If I were to get married and file AOS forms whilst on the vwp (in status), what is the usual procedure from there. I keep reading about a 3 year waiting period until I get a green card. Does this mean that its about 3 years until your visa interview and until you can work legally? That would mean living a life of limbo, until you are finally approved. Or does it happen straight away. If it happens straight away, then this gives you less time to show a life lived together i.e bank accounts, bills, holidays together, family parties etc. Apologies its all very confusing.

Nobody has a crystal ball and can predict your case -- not even with all the facts, which are currently missing. If you want a guesstimate and everything with your AOS case is hunky-dory, I'll say you'll be authorised to work within 90 days, and a green card holder within 6 months or so.

This is an excellent question for the immigration attorney you're going to have a consultation with before getting married and trying to AOS from VWP.

Can you post the links to where you are reading this (evidently it's posted in several places)?

maybe you should stick to your other thread and follow the suggested paths? K1/CR1?

Otherwise like mentioned before If you get a ban from the USA is he willing to leave everything and settle in the UK?

Rete

Many thousands of people do what he is suggesting and they have been successful. His intent at the POE and the advice of an immigration attorney is definitely in order for this couple.

He is also searching the web for info and appears to be pulling up information that is years out of date.

Once again to the OP, call for a consultation with an immigration attorney.
