You must apply for adjustment of status within one year of the marriage. Otherwise, a form I-130 petition must be filed in addition to the adjustment for an additional filing fee. The process of finding for adjustment of status with all the forms and requirements could prove very complicated. For that reason, I strongly recommended an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney. Good luck.
