Yes, you may marry and file for AOS. The question really should be whether or not you will be successfull in adjusting status. I hope you have the funds to pay for a good attorney, you will likely need one. Talk to an attorney before filing.

Cheers!

Just wanted to put something in bold here. We do not know if the OP is currently outside or inside the USA.

It is illegal to use the VWP (or visitor's visa) to enter the USA with the intent to remain and adjust status.

So did you look at the IP before, or after?

I'll just say it a little louder so they can hear it from there.

Anything is possible. I still think JFK was killed by death rays from Mars. Do you want to know whether it's legal... or do you want to know whether you can get away with it?
