******Hoping someone can give us advice! Unusual scenario!*****

My wife is a dual US and UK citizen and I am a UK citizen. We met in London and were married there. She moved back in January for a job. I came with her to visit for 3 months and we filed during my visit.

We filled the i-130 in early February and then the i-129f in late february. We didn't use a lawyer and got very confused thinking our only option to speed up the process was filing the i-129f.

I went back to London for a few months. Then I came back to visit my wife over the summer. During my visit, we have received NOA that both i-130 and i-129f have been approved and sent to the NVC.

Legally, my passport says I can stay till SEP 02 in a months time. Would it be possible for us to file AOS i-485 and let me stay in the country? As my legal presence will expire SEP 02, I don't want to stay here illegally or anything that would annoy the US Government.

We are very confused and would appreciate any advice!!!! Thanks!!!
