Resident alien/non resident status

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
An individual who enters the US on an immigration visa is a permanent resident upon entry. The stamp on the passport given by CBP at the airport is the confirmation of resident status. Therefore, although I do not know tax law, I believe that you should be filling out “resident alien”  as you are a permanent resident regardless of whether you have yet to receive the physical card.

How long can my girlfriend stay with me until we marry during immigration?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
First she would need to get a visa to come to the U.S. If your intention is to marry within 90 days of entry you can apply for a fiance visa for her. After you marry then you would want to apply for a green card for her or she will lose her right to stay here legally. You must have at least one face-to-face meeting within the last 2 years to come as a fiance and you would need to be a U.S. citizen. Best to consult with an immigration attorney if you are not ready to get married on other options.

My husband filed for me in June 2019 and we only just realized that he got my names wrong. Would that affect our processing time?

Whether your husband filed for you under your maiden or married name should make no difference in the timing or the adjudication of the I-130 petition. Petitions are filed under married or unmarried names, and it generally makes no difference to an immigration officer.
