I'm venting, really...I understand that a great majority of applicants have much more difficult circumstances than we do...I think it's also a jab at the process, it is illogical in many ways....Nevertheless, it's a good to have a resource like this available to people.

Thank you but I do not need that, it does not apply in any way shape or form.
We're married so it's not something that 'may' happen in the future....Furthermore, she never came on a tourist visa, always F-1...Even on her F-1, she never entered with either the intent to immigrate or marry...She's been a full time student for 2 years and will be for another 2 years.

YES you do, it DOES apply to the two of you in EVERY shape and form.
She comes to the US with a non-immigrant visa (it does not matter if it is tourist, student, etc). And ONCE you two get married, she will go through Adjustment of Status... which is what that guide is for...
Unless you want to go through Consular Processing or a K-3 visa? your choice.
Hmph

The site you pointed me to specifically states 'Tourist Visa', not F-1...They are two different things....None of those stipulations mentioned an F-1 visa.
By the letter of what that pargaraph states, none of those apply to us, whether you type it in bold or not.
That warning is for fraudulent processes,which is not applicable to us, unless you're making an accusation in which case your tone and inferences would make far more sense (Not to mention your locale).
I've been to the USCIS offices and spoken to Immigration officers and not once has our situation been described as anything but straightforward...Either we should apply now for AOS and wait out the AP before traveling or waiting until we come back on the F-1 and she returns to her full time studies.
Fortunately, my experiences on this site have been largely positive with people trying to be helpful and not accusatory or pompous.

No accusations intended . The F-1 -> AOS process is the same as any tourist visa -> AOS process... Because it is a Non-Immigrant Visa holder Adjusting Status to Permanent Residency. That is what that guide is for.
you will have to file I-130/I-485/g-325a/I-864/I-765/I-131 and that guide tells you pretty much how to do so and what other documents and how to put it together.
I was just trying to help, you can take it or leave it

FC Barcelona fan: PreatorianIX is right about directing you to that link. Don't worry about the warning per se. It may not apply to you, BUT those forms you will have to use at a future date if you decide to file. So you might want to save it

Ohhhhhh there goes the NFC EAST rivalry hehehe.. Anyways I am a LIVERPOOL fan when we go back to soccer
I think Liverpool has more history than BArca. As for who has more history, cowboys or redskins? I think you will. Cowboys = America's football team hands down!
