Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Hi, Im a mexican male 28 years old with a B1/B2 visa, me and my gf now fiance been living together for 2 years here in Mexico and we are getting married in march 2010 in Baja and have plans to move to the US (Austin, Tx) afterwards and of course I'll have to work there because my savings wont last forever, specially after travelling the world on a honeymoon! and also she wants to do her masters so we will be in the US for a while, so my question is, whats the easier way to go for us in order to obtain a working permit for me (around may 2010),and I forgot to mention we are willing to do the civil marriage today (ceremony in baja in march 2010) and that we dont want to spend any time apart.

So according to me my options are:

a) having the wedding here in Mexico and then go to the states and appply for AOS

b) enter the US under my B1/B2 visa, get married and apply for AOS

c) k1 visa

d) k3 visa

But I want to know an expert opinion for the easiest and more convenient way to go.

Thanks

The proper way is to marry abroad where you live together, and apply for an Immigrant visa. I assume that your future wife is a USA citizen, even through you didn't mention it.

It's not advisable to come to USA on B2 visa and apply for adjustment of status immediately, as it can be viewed as a 'preconceived immigrant intent'.
