More details to this question:
We have been together for almost 2 years and he is on his last year of OPT. I am the petitioner and my parents don't approve of the union and his parents have passed away. I am currently in school and have a part time job. We both live in the same city but family disapproval has made it tough plus everything else. He is from Bangladesh and I want to marry my fiancé soon to start the green card process. What will be the outcome for our case? any similar cases? would really appreciate any advice.

If you are a US citizen and your fiancé entered the country legally, then after you marry him you can file to adjust his status to lawful permanent residency. If you do not live together after marriage that may be a problem when you apply. IF you aren’t working then you would need to have someone file as your joint financial sponsor. Lastly it makes no difference to the geeen card application if your parents disapprove of your marital decisions.
