If he has his I-94 card you should have no problem applying to adjust his status to permanent resident based on his marriage to a US citizen (I'm assuming you are a US citizen).  The tax ID number won't help.  I can represent you in filing all the necessary forms.  I charge $2,500 for that service, including attending your adjustment interview with you.  The filing fees for the forms you would have to file amount to an additional $1,490.  Let me know if you'd like my help with this case....

K-1 fiancées who enter the U.S. must marry their K-1 petitioners within 90 days of entry. Following that, they should file adjustment of status applications to U.S.C.I.S.'s Chicago lockbox. The address is: For U.S. Postal Service deliveries: USCIS P. O. Box 805887 Chicago, IL 60680-4120 For express mail and courier deliveries: USCIS Attn: FBAS 131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor Chicago, IL 60603-5517 The cost is $1,070 made out to "Department of Homeland Security". The affidavit of support form for a permanent residence application is not the I-134, but the I-864. Your wife would have to execute new G-325A biographic data sheets. Kindly note that the I-130 petition is not required where a K-1 was previously approved; neither is an entire new medical asked for - U.S.C.I.S. will use the medical taken for the K-1 overseas interview and only ask for the vaccination part to be filled since that was never part of the consular medical.

If you have or can obtain a visa to travel to the US, you could marry here in the US and then file to adjust status from here.  You cannot get married right away, however, because the presumption will be that you entered the US just to get married rather than on the terms of the visa you were issued.  The fiance visa is the best option....

First of all, do NOT lie about having worked in the United States. Disclose the employment on the G-325A. It does not make you ineligible for permanent residency. Having said that, you stated that you claimed "U.S. Citizenship" for your employment. If you have done so, you may be ineligible for permanent residency. Making false claims to U.S. Citizenship is a permanent bar. Some federal circuit courts, including the 10th circuit, where Oklahoma is, have made the determination that checking the "U.S. Citizen" box on the I-9, amounts to a false claim to U.S. Citizenship. However, you only say that, "I claimed to be a US citizen on the application to avoid submitting paperworks." Did you claim "U.S. Citizen" on the I-9 or eligibility to work in the U.S. on the employment application Most likely, the employer did not directly ask about citizenship on the employment application. I recommend consulting an experienced attorney familiar with USCIS locally where you live to determine the impact of what you claimed to your employers to determine whether you are eligible to apply for Permanent Residency....
