Dear Inquirer:
If you are in the US pursuant to a lawful admission, you may be able to file for your adjustment of status in the US. If you are outside the US, you would be filing for either an immigrant visa directly or for a K-3 nonimmigrant visa and subsequently apply for adjustment of status in the US after arrival.
I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

There are a bunch of forms, some of which apply to everyone and some which only apply to some people.

In general, if you are in the U.S., the forms to file are I-130 and I-485 to obtain your green card. However, if you are not yet in the U.S. then the I-485 would not apply. There are also additional forms to complete, depending on the specific needs of your case.
To discuss your specific case further, kindly email me directly at [email protected].
