Adjustment of Status after filing I-130

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Under the F-2B category for permanent residents filing for unmarried adult children, the visa bulletin for February 2020 shows that except for persons from Mexico and the Philippines who must wait longer, the visa availability date on the final action dates chart is 8/22/14, and on the dates of filing chart 4/22/15. An adjustment of status application can only be filed when the visa availability date is reached and exceeded by at least one day. U.S.C.I.S. decides whether it will honor the final action dates chart or dates of filing chart for any month although it will allow adjustment filings where the final action date is available even if it is honoring the dates of filing chart for the month. Assuming that there is visa availability (USCIS is using the dates of filing chart for February and you filed for your daughter on 4/21/15 or earlier) and the I-130 petition is not yet approved, your daughter can apply for her I- 485 application to adjust status to permanent residence and also request employment permission on form I-765.

How to transition from f1 to h1 applied by different employers

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Although not a perfect solution and perhaps one that employer B or even you may not be in favor of, you could reduce your uncertainty by either you or the company paying for premium processing of the H-1B with U.S.C.I.S. through filing form I-907 Request for Premium Processing Service. The additional charge is $1225 and U.S.C.I.S. promises to reach your case within 15 days. Kindly note that it does not promise to approve your case, but if the case is solid, the good chances are that it will be approved within that timeline.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

How can my husband become legal with out leaving the country?

Eric M. Mark
Answered by attorney Eric M. Mark
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Eric M. Mark
This depends on his immigration status (valid visa? visa overstay? entered illegally?) as well as your status (citizen or permanent resident). This is clearly an important matter for your family and you need to consult with an attorney.
