Try to find out if your future husband can apply to become a US citizen first, then get married. You will get a green card much faster.

But yes, this might harm your travel outside the US if they ever found out that you were married. I don't see how they would know, unless you tell an Immigration officer at the airport. Marriage to an LPR (Legal Permanent Resident) indicates that you have intent on living in the US. Having a F-1 visa indicates that you are going to return home to your country after your education is complete. Therefore you are in violation of your F-1 status and they can deny you entry.

The best way to avoid this is not to advertise the fact that you are married when you reentry the US.

But see if he can get his citizenship first, this will help you a lot.

Good luck!

Answer 2

The visa may be good for 5 years, but you were admitted for duration of status, so you can stay as long as you're a student. Your marriage doesn't directly affect your status as a student, and so it doesn't preclude you from traveling in and out of the US. It could complicate things, but as long as you maintain your status as a full time student, you should be ok. You shouldn't hide the fact that you're married, especially if your spouse files a petition for you. You'll risk far bigger problems trying to hide your marriage than you will by simply telling the truth.

you can leave US. however, you may not be able to obtain other non-immigrant visa to return to US once you have finished your study in US. this is because you are qualify for immigrant visa as the spouse of green card holder. which means you may have intention to migrate to US. most non-immigrant visas do not allow dual intent. dual intent refers to the concept that certain visitors may be temporarily present in US while acting in a manner that later leads to obtaining lawful permanent residence.
