I'm a UK citizen and will be moving to the USA when I will be marrying my partner who is a U.S Citizen.
My question relates to delicate process of doing so.
When entering the USA I will have a normal 3 month max, tourist visa. Once married, how long is it advised you wait until yourself and your partner apply for your green card?
I have heard there is a chance of rejection if doing it too early as you 'misrepresented yourself at the airport' when entering.
Also, the process for your green card/work authorization to come through takes time - what if your 3 months is up and the process is still ongoing?
Lastly, is it a safe enough process filing for the green card yourself instead of via a immigration lawyers? I gather you save quite a lot of money from doing so!?
Thanks for any help!
