Hi There--I'm new to these groups and have done some searching, but I
haven't found quite what I'm looking for yet, so here goes:

My fiancé and I (US Ctitizen) are planning to get married in August and his
current TN will expire soon (he does not have time to apply for a real
dual-intent visa). He plans to renew the TN Visa next month and I'm worried
that this will come up in INS interviews after we're married and going
through the status adjustment process (i.e., the fact that we intended to
marry when he renewed his most recent TN). Is this a real concern and if
so, what's the best way around it so we can still get married when we've
planned (the church, hall, etc. are booked, and we just found out about the
TN conflict).

Thanks in advance for any advice.

It seems that you have two possibilities:

a) Have a civil ceremony ASAP, he can file for AOS and an EAD and,
hopefully, won't have too much time in between the TN visa expiry and the
EAD coming through. You can then have your "proper" wedding in August as
planned.

b) Have him go ahead with your current plans, being truthful on the
application about marrying you (because not doing so could *really* screw
things up) and take your chances that he'll be stuck in Canada.

It's not ideal but I think I would go with option (a).

Andy.
