If your boyfriend is an American Citizen this is what you need to do. You do NOT need an attorney. Follow these directions exactly.

1. Get married BEFORE the tourist visa expires.

2. Have your husband file the following forms with the US Citizenship and Immigration Service all at the SAME time...

I-130 (petition for alien family member)
I-485 (application to change status)
I-134 (affidavit of support)
I-765 (application for work permit)
G-325 (bio history)

You will find the forms and their instructions here...

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

The total fees will be $1,705.

You will be allowed to stay in the United States while the applications are being processed. You'll get your work permit in a few months. You'll get your Green Card in about a year.

If your boyfriend is NOT an American citizen you CANNOT do this. You will have to leave the United States if he only has a Green Card.

You should get a Fiancee Visa from the US Embassy. Any other type will land you back where you are with an uphill fight to get back into the US!

Don't marry him there!

There is nothing stopping you from marrying here and once married what are your parents going to do?

The easiest route is a fiancees Visa and if you are an adult you don't need their permission!
