What are the steps we need to take to make me legal? We met after I was here for a year and are now married. There are so many forms we are not sure where to start.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, first this topic will be moved to the Adjustment of Status forum since I assume you do not want to go home.

Second, :guides:

If you click on the blue tab at the top that says "GUIDES" and then look in the bottom right hand corner it says "Adjustment from other types of Visas." This discusses the J-1. Make sure you REALLY do not have the residency requirement. If you do not, then start with the Adjustment of Status guide.

Only YOU know the circumstances of your case so please make sure you read everything carefully.

Nothing I say is legal advice. I recommend you consult a qualified immigration attorney for any questions you may have.

Thanks I'll check the AOS section.
