My fiance and I are getting married on the 28th and well then be filing to allow him to stay and work in the country once it's all approved.

I'm the american, he's australian. As long as we do everything that we need to do and fill out for the visa, we wont run into any problems right? I'm reaching out cause I want to hear what other people have to say about it. Any help is loved and appreciated!

Depends....how is he in the US? As in - did he come in on the VWP, a tourist visa, or some other type of visa?

If he came on the VWP or a tourist visa, you may run into problems when he tries to AOS, as using these visas/waivers means he didn't have intent to stay in the US. If he did enter on one of those with the intent to stay, this may end up causing you problems.

if your getting married on the 28, then you need to file the1-130 cr-1-visa for approval,estimated time around is about 8 to 10 months if you don't have any RFE.S.FOLLOW THE GUIDES do read, vjwiki guides look at the example forms, and the ask vj members questions, you should not have any complications.

Well theres no way he could stay in the US without a visitors visa? He doesn't have any skills to allow him in the US for a longer period of time. We've been together for almost 7 years and can prove we've talked a lot and all our visits to each others country. I mean we practically consider ourselves already married but not on paper.

Yep, we're aware of the time frame but we're alright waiting a little bit longer to meet our goal of being able to spend the rest of our lives together.
