You will be adjusting status based on marriage to a US citizen NOT a K-3 visa. You will be abandining the current I-130 that is at NVC and your US Citizen spouse will be filing a new I-130.

Moving this to AOS forum.

NO

Do NOT leave the USA, doing so even with an AP document. The POE can prevent you from re-entering the USA even with an AP doc, so save yourself and dont bother fileing I-131 with the AOS package.

If you leave the USA you will be doing a spousal visa and WILL need to file for a waiver of the overstay bar.

You are lawfully in the USA waiting for your visa origional visa.

What Is a V Visa?

The LIFE Act allows spouses and children of lawful permanent residents (LPR) to come to the United States on V nonimmigrant visas. The purpose of this act is to reunite families who have been or could be separated during the process of immigrating to the United States. With V visas, family members can wait in the United States for the immigrant visa process to be completed.

Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) petitioner MUST have filed the I-130 immigrant visa petition on or before December 21, 2000;

Your parent must have filed the I-130 Before Dec 2000.

Follow the guide above and apply to adjust status based on marriage.

just to make sure i understand my fiance should petition for me by doing the i130 now or after we get married? then i should petition for a i129 or what do you suggest, keep in mind that my v visa expired in 2004 i read somewhere that if i applied to adjust my status here it would be illegal.I also read that after i had turned 21 with the v2 visa i had to leave the US but i am still in the united states and i am 26.
