Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Marriage to USC

Yes, you and he should be filing the paperwork for your permanent residence. There are 2 steps to this, and they can be filed together. There are multiple forms, including an Affidavit of Support and you should apply for a travel document (called Advance Parole) and work authorization, if you want to work. The process can take 6 months or more, and you should not plan on travelling and returning in F-1 status once you are married. For more details, see the CIS website here http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/B1eng.pdf and my website: http://www.martinvisalaw.com/family_lpr.html.

I hope this helps.
