Hi I just got married here in Naples, FL w/my US citizen wife. HAPPY!!

I am currently on valid F-1 student visa w/Taiwan passport.

My passport is expired in 2006, but the F-1 visa is good until 2009 w/valid I-20.

I was wondering if USICS will care if my Taiwan passport is expired, or they only care my visa?

Because of the mandatory military service requirement in Taiwan, I can't renew my TW passport; I haven been studied here in US 8 years ago in US high school and colleges, all under F-1

My wife and I would like to understand the whole process of adjusting my status.

I read the part in "Guide" page, but still not sure the "flow" of the process.

Hope anyone had similar experience can help me get the big picture.

We are preparing the I-130 & I-485 form, but not sure which one(s) should send out 1st.

Also, my wife had a new business opened only for 6 month; and is self-employeed, we also like to know how to file the I-864 since we both young and never work for big company so not much tax record to show; but we both have very strong financial background in the bank.

We will greatly appreciated if anyone can help/guide us to start the process.

Thank you,
