Hello,

I am a U.S. citizen. My boyfriend entered the U.S. under a work visa. He came here to work as a musician. We want to get married and his work visa is going to expire at the end of February. We don't know what to do. I would like him to stay here with me. Please help, I think we are running out of time. These are our questions;

Should we get married before his visa expires?

Should we file before his visa expires or can we file after?

should we file form i-485 for AOS and i-130 petition for alien relative concurrently?

P.S) we have been boyfriends for 6 years now :)

thank you so much!

get married as soon as possible and file 130 and 485, once you file these 2 documents than your boyfriend will be legal and will get EAD soon to keep his

working permit valid.

There's another problem, Im currently not working and we need to fill out form i-864 sponsoring form. He works and he can support ourselves. Does anyone know if he can fill out this form for himself?

If he is working legally and his income will continue from the same source after his green card is issued then you can include the foreign spouse's income on an I-864A as a household member of the main sponsor (your spouse).

Are you a same-sex couple? If so, you should consult an immigration attorney (I recommend J Craig Fong) to discuss your options. Unfortunately at the moment, due to DOMA, immediate-relative (spousal) immigration sponsorship is not available to same-sex partners, even if they are legally married under state law.
