@Donna A : i see your point , maybe that's what it seems like but it's not like that, I know what you mean. maybe it will be a problem, maybe it won't. the thing is I will be with this girl for a long time, I hope forever, who knows what the immigration officer will say.

@Kathryn41 : Thank you for the detailed info, you told me exactly what i need to do, i will talk to her and we will start filling the documents. one thing i don't really understand is, when i fill out i-130,i-485 and i-678 and send them , can they just reject my application, without an interview ? or that's when we will have our first interview, when i apply for the legal right to work here ? this is important for me because I don't want to be illegal in the US not one minute. I'm asking around here because she doesn't know too much about all these legal technicalities.

Hello everybody. I read a lot about AOS, but it's so much information, i could not filter everything. Long story short, I'm in the US with an H2B visa, that visa gives me the right to work for my sponsor, which is an employer from NJ, that's where I'm working now. the thing is the visa expires on the 1st of November (as well as my work contract) and I should go back home in Romania, but i met a girl a month ago, we really like each other and she said the only way we can still be together is if we get married. I have nothing against that, I like her a lot too, but what i don't know is this : if we get married in September, as far as I know the green card interview will be 1 year or so after we get married, BUT will I still be able to remain legally in the US until then and even work ? or do i have to go home in November ? if anybody is curious, NO , this is not a convenience marriage. I am not worried about the interview, I am only worried about what will happen from November.

Thank you,

Tony
