    Getting married after receiving a visa approval as a "child" but before entering the U.S. can have significant consequences. The visa becomes invalid, and the applicant may be denied entry or even accused of immigration fraud if they fail to disclose their new marital status. However, alternative immigration pathways exist, including reapplying under a different family-based category or seeking an employment-based visa. Transparency with U.S. immigration authorities is essential to avoid legal complications.
