If your fiance had no intent to immigrate when she arrived, then you file a CONCURRENT I-130/I-485 application. VJ Guide here http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

If she did have intent to immigrate when she arrived, that is visa fraud and you should follow the IR-1 visa path and have an interview in her home country. Good luck and happy wedding!

Thank you for your response. She has resided in the US most of her life. She graduated high school and attended college here. Her intentions at the time of her entry were not to get married. She entered in november 2010 and i decided to engage last month. I was just unsure of what form to file first and what order to go in. So i should file both form I-130 and form I-485 at the same time?

So has been in the USA overstaying a B-2?? Anyway, if have evidence of a legal entry, then AOS should work out, normally overstay of a tourist is forgiven based on marriage to US Citizen.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.
