L1 visa holder marrying US citizen soon after entering

[avamaria]

I currently have a B1/B2 visa. My firm is sponsoring me for an L1 visa. I am not currently engaged to my girlfriend who is a US citizen and lives in the US.

I intend to enter the US on the L1. After my entering the US, it is possible that we will get married soon, say within a couple of months.

1. I understand L1 is dual-intent. Does that mean the 30/60 day procedural guideline of preconceived intent for non-immigrants applying for AOS does not apply to L1 visa holders?

2. Can I get married to my US citizen girlfriend within a month of entering and then immediately file for AOS and I-130?

You can marry any time after entered in the US. The question comes is this a bonfide marriage, you should prove this is a valid marriage (Keep all the records how you met her, when, how, where you decide you marry).
the question is here the IO may think that your purpose of admission into US is to gets benefits of immigration. (Be prepare for this question to be answer).
- After marriage immediately you can file AOS.
- Prepare all the documents once you get married (Joint lease, joint bank accounts, joint utility bills, Car/life insur, etc)
Good Luck
