Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

H-1B Visa and Marriage

Hello,

I am here from Canada on an H-1B

Visa and I am getting married in a

few months. My fiance is a U.S.

citizen. What do I have to do

afterwards because I know there is

some paperwork I have to file, but

I'm not sure what it is. With the

current visa, I can only work for the

company that sponsored me and

after I get married, I want to be able

to do some other jobs on the side.

Thank you very much for your

assistance.

Good luck.

Adjustment of status would allow you to apply for lawful permanent residence through marriage to a US citizen.
