In immigration law there is the concept of "Dual Intent" which says (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_intent):
"Most other foreign visitors and workers, like those on B-1 business, B-2 tourist, F-1 student, journalism, and entertainer visas should not have immigrant intent, as discussed above. Such visa holders can be denied admission if the consular or port official "reasonably believes" that they have interest in permanently remaining in the United States. (i.e. in pursuing a green card). Certain activities may appear likely to lead to U.S. permanent resident status in the belief of an experienced Government Official."
Will being married to an American with the obvious intention of getting a green card while doing my Hotel Management training in the U.S. prohibit me from getting a J-1 Visa?
