Let's be completely honest here.   You were a visitor. The US graciously allowed you to visit without a visa.  I'm pretty sure you were aware that this was supposed to be only a visit.  I am also pretty sure you were aware that you were supposed to leave at the end of that visit.  You made the decision to remain and violate the conditions of VWP.  You made the decision to remain unlawfully inside the US for 15 years.  You made the decision to marry and involve others in this situation. This isn't the fault of a "broken immigration system".   This is a case of someone ignoring the lawful immigration system.  Are you aware that there are millions of people waiting their turn  outside the US to legally immigrate?  Some of these people have to wait years and years.

Please be aware that this does not mean you are allowed to work before/after marrying your USC girlfriend. Strongly advised to stop working now until you receive EAD or GC. Please be honest when you are filling out any immigration forms, especially I-485 Part 8 Items 16 and 17. Unauthorized work will be forgiven, but lying to the government won’t be. Good luck!

At their AOS interview, a picky USCIS officer will ask them why her last entry on F1 was after their marraige. It is unlikely to happen. But, prepare for it.

Did your wife go to her home country to obtain her birth certificate for I-485 and come back to the US on F-1? If so, she cannot do AOS (although the USCIS might not be able to prove that she had "immigrant intent" at the POE). It doesn't matter how long she has been in the US after re-entry.

If your interview is successful, you will be approved right away and get an i-551 stamp on your passport (or approved within the next few days). If your AOS case is approved before your 2 year marriage anniversary, you'll get a 2-year green card. If after, you'll get a 10-year green card.

You should be fine. Your entry to the US is no longer a privilege given by the US government. It’s your right.
 
To check in on an airline at a UK airport, present your UK and US passports. The airline needs to see your US passport to let you board on a flight to the US without ESTA, visa or green card. To the UK immigration (exit control), present your UK passport.
You'll need to show your boarding pass with your passport at the boarding gate. Either US or UK passport (or both) would work.
 
For the US immigration, always present your US passport. You don't need show your UK passport to the CBP.
 

Excepting government/security clearance jobs, even it is illegal to ask whether or not you are a US citizen before making an offer.
I guess asking LPR category (class of admission) is not allowed.

You can obtain a Certificate of Acceptance of Marriage Report (konintodoke jyuri shomeisho) at your local city/ward office.
 
Living at the same address doesn't necessarily prove a bona fide marriage, but you may also submit photocopies of:
Resident card (zairyu card)
My number card (kojinbango card)
Basic resident registry card (jyumin kihondaicho card)
Driver's license (unten menkyosho)
Health insurance card (kenko hokensho)
Notice of local tax payment (chihozei kettei tsuchisho)
Utility bills (electricity, gas, water, phone, NHK, etc)
 

You become eligible to file N-400 on November 24 (= "Resident Since" date on your green card plus 3 years minus 90 days). However, it is advised not to do so on that day. Wait a couple of days, and then submit.

Could you please clarify the followings?
0. When did they got married? Before coming to the US? After the OP got his green card in the US?
1. Did the OP apply for EB based green card (most likely EB3 schedule A)? If so, when?
2. When the OP filed his I-485, did his wife also file her I-485 as a dependent (spouse) of the OP (primary applicant). If not, why?
3. When did the OP get his green card?
4. Why the OP's wife didn't receive her GC when the OP got his GC? and why did she continue working on EAD?

Even before I-485 approval, she may change employer or job as long as her new job is in the same or similar occupational classification.
Please Google "American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act" "AC21" or "I-140 Portability"
 
Changing the jobs or employers after getting GC is completely fine. The hospital may request reimbursement of expenses (attorney fee and I-140/I-485/medical exam fees) for her GC. However, it is a matter between her and the hospital. It's not USCIS' business.
 
Her GC was granted for her professional skill (especially Schedule A workers: nurses and physical therapists). Continuing the same or similar job would be appreciated, but not be required, I think.
 

Yes, it is really frustrating to receive email saying "We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time" in the early Saturday morning every 2 weeks. I guess a problem is that the USCIS is operated ~99% by fees (not tax money) and most of taxpayers, US citizens and lawmakers don’t care what the USCIS is doing. Majority of the US citizens don’t marry a foreigner, they don’t make a petition for green card of their parents, children, or brothers/sisters. One-year waiting is much shorter than my I-140/I-485 (1.5 yr, EB2 for me) and I-130 (4 yr, F2A for my wife) cases. Should I be patient a little longer?  (T_T)
