Hi,
I entered the US on a B1/B2 visa for a year to volunteer for a non-profit organisation. Whilst volunteering for the organisation I met my boyfriend who is a US citizen and was also volunteering for the same organisation. We have been together for 6 months now, and my visa is up in 5 months. We are thinking about getting married. We hadn't met each other before I came to the US. I still rent a house back in the UK and have some ties to England. I am living off some of my own savings at the moment. He is a bit older than me (+12 years) but I don't think we are an 'odd couple'.
If we get married in the US and then we apply for a Green Card how long will it take to go through? How long will it take until I can work? Will I be able to stay in the US with him after my B1 Visa expires in April 2015? Is this legal?
