Actually, as long as you enter the country legally and marry before your tourist visa expires(otherwise there's some very hefty fines attached to your application costs), you will have no problems getting your green card. A K-1 fiance visa is another way, but you still have to complete the same application (petition to adjust status) and wait the same amount of time. The one nice thing is that while your application is in process, you are granted permission to work. You will not be allowed to leave the US while the application is in process, however, without the permission of the INS (emergency only!!). If you do leave, you application is null/void and you have to start over again. You will have to go through an interview process to prove the validity of your marriage, so make sure it's for real. New security measures since 9-11 make the whole process more difficult and very time consuming. It can take 1-2 years to complete. Best of luck!

retired is correct. A fiancee visa is the quickest way to get immigration status. It's actually pretty simple and quick (just a few months, assuming your relationship is genuine). Contact an immigration attorney who has experience with this type of application.

Since you are British you should have no problem. Simply marry the girl and apply for this stuff.

after you got married you need to go back to your home country and wait for your k3 visa(ur us spouse must file the petition).
around some month you get ur k3 visa that allows you to enter the us legally. then also some month later you get the gc with conditions .
you can work with the k3 if you applied for a work permission aswell ...if not you have to wait till u get ur gc.

I married my English wife 25 years ago, all she had to get was a Non Resident Alien Card (green card) via the American Embassy. A green card has been ok for the past 25 years. You will need to apply for a Social Security Number if you plan to get a job in the US once you get your green card, your girlfriend could help you this, you just have to go to the Social Security Office where you will be living.
