K1, excellent guides on here.

Is your friend currently outside the USA?  If yes, she cannot file within the USA, as that is visa fraud.  

 

If she’s outside the USA, her USC fiancé can file a K1 petition.  As mentioned above, read the guide - it’s very helpful.

With what status is she here in the USA? Work visa? Student visa? Tourist visa? Who is she marrying? A USC? An LPR?

So she’s here already? She can marry and adjust. If she’s not here yet, she can come here, marry and return home to wait for her CR-1 process to be completed.

Your friend  and her husband need to work together to understand the process and complete the application. If she is here having overstayed a visitor visa then she is out of legal status .. that is not a wise or safe place to be

This is important process and your friend should create an account and ask herself. I don't understand how can people do this - letting others take care of their issues.

 

Tell her to either use USCIS website or Guides section here on VJ.

Quite frankly it’s not your job to file their papers. They worked out what they needed to get married, they can work out what they need to adjust her status. For example, they can visit VJ and read the guides. If they really need assistance with all this, there are professionals you can pay to take care of it. 

 

I am always amazed at how many people ask their “friends” who have no knowledge of the process what they need to do. I wouldn’t ask a friend to replace my windshield wipers unless they knew that they were doing. So why anyone would ask a friend about something as serious as immigration is beyond me.

Let me make one thing clear. She ask because of her our personal reason which I'm not about to shame her on this platform. And if you had a good friend you could as as well. She also ask cause I went through the process on my own without help and she thought it would have been the same process for her which it's clearly not. I treat people the way I want to be treated seeking help. I gave her the site and the link to this feed, and I thought this platform was to help which it's clearly not.

Have a hard time figuring out if you friend is married or you can't be honest when asking a question?

Maybe if you did not give conflicting info on whether your 'friend' is currently married, you would get more helpful advice here.
