More details to this question:
I am a Jamaican and I live in Jamaica. And can I apply for a change of status right after we get married and live with him while the filing process is pending? I love him and wanna be with him so much! I can't wait years after marriage to be by his side. Also can I work while on the change of status?

It depends on whether he will petition for you as his wife after you are married or if he petitions for you as his fiance so that you can enter the US as a fiance and get married in the US. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

A USA citizen can file the same day he gets married for his intending immigrant spouse. There is no waiting period.
