F1 Student in us ready to marry a LPR

[andreean 0]

hello

I really need your advice. I am a student of F1 student ready to eter the workforce and graduate in exactly 1 year. My boyfriend and future husband is a permanent resident since february 2010 through the green card loterry. I am legal in US, with a student visa and I never did anything illegal here. I was wondering if I marry him now could i possible get a work permit? What documents could I get if I am already in US and I marry a permanent resident. Is it better to marry now or once he will become a citizen - in 4 years and a half

Thanks so much

marriage to an LPR does not change your current status or the restrictions attached to it or provide you any access to any "documents" immediately.... If your future spouse was a USC... then the answer could be different.... Your future LPR spouse could file a petition for as his spouse but you are 1.5 - 2 years away from any kind of "change"
