I would like some guidance on the following issues. I am 39 years old, single, out status alien(tourist visa expired, living in the us for about 7 years, clean record).I am about to finish my B.A in engineering in a US university in the Us east coast.
My girlfriend just became US resident(we have been living together for 6 years already) She holds an American Master's Degree.
Also I have filled two petition I130 processes:
1.I130 Immigrant petition US citizen brother: my Us citizen brother is petitioning me. We applied on September 2005. It is been 7 years already. Processing time as today: 13 months
2.I130 Immigrant petition US resident unmarried child over 21 : my Us resident mother is petitioning me. We applied on November 2007.It is been 5 years already.Processing time as today: 5 months
Questions.
In order to have an adjustment status which is my the best option
1. Should I marry her? If I marry her will my other two processes be void?. What benefits will I be granted in marring her? Can I apply for a work permit? if so, how long this work permit will take.
2. Should I wait for any of the two processes to be given a decision. Why my process by my us resident mom is taking so long?
