Thank you for your help. It is much appreciated. |
As you've now identified yourself as a US citizen, the answer is pretty straight forward.
Your BF can go back to his international students office at school for some help with this.
You can go to uscis.gov and select from the drop down menus on the left. The one thing they don't make crystal clear there is that you will file ALL of the paperwork together in one packet (called concurrent filing or Adjustment of Status/AOS). YOU have a petition to file, HE has an application to file. There are numerous attachments to each, and attention to detail is as important as if your lives depend on it.
Budget about $2000 and expect about 6 months to the interview for the green card (both of you).
Don't be shy about seeking professional help if you're not detail oriented people.
