Let’s say you were to get married to a US citizen in a year and your current legal status is close to being over, can you start the process to getting a green card before you are actually married and gain legal status as the petition is pending or do you need to be married before starting the process?
I know that by marrying a citizen overstay is forgiven but it is still not ideal
