US Immigration from Australia

Where can I find an official listing of the rules about this?

Thanks!

To cut a long story short (try to cut short), I originally visited the US on an ESTA (I have visited US two times before on esta and stayed a few weeks each time) with the intent to marry my girlfriend and then travel back home to canada and file the CR1. Though due to unfortunate events and poor planning on my part, we were unable to. I was divorcing my ex at the time and the divorce was supposed to go through just before my arrival though ex dragged their feet and there were other processes that dragged it out. So when it came to the end of my 3week stay, i was still not divorced. I initially decided to stay longer since at the time i was being told by my divorce lawyer it was not going to take more time. still was looking good to be divorced and then remarried before my 90days were up. that did not happen. It was a further several months till i was actually dicorced, then there was a further wait till i could remarry. by the time I was able to marry my new wife (who i have known for almost 4 years at this point) I had passed the 90 days, Overstayed. I've been panicing and scared for a long time now. I'm australian, though i have canadian permanent residency, where i live, well...lived for almost 10years previous to this. I love my wife and i cant bare the thought of not seeing here if i have to leave and not return. I'm been trying my best to research this all myself but there is so much conflicting infomation on what i need or should do. I can prove i didnt intend to overstay and i can very much prove its a real marriage. So I going to do the AOS and pray. Apart from the i-130 and the i-485 what else should i fill out?

How long does it typically take for the National Visa Center (NVC) to schedule an interview with the Sydney consulate for an immigrant visa (CR1)?

Hello! My husband arrived in the US on Thursday on a CR1 visa. We selected "NO" on the DS-260 for the question "Do you want the Social Security Administration to issue a Social Security number and a card?". We went to the SSA office today but the person there said they won't issue a card even though we selected "No" because "immigration has been issuing them anyway and people have been getting 2 cards" and to wait 6 weeks.

After reading the forum and seeing folks getting different answers at different offices, my concern is that the person at the office is not correct about this. What's everyone's experience with this, it sounds like we should go to another office and try again?

Thanks

I've been in the US for over 90 days now and have not received my green card. I received my SSN after 2 weeks of being in the US. I spoke to USCIS this morning and they are advising me that i have to attend a biometrics appointment which was scheduled for me a week ago. Is this normal for CR1 visas to attend a biometrics appointment? Should i be worried? All my biometrics were taken in Sydney Australia and my fingerprints were taken at my immigrant visa interview.
