I am a Canadian citizen..my husband and I were married on October 18th 2003.. Following the wedding, on the 21st of October.. i came into the US as a visitor.. with my maiden name.. wanting to file once we got down here.. I am still in the US and our marriage license has now arrived. Previously I was under the impression that I could file for lawful perm resident status from here.. however I have found a couple things where I have gotten confused and am now worried that when we file, I will have to go back to Canada.. Can anyone help me out to be more clear on this?
