A: One issue to consider, if you entered illegally you may need an unlawful presence waiver. Other than this, your case seems fairly routine.

A: This is not a complex case, but like any other immigration matter, you really need to be represented by an attorney.
A:
Once you marry, your U.S. citizen spouse can file the FORM I-130 on your behalf.
The next step depends on your manner of entry into the U.S. :
(a) a lawful entry will allow you to file the FORM I-485 with USCIS;
(b) an entry without inspection will require that you process your case with the NVC and the U.S. consulate after obtaining an approval of the FORM I-601A from USCIS;
(c) if you are eligible for 245i then you can file the FORM I-485 notwithstanding an entry without inspection.
