Special / Different -married for2years already

[2cs2]

Hello,
We are a married couple for almost two years now but did not necessarily have to fill out the paper work (I-130 or I-485) since I am still in college.

Story in short:
I am student in the U.S. since Aug. 2003
I met my husband and we got married in Oct. 2005

We still haven’t filled out anything that would allow me to stay after my graduation.

I am here right now on my
F-1 visa, which will expire in 2008,
I have already a Social Security Card,
and an American Driver’s License.


What next steps do we have to go now?
Can we skip any since we are married for almost two years now?


We appreciate any input!!
S&C

Hey There.

I am a student as well and I came to the states on a F1 visa. My wife is a U.S citizen and we are almost married two years and just recently applied for my change of states.

If you are F1 student and married to a Citizen you still have to file Form I-130, I-485, I-765 the hole Change of status package.

I am sorry to say but you can’t skip anything. The plus is because you a married to a citizen you won’t have to wait for an immigration visa to come available for you. When they approve your I-485 one will be available. The only thing in your favor is the fact that you are almost married for two years. Because of that when they approve your I-485 they will give you your green card and not the conditional green card
