Hi Visajourney people, I need help.

I came to the United States five month ago, with a tourist visa, and I over stayed here, and want to remain in the unit stats, two month ago, I fall in love with someone of the same sex.

Ps : it wasn’t planned and it wasn’t a visa fraud.

Now I’m thinking to Apply for an AOS,

Please tell me how it can take to have a first interview, and if I can work after applying for the AOS,

I know the duration vary from case to another, because each case is different, but I want an average estimation, and how long it can take it get the Green card

The guy with whom I’m in relation have a good income and have car and house, I believe he can sponsors me, please let me know how long it can take

Thank you

Hi! In order to adjust your status you need to be legally married to your partner. You need to check if the state you are living, allows same sex marriages. After that you need to submit the AoS package which include several forms, medical examinations, vaccines, an affidavit of support and a the fee of $1070. You will also need to proof you have a bonafide relationship (photos, joint taxes, joint bank accounts, things that proof you are together). Along with the AOS, your partner should also submitt a spouse petition (i130). Usually takes 5 to 11 months to get the green card

I forgot an important issue. Your partner MUST be an US citizen.

Agree with the above, except that the timeline for adjustment of status (for non-K1s) at the moment is more like 3-4 months.

Here is the guide to follow: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

It may not be essential to live in a state where same-sex marriage is legal, but the marriage must take place in such a state. Your profile suggests you live in California, where same-sex marriage is currently legal (hooray).

First you need to get married. There are no immigration benefits for just falling in love.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
