Can someone please explain the steps I must take now to get my wife's status changed. We married in Jan 2010. She arrived in November 2009. We have not done any paperwork since then. I am assuming first we need to apply for AOS now, but she needs to redo all her medical and be current on all immunizations? Can someone please help me figure all this out? It would really be appreciated. thanks!

I answered your PM, but I'm going to repeat my advice here for others.

I recommend you wait a few more months, until after your second wedding anniversary. After that, file an I-130 with your AOS application. You'll get to skip the conditional green card and get a 10 year green card, and you won't need to remove conditions in two more years. If you just submit the AOS application (which you CAN do) based on the previous I-129F petition then you'll get a conditional green card, and you'll have to file to remove conditions in another two years.

The process is described here:

Excellent advice, as usual!

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.
