Can my soon to be husband file a petition for me if we are getting married on August and he is 18 years old?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Although not completely clear from your question, I presume that your soon-to-be husband is a U.S. citizen and you already are in the U.S. If that is true, then generally he will be able to sponsor you for the adjustment of status application process so that you may become a Lawful Permanent Resident (get a "Green Card") if you entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection. This is true regardless of whether you may have overstayed your visa and even if you may have worked without employment authorization. There really is no substitute for you and your fiance to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about each of you, would be able to advise about immigration-related eligibilities, options and strategies, and would be able to offer legal representation.

Can my wife stay beyond her visa expiration without jeopardizing her approval of our I-130 petition?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
As the spouse of a US citizen, your wife is eligible to apply for permanent residency while in the United States even though she entered the US without a visa, because there is an exception for immediate relatives of US citizens. The process is called adjustment of status and the application is filed on form I-485. As long as you are able to convince USCIS that she did not have the intention to remain in the US when she entered under the visa waiver program, her application should be processed without any complications. You should submit a copy of her round trip airfare to prove that she had the intention to return to Australia to wait for the processing of the I-130 petition. If you are unsuccessful in that regard, USCIS will likely require her to file a waiver on form I-601.

Should we get married in another country and then apply for a visa?

Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
It depends on the exact facts of his entry, and any immigration filings done for him or his parents before April 30, 2001. If he is not eligible to adjust his status in the US, then you should marry here and then file the I-130 relative petition, then he will need to go to his home consulate to apply for the immigrant visa and the waiver. Be sure to consult with an experienced immigration attorney to assess his eligibility for the waiver.
