolleyes:

Listen, you proved enough ties to your home country, hence the US consulate issued you a visitor's visa. For you turn back and want to be an immigrant, lying to a US consulate officer is grounds for immigrant benefit denial. So, crap is going to hit the wall....better be ready for a rough ride.

Seek a lawyer.... oh you will remember this post... ;)
 
Can you clarify what you mean by you was given 30 days? 30 days to be in U S A or 30 to leave?

WHERE did she say that she got married within 30 days of entry???

I assume, she was given 30 days to depart the U.S. after her I-94 expired.
 
The answer to your question, is the status you have stamped on your I-94 which is Visitor.

Just to clarify, when they ask for your current status, they are looking to see
if you have had a change of status (i.e. from visitor to student) since your last entry, and if not then it is the same, which is visitor.

About the 30 days
When one enters the country on a B2 visa or visitor's visa your I94 is stamped an expiration date which is anyway from 1 day to 6 months from the arrival date. So even though she overstayed she is forgiven as she is married to a USC.
