I met the man of my dreams on here :) YAY US... but he's american and I'm canadian...
He proposed this past weekend while I was down for a visit. Now we're trying to figure out this whole immigration/green card stuff. Anyone gone through this recently that can help us out? We're totally lost! And all we want is to be together as soon as possible and not have to wrry about me getting deported back to Canada.

Hi there..
I just happened to see your thread and thought I'd comment.
I moved from Ireland to the US 2 years ago; actually, I dont live very far from you - Im in Upper NY State on the St. Lawrence!
This is the official US Immigration website, and will guide you through the process.
Even if you marry, there is no guarantees. You still need a sponsor, who will sponsor you for around 2 years financially, irrespective of your own financial situation. Being married is no guarantee of a Green Card - that is a myth.
I was lucky; I have experience in law and therefore provided a very comprehensive application and it was done and dusted in a few months. Thats rarely the case, however.
You need medical histories, affidavits testifying to the legality of your relationship, and various other things.
If I can be of any help, please dont hesitate to get in touch.
