Hey everyone, new to the forums here but I've been reading on quite a bit. This is all brand new to me to please bear with me, some of these questions might be total newbie questions.

My wife and I have been together for 2 years now, and on we decided to get married on last week Dec 22nd. She's a Mexican national, and comes here regularly on a Border Crossing Card. It's the old style (prior to 1998) which (correct me if I'm wrong) only allows a visit of 72 hours maximum).

My first question is, now that we're legally husband and wife here in Texas, does anything automatically change about her restrictions? Judging by what I've read so far the answer is no, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

The second question I have is should I file for a adjustment of status or try to obtain a new K-3 visa for her? I've read that USCIS doesn't look fondly upon people getting married on a BCC, but it was sort of spontaneous, so I didn't even think about getting her a K-1.

What route should I go about to get her to be able to stay her legally?

According to what you stated, I don't see any problems at all filing for AOS from within the US. Use forms I-485, I-131, and I-761 concurrently as soon as possible.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
