F-1 Visa Holder Marrying a US Citizen

[leandermes]

Hi,

I am an F-1 visa holder with one year left to complete in my program. My fiance is a US citizen and we plan to get married as soon as possible- we'd just like to sort out all the legal stuff before we make it official.

I am only vaguely familiar with the process; I was wondering if any of you guys would shed some light on the process, i.e. what needs to be done, any possible complications with my current status etc.

Thanks for the help!

What, specifically, about the process? There are dozens, probably hundreds, of threads in this forum hitting the highlights.
