    Question F-1 Marrying a US Citizen

    Hi

    I'm currently in F-1 status. I've been legally here for about 2 yrs and the f-1 will expire in 2010. I have a social security numbers because I work on campus and besically in good standing. My boyfriend just received his citizenship in October this yr after being a PR for 18 yrs. We plan to get married, but only to sign the legal papers and do the ceremony in a few years from now because my parents are very indian-cultured and want us to be married or if not break-up. What will happen to my status? And what will we need to do/ get for forms and all that? If he shows to sponsor me, would he need to show financial assets? I work on campus and don't make that much, and he is in the same position with his job. I don't know what to do. Please Help.

    Default Re: F-1 Marrying a US Citizen

    If you marry and petition to adjust your status, there shouldn't be a problem. If you play games and delay, you will either have to leave the country to avoid going out of status, or you will overstay and risk becoming subject to deportation proceedings during the period of years you apparently plan to overstay.

    Your sponsor needs sufficient income and assets to sponsor you, but if your fiancé does not personally meet the criteria he can get a cosponsor.
