We are so HAPPY!!!!! We did it, yesterday we went and got married. My "Husband" Chad is an Australian citizen and is here on a visa waiver. We're not really sure what is the next step. We want to file for a change of status and start the process immediately. His visa waiver is until September 7th. Please is anyone could direct us in the right direction. Some family and friends have suggested that we retain an attorney. Should we try and do that? Is that the best thing to do?

Congrats on your marriage and good luck on your immigration journey!!!! :thumbs:

Thank you so much. :)

HI wow another aussie here in the USA, we are going to take over soon lol hahahaha just joking, im not totally sure because i did the k1 visa, but seein he is here on VWP i think he will need to go back to OZ and you caqn start the k3 visa, its a longer wait than what the k1 would have been but at least it will be legal. all the forms and things that you will need are here on this website, you just need to go look under the guides section and it tells you evrything you need, not to mention just ask on here if you get lost or confused. good luck on your journey hope it all goes well for you
