Default On my j1 visa and getting married to us citizen

Hi,
I am on my J1 visa and my contract will expire by december and I am getting married to a US citizen this coming august 28. And I want help because we are filling for my greencard but we don't have money to get a lawyer. I hope someone will help us here it would be a nice wedding gift for us.

Research "Adjustment of Status" or AOS. Go to www.uscis.gov and look at the forms and instructions for:

I-130
I-130A
I-485
I-864
I-765
I-131

You will also need a full medical exam done by an approved USCIS civil surgeon.

Do you have a 2-year home residency requirement on your J-1?

hi Rene,

Thank you so much. My DS-2019 says that I am not required to a 2 year bond
