I currently live in the Portland Oregon area. I have met the most wonderful lady from the Philippians and we want to get married. We have known each other for over 6 months. She came to the US on a tourist visa and is now a overstay by about 6 months. How difficult will it be to change her status when we get married? Will she be able to stay here in the US with me while they work on her paper work, or will they make her go back to the Philippians? I am a natural born US citizen. I am open to any suggestions and any help. I don't want to lose this wonderful lady! Thanks!!
