If I marry now, can I still change my status to H-4 since my spouse holds H1B visa?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
You may marry, of course, but your application for change of status will be denied: since your last legal status expired 5 months ago, you do not have a status that can be changed. I would advise you to leave the U.S. before the 180th day from the expiration of your F1 status. If you leave now, you might be able to come back on an H4 or another visa - if you convince the U.S. consul in your country that your overstay was excusable. However, if you accrue 180 days or more of overstay, you will be barred for 3 years from re-entering the U.S. on any visa; after 1 year of overstay, you will be barred for 10 years.

What can I do to fight the deportation order against me?

Speak to and hire an attorney to discuss your options. Two options may be withholding of removal or asylum. You are going to need an attorney to reopen your case and correctly file either.

Married to a us citizen, arrived in the US, my wife advised I cannot live with her and has threatened me with divorce. I just received my green card.

You can file for a replacement card by filling out an address change if you have not received it in the mail. If you have been married for more than two years at the time of the consular interview then it's likely you received the permanent card. If you received the temporary 2 year card then it's going to be challenging to remove the conditions to get the permanent card when it expires. Retain counsel for representation.
