    U.S. Citizen Thinking of Marrying a Russian
    My girlfriend is from Russia. She has a social security card and a visa to be in the US until september. I don't know what kind of visa it is but she's not going to school here, only working.

    What would be involved if we wanted to get married? Could she stay here longer? I've heard all kinds of different things about this and just looking for the truth.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

    If she's legally in the country, you would marry then petition to adjust her status. Once that petition is filed she should not leave the country unless she first obtains 'advance parole', as overstay beyond the end of her visa could trigger a period of inelgibility to reenter the United States.

    Thank you for that. Is there somewhere on the net that I can go to find out about where to do paperwork and other FAQs about this sort of thing.

    Thanks again.

    You mean, other than the dozens of threads discussing the process within this forum?
