F1 Visa Holder Marriying a Permanent Resident

[locorecto]

I have a very complicated case, and I need some answer that can clear release me from all this stress.

I came to the United States country in 2007 with a F1 visa. I won a scholarship sponsored by the government of my country to complete a bachelor degree. I was sent to a community college to improve my English skills. I finished my associated degree at the community College last spring 2009. Since my school only issued the I-20 until June 2009, my visa was also issue until that date. Therefore, my visa is already expired. However, already got accepted into a 4 year college and I am starting in Fall 2009, so I am still under F1 status.

The institution that is sponsoring my scholarship agreed to pay for my bachelor. However, they are requesting all scholarship students to change their status to j1 by the beginning of spring 2010. If I don't do it, I will lose my scholarship and therefore my status since I don't enough money to pay for the very expensive tuition. The institution wants us to go back for two years after we finish our bachelor, so they forcing us to change our visas.

I have been living with my girlfriend since last year. She is a Permanent Resident since 2003 . She is planning to apply for citizenship on February 2010. We are planning to get married by the end of this month (August). I need to go back to my country to change my status to j1 by the end of the fall semester, so I can keep my scholarship.
Here are my questions:
Might getting married now increase the risk of been rejected when apply for J 1 visa?

When would be the best time to get married?

When would be the best time to apply for green card? (Summit I-130, I-485, I-765 and G-325)

My fiancee and I don't have any problems with me going back for 2 years after I finish my studies, as long as I come to visit her about 3 or 4 times in the period of 2 years.

Thanks for your help.

It ought not.

When would be the best time to get married?

After your fiancee takes the Oath of Citizenship. It simplifies things immensely for both of you.

When would be the best time to apply for green card? (Summit I-130, I-485, I-765 and G-325)

After the completion of your 2 year return home. Once you apply for a green card, you have to stay in the US until the processing is complete - and since under the terms of the J visa, you have to go back home, it doesn't make sense to start the process until you can actually stay put.

Thanks your response.

I have another question. Would I be able to apply for a Tourist Visa during my 2 years home residence, so I can visit my wife?

Thank you Again.
