Me and my girlfriend of 2 years are trying to figure out how the marriage process works!
I've came here before I was 15 on B-visa and stayed till today. Meanwhile, I've graduated from high school and now getting ready graduate from college at the end of this year. I would love to travel with my girlfriend as well as being a productive member of this society like my peers but I can't do anything given my status/situation. DREAM ACT which I met all the criteria for - was turned down by the congress. Fortunately, my girlfriend has recently asked me to marry her after understanding my situation as well as our future together.
So the process starts here but I have no clue:
As far as I know, we have to go to the court to get the marriage certification then send I-130 and I-485 along with other applications to USCIS. I've already applied through my mother who is a U.S. citizen and my I-130 got approved but it didn't work out with I-485 because I was aged out. I'm not sure if I have to send I-130 again or how this process would work out!
If you have expertise in this area, please help! Your help will forever be remembered, God Bless!!!
