Re: Marriage

As long as you are here legally it should be ok. You will file to adjust your status to permanent resident.

Congratulations on your marriage. Providing your marriage is legitimate and you enter the USA legally you should not have any problems petitioning to become a resident of the USA. You can remain in the USA whilst your petition is being processed and the whole process should take approximately 6 -9 months. I can assist you preparing the petition. My contact information is below.
