    Question Marrying a Legal Non-Citizen

    My gf/ fiancee was on a student visa. Now she is on OPT which expires in a month. I was waiting to get married until I graduated so I could get a good job, but I graduated in Dec. and am job hunting right now.

    If we get married, now:

    what forms must we fill out? [from my knowledge I-130, I864]

    Can she live here after we get married while waiting for our forms to be processed? [she only has 1 more month of OPT]

    I know I don't make enough now to sponsor her, but my father would be a co-sponsor.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Don't forget the I-485.

    She can't adjust her status based on marriage until she's married. Once she does so, if she goes out of status on her visa she will want to stay in the U.S. until she gets permanent residency. Depending on the facts, if she applies for adjustment of status before she goes out of status, she may be able to get advance parole for travel before she has a Green Card.

    cool.

    thanks.

    I think I got all the forms figured out.

    But now I'm not sure why I need a I-130, if she's already here legally....
