Adjustment of Status while on F-1 visa

[Tove Koch]

Hi everyone,

I am currently on the F-1 (student) visa and I am planning to get married to my boyfriend and then apply for adjustment of status. I am going home to Sweden for most of July, and I am not sure if it's best to get married before I go to Sweden or when I come back to the U.S. Is it risky in any way to get married before I go home to Sweden? A friend om mine said that it is smarter to get married when I come back, but I am not sure.

Thanks!

That's my advise too. Do it when you return.
