I fell out of F-1 status almost two years ago and have been in the country since.
My boyfriend, who is a US citizen, and I are considering marriage.
To my knowledge, I have never been in removal proceedings or deported in absentia. However, considering that one is notified of this by mail and I have moved several times in the past few years, it is possible I could have missed such a notification.
Is there any way to find out whether I have ever been sent a Notice To Appear and/or been deported in absentia? I do not have an A# but do have a SSN#.
I know that adjustment of status may not be possible after marriage if it turns out that I am now or was at some point in removal proceedings. I'd like to avoid that.
If there is no way to find out, do I just file the I-130 and I-485 after marriage and hope that no nasty surprises turn up?
Thank you very much.

You (or your attorney) could contact the Immigration Court(s) with jurisdiction over your place(s) of residence to see if your name appears in their database(s).
