Thank you again for all your help. I have another question. So me and my fiancé went to visit a lawyer just to ask about how much and everything. She said that around 1000 to 2000 dollars all. I was wondering is this like an average price or somebody here had done it with a lawyer and much is an average. My other question is in the things that she asked us like the papers that we need to bring and stuff she also asked for income and tax so my finance is not working right now he's still in the university on his last year will this be a problem for the process or does he needs to get a job and if it does is there like an amount of money he needs to earn to make it work?

Thank you so much!

Not exactly sure how to say this but, if you & your partner can do it the right way, why take the low road? Why risk both of your future by doing something under the table. Do it right the first time.

 

Really there's no difference in the process whether you're straight or gay. I'm not sure what to suggest to you. Have a talk with your partner whether if you guys want to get married first then apply or you want to apply first then get married. 

Are you legally able to be married to a US citizen with your current citizenship status? 

Well I don't know if I'm able to get married.. I have a tourist visa so I don't know exactly. Is there a way to know. My boyfriend told me that they only need an ID and then apply for a license to get married and when they accepted it basically that's it. After that we just need to apply for AOS or something else that I have no idea. But seriously I have zero information and my friend told me about this forum. That's why I have so many questions. My friend also do it by herself no lawyer so I feel I can do it too. You have already helped me a lot answering my questions. 

Thank you all for the answers actually they make me feel so much better with all this situation. I have another question I hope you can also help me. Do I really need a K1 visa or CR-1 visa since I am already in the country? I mean the visa is literally to stay in here right or it's a must to get the visa before you get married?

A friend of mine, she is straight, told me that if she had known she would have just married when she was in the country so she wouldn't have gone thru the K1 visa. She said that would be easier I have no idea. Does anyone know if it's better for me married since I'm already here and just apply for an AOS? 

Thank you again for all your answers and all your help! 

Hi everyone! 

I have a question. Me and my boyfriend are thinking in getting married but we don't know anything about if the same laws applies for gay people or if it's different. Does anyone know if applies the same laws? and if it does what should we do or how can we start? 

I'm Mexican and he's American. He lives California. I am visiting right now him and I asked a friend about the marriage and everything so she gave me the url for this forum but I haven't seen anything about same sex marriage. My other question is if I am already here its better for me to ask for a AOS which I understood it's like a temporary green card or should I get out the country a try to apply a fiancée or spouse visa. I have no idea what to do or how I can start. Thank you so much for your help.
