Worry about the wedding for now, afterwards you can start doing the forms. Its really not that difficult. There are guides on this site that will help you.

Try this flowchart link for high level steps:

Basically, after you marry, you apply for adjustment of status and an EAD... once you receive conditional residence status, you'll file to remove conditions and receive a green card.

Enjoy your wedding planning!!

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Start Here www.USCIS.gov

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-485.htm

You will need to file

I-130 ( I-864) together with your spouse filing I-485, I-765

You can file yourself so long as you are organised and read instructions on all forms prior to filing. If your case is typical Fiane filing AOS then you can save $ by filing yourself.

First step is to Get married, try to bring friends or family if it is a civil wedding it helps to have witnesses,

Then while awaiting your applications approval you start establish your life together, (joint lease, bank accounts ect.. )you will need to have that in order to Show Bona Fida marriage at your AOS interview.

Be sure to follow the guidance of the USCIS web page before sending your applications

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices...nal/index.htm#H

See attached, this is a list of what I put together for my wife's AOS we have received our interview letter and will have our interview within 96 days of filing, we had NO RFE's and so far everything is going smoothly

In the attachment is also an example of a cover letter to send with your application and a break down of what to file and Estimated cost.

Good Luck

I-130 is not filed with AOS for a K1.

It appears that you this poster was already in the U.S. and applied for AOS directly.

This post was bad information for a K1.
