I strongly urge you to study the AOS process before your fiance arrives......Then you can marry and apply for adjustment of status BEFORE the expiration of the I-94 (90 days after arrival).

Shotta, congrats! As I'm almost in the same situation as you (my Fiance is coming over in a few days), I'd recommend what missliemen and Roel mentioned.. also do look into the SSN process here as well.

Unless you just wanted your SO to come to the US, marry you, and go back...?

You'll end up filing i-485, i-131, i-765 and the i-864 all together after your marriage. It's the adjustment of status. Make sure you file within 90 days of arrival to avoid any trouble.

 

Technically the non-USC (beneficiary) fills out i-485, i-131 and i-765, while you fill out i-864.
