An immigration visa is immediately available for you.

If the spouse is an american citizen or permanent resident, then you can apply immediately. However, one thing I am aware of to consider is; if the marriage is less than two years you'll be given a conditional green card after which you'll have to apply for removal of the condition when it gets close to expiration. If I recall correctly it'll be within 90 days prior to the expiration date. Maybe someone else can elaborate as to what it means having a conditional green card, or a web search can reveal good information.

(can't post links yet) type this into google "conditional green card" then click on first link.

"You must use Form I-751 if you became a conditional resident through marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident." <--- from USCIS website.

If you entered in C or D status you are ineligible to file an I-485.
