I am surprised that your spouse, doesn't know what to do.

There is a whole process after the marriage that you need to do.

You have to file I-485 for the status adjustment, together with that you can file for Employment Authorisation (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP). All the forms and insturctions are available on the USCIS.gov website together with fees (approx $1030).

After you get approved you will get a temporary GC for 2 years, prior to your 2nd year expiration you can file for remove temporary condition, and upon approval you will get your permanent resident status.

It is a lengthy process and does take time, so be ready to wait.

Good luck on your journey, and tell your current spouse to get his things together as he should've known all of that.
