Hi,
I came to the US under an F1 visa, I met my wife and started a relationship 2 years ago. After 18 months, we decided to move together and 3 months we got married We have 6 months living together but my OPT time is almost done and we are confused about what to do. We filled in the I130 form and don't know what is the best path considering we don't have a lot of evidence. We do have bank statements, life insurance from my work, the health insurance will start in January, we share car insurance, cell phone bill, my driver license has her address. We don't have a lease agreement or mortgage because she already has a house and cars. The utilities are under her name and we think it is not necessary to change them just because I moved there.
Our wedding ceremony was very simple, only two witnesses my best friend and her best friend, but 3 months later we had a big party (I paid for it, have the bills) and invited my father (I paid for air tickets), my friends and her friends. Her son and daughters are not very happy with our marriage because she is older than me, 20 years more, they think I am behind her money...but that's another story.
We are really happy together and we don't want to be away from each other, however considering I'm gonna be out of status in one month, my EAD and driver license expires in January and I don't want to be here as an illegal alien, without driving or working. Additionally, I feel we don't have the evidence most of the people have (I have read most of the threads here) considering I work out of home and when I am at home we don't do anything special, we always go to the karaoke on Thursdays and some Sundays. I do have proof I work traveling from Monday to Thursday.
My question is, in my case what's my best option... Staying in the US or leave and wait for my GC in my country?
