So I want to marry this girl and she's already here in the US on a J1 visa that expires January 2009. I'm guessing the way it works is that we get married like normal, and then I file the I-130 form to petition for a relative to stay here, since marrying turns her into my wife, which means family right? And then also at the same time I file the I-485 form for permanent residence? Those things are expensive to file too, just want to make sure I'm not throwing $1,500 away here.
So if those two forms are what I need to fill out after I marry her, uh... how exactly do I go about actually getting married? I guess I gotta fill out and submit forms for that too, but where?
