Re: ES visa and marriage
Dear Madam,
Because you entered on the Visa Waiver Program, you are not permitted to change your status while you are in the U.S. As a resullt, you will have to process for a visa as a dependen of your husband outside the U.S.
Feel free to contact us for detailed assistance.
Re: ES visa and marriage
Since you entered under Visa Waiver Program you are not eligible to change your status in the U.S., thus once you get married, you will have to go through consular process.
Please contact us if you need assistance or additional questions.
Re: ES visa and marriage
Did you enter with a B-2 visa or did you enter under the visa waiver program? Your ability to change status in the US will depend on how you entered. As for marriage, you can get married either in the US or outside of the US in order to be eligible as a dependent of your husband. However, your ability to apply for immigration benefits while remaining in the US will depend on how you entered the country.
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
