In may 2025 my cousin’s friend who’s a US citizen came to Trinidad and I met and built a relationship with him.

In June 2025 I came to United States with a visiting visa that gave me 6 moths out of my home country Trinidad & Tobago. In July we got engaged and then on October 15 we got married in the US. I’m looking into filing for my green card/ immigrant status as being a resident of the United States, what form/visa is best suited for our relationship/marriage to file for our application?

 

Do I apply for the k3 visa? 
Do I file just for adjustment of status? ( 6 months end on December 18th)

K-3 isn't relevant.

 

Meeting for the first time and marrying in just 5 months may raise some red flags. 

 

Personally I would go home and apply for a visa via consular processing, building up more evidence before you get to the visa application point. I just wouldn't risk it with the current administration, but it's your call. If you do decide to do AoS then make sure you have plenty of evidence that you were only visiting in the US and you intended to return i.e. you can show you had a leave of absence and a job to go back to, you have a house you were going to return to, etc. And think really carefully about what you said upon entry to the US too.

 

Best of luck.
