Hello, I need your advices, please read my current situation:
Me and my girlfriend decided to get married after a four year relationship.
I entered the United States under ESTA and now we are waiting to get the approved marriage license back.
Now we are discussing two options and need your experiences:
Option A:
Submission of I-130 now, then return to home and do the rest of paperwork by consular processing.
Option B:
Submit I-130 and I-485 together in addition with travel permit and work permit.
Issue: Wedding license might get back by mail after my 90 day stay.
Questions:
1.) If we proceed by option A, I think we do it the more official way but it probably will take longer?
2.) In option A can I go and visit my wife on a ESTA visa? If not, are there alternatives? Generally how are my travel options during application processing?
3.) In option B I feel I am staying in the US without occupation which is stressful. How do you deal with that?
4.) Is a possible overstay from the 90 day period a real issue or not?
5.) After receiving the Green card I must stay in the US? Or how in general are the possibilities to be in and outside the country? Is there a minimum amount of time I need to stay inside or outside the country?
THX in advance
