First and foremost I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to read and or respond to this.

I am a Canadian citizen, I have been working in the US on a TN visa for the past 6 years. I recently went to renew and was denied because I was missing some paperwork which I had never seen as a requirement or been asked for, regardless. I asked for visitor visa to come back and pack up my apt/figure out what to do. The border agent gave me a 14 day visa.

I have a Girlfriend in the US, we have been dating for 4 years living together for the last 2. When I entered the US on my visitors visa I had nod idea what I was going to do and was extremely stressed out about the situation. Once I returned my girlfriend and I were discussing options and one of the ones that came up was marriage. Neither of us had planned on it, not that we didn't see a future together but it hadn't been discussed.

If we go down to the courthouse get married and file AOS. Will I be reprimanded for falsely entering the country on my visa.

My concern is it looks bad. Does anyone have any experience with this.

The AOS would only apply on your marrage if you had a I130 allready pending. You can not have a I130 pending until after the marrage.

If you love her, marry her. And file the I130. But you can expect that it will not be a quick fix to your problem.

Once we have our marriage certificate we file the I-130 correct. Then I can apply for a AOS with the I-485 correct?

Your I130 has to be @ approved status before a AOS can be filed.

Not necessarily true... You can file an I-130 and I-485 concurrently it depends on what your facts and circumstances are....

YMMV

Ok my bad,

It was my understanding that the I130 had to be approved before hand.
