oh I am so confused!

I am in the USA on a B1 visa, which was approved in november 2009. I am here, living with my fiance (US citizen). I came out on a B1 visa at the time, my fiance and I were still dating... it has been only recently that he proposed.

We are getting married in 1 months time, and i would like to apply for a work permit -- will it be approved on the basis of my marriage?

i have looked at the timelines, however i am unable to find a timeline that would be specific for my situation -- b1 visa holder, married to an american.

is there a possibility that my work permit will be denied because I am here on a b1 visa???

Your Spouse would file an I-130 petition for you and concurrently, you would apply for permanent resident status, work authorization and advance parole. Based on the circumstances you describe, I see no road blocks.

Start by studying the Adjustment of Status Guide and then post remaining question in the AOS forum. This is not a K1 issue.

I doubt that you have a "B1" as I've never heard of a B1 being issued alone. Perhaps you have a B1/B2?

In any case, after you have become an immediate relative of a USC (through marriage), you can file the I-130, I-485, and I-765 concurrently. The last form is the work permit, and its fees are included in the AOS fees. Oftentimes, it's not processed before the GC is issued.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
