I think quite a few people have been asking the same question in this forum, but I can't not find it. If you guys know, please lead me the link.

I am waiting for my oath ceremony coming this August. My fiance is a H1B visa holder. We've dating for almost nine years, the wedding date is in October. We will sign the marriage certificate and apply for her green card right after I get my citizenship. We really don't want risk a chance that she looses her job, has to move back to Vietnam...yada yada yada. I've read a lot from USCIS website, but somehow I've got lost. There are many different forms with long procedures, like I-130, I-864, I-485, I-693, I-765, I-131... Could you please give me some instruction and guide line, which forms I should send to USCIS and the procedure for them.

Greatly appriciate.

Hi Meogia,

Here you go with the step by step guide on how to file an I-130 for a spouse inside the US.

You can always marry in court before your Oath and click back of your interview letter and bring your marriage certificate on the date of your Oath and submit that paper. You should be fine. You can send all the paper work immediately after your oath. She is a spouse of an US Citizen then she will become AOS petitioner.

If your oath ceremony is in August and your wedding is in October, you cannot petition for your wife until October.

As bluehills said, you can go ahead and marry now and then you will be able to send the petition right after you obtain citizenship. If not, then you must wait until you have a wife in order to file a petition.
