Legally get married and let it remain between you and your spouse.

I assumed you wanted to apply GC for your spouse as well. Not clear, why you want to delay it.

I have a similar predicament but the good news is that I do have a girl! I started a similar thread recently which might be helpful. From what I know (which might easily be wrong!), I believe you would need to include the spousal information while filing out I-485, which would you fill out 5-8 months after you initiate the GC process. Provided you find a girl in time, first get married (court marriage here would suffice) and then file for I-485 with your spouse included .......you should be all set (unless H.R. 3012 becomes a law and we're all phucked palai pilo by our northern and southern neighbors!!). Having said that though, I would recommend discussing your plans with your lawyer before initiating the GC process. Hope it helps. Jai Nepal!

Guy_tensed, My sweet lord is correct ! I am going through the similar scenario right now and here are the things u can do: (1) first of all prevailing wage determination can take about 1 month (2) recruitment process will take anywhere between 30-60 days (3) Labor certification will take anywhere between 90-180 days and sometimes even more. (4) even if the labor certification is approved you have another 6 months to file your I140 which will give you around 8-10 months before you can file your I-485 that's where u need ur spouses info. Get married in that 8-10 months time frame and u r all set. If the Hr 3012 passes and becomes the law then I don't have to worry about it right now , it will take sometime before u can file i485 But sometimes u get lucky and your labor certification might get approved in 3 months so you have to plan accordingly.
