May I ask what is the advantage of consular processing in our situation? Is it to demonstrate that her intention is to leave the US at the end of her F1?

I meant getting married and filing the I-130 immediately. I am aware of the bulletin being stuck at July 2024 for filing… She was admitted on F1 for 12 months

Hello I am a US permanent resident, and my girlfriend recently moved to the US on an F1 visa to study English as a second language. We had initially met in the US, but we have been in a long distance relationship for almost 2 years since then. I proposed to her yesterday. Our base-case is getting married next year, but seriously considering getting married sooner so we can apply for AOS. I keep reading that it is better to wait 90 days since her last entry. However if we wait too long, there is a risk her F1 would expire before we could file for AOS. In which case we’d rather plan the wedding for next year (and accept we’d be separated for a while). Would F1 to study English as a second language + filing AOS within 90 days of entering the US raise all kind of red flags? Maybe we are just being paranoid about it…
