Legal Question in Immigration Law in Maryland

Re: f1 violation

I would consider you a very lucky person if you have not been placed in immigration proceedings as yet. I would suggest that your U.S. citizen spouse, if he or she has not already, file a I-130 petition while you simultaneously file an I-485 and I-765 for your work authorization, and get moving on getting you legalized. Don't wait. I caution you, however, find a good lawyer because there may be some explaining to do regarding your f1 visa which you violated by not attending school. If you wish some assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office for a consultation. Good luck and the best to you.

Yes, as long as you entered the US legally, you can marry a US citizen and apply for an adjustment of status (your green card).
