hi all (hi Ray)
i have a question that i need an advise on.
i have been married to US citizen for 1.5 year now and we got married outside USA (my wife was only born there and never visited)
i want to apply for green card but i am not in a hurry yet so i was thinking to apply only when i need to go there as i was thinking to go there on B visa then apply from there and do the adjustment of status. ( i know B visa is not an immigrant visa and i should do the normal 1-130 but just assuming that i did)
there is more than reason why i dont want to apply now which includes
-i am currently happy where i am and enjoy my current work.
i want to apply only if i lost my job or if i forced to leave (which is not an option if i kept waiting for I-130 approval as it will take up to 1 year.
so by applied from inside USA i will avoid waiting 1 year aslo i will be sure that i want to stay there while applying now i am not very sure.

the second reason i want to apply from usa is that my wife never lived there and it would be easier to prove domecil from there.
my questions will be the following
-if i went on B visa and i applied from there how long will it take to get my Green Card?

ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

-if i applied from there can i use my real authenticate marriage certificate or do i need to re-marry there to make it official. i mean will they accept it even the marriage happened outside usa.

PROOF OF YOUR MARRIAGE OUTSIDE THE U.S. WILL BE ACCEPTED WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR PETITION AND ADJUSTMENT PAPERWORK.

thank you both
from your experience on this did it every happen that someone was rejected because he was on B visa and did the AOS. i mean is that even an option. i mean i am already married to citizen it is not like i will be going there to get marry or something. because i was reading on other forums about the Visa fraud issue and i don't feel like i am doing that.
