This is why you should hire an experienced immigration lawyer to prepare and file a marriage-based green card case for you. It is not just a matter of filling in biographical information. There are a lot of complex forms that must be submitted along with an abundance of documents and evidence. If not submitted correctly the first time, you risk case rejection, an RFE, loss of fees and/or loss of time. Also, before filing it is important to determine if you are eligible for "adjustment of status." Good Luck!

There really isn't enough information to answer your question with any degree of certainty. You should consult with a qualified immigration attorney to assist you in this matter. This is not the type of case you should be doing alone. Best wishes

You should schedule a consultation with a competent immigration attorney. As one of my colleagues suggested, you need to make sure that you are in fact eligible for adjustment of status. Among other requirements, you must demonstrate that you were inspected and admitted OR paroled into the United States. If you entered the United States without inspection, were thereafter granted TPS and never thereafter departed and returned using an "advance parole" document, then, depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside in the United States, you may face hurdles convincing USCIS that you satisfy the "inspected and admitted or paroled" requirement. To my knowledge, 2 circuit courts of appeal have ruled that a grant of TPS counts as an inspection and admission for purposes of adjustment of status eligibility, but the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals (which includes Florida) has not yet ruled on that issue. Of course, if you did originally enter the U.S. lawfully, you may, but not necessarily, be eligible for adjustment. The bottom line is that you should schedule a consultation with a competent immigration attorney.
