What should I do to maintain my f1 status on my visa?

Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
Your post is confusing. What did you file after you married your H-1B husband? It should have been and I-539 to change non immigrant visa status to the H-4 dependent visa classification. There is a form I-485, but that is for filing for permanent residence, which, under your facts, you do not qualify for. Confirm what you filed. You should maintain your current F-1 status until the H-4 change of status is approved.

How long would it take my mother to become a permanent resident? How long before my sister receives her green card?

Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Your mom and younger sister are in different categories and their cases are treated differently by immigration. Your mom is considered an "immediate relative" and will receive her green card in approximately 1 year after you submit the I-130 petition. Whereas, your sister falls within preference categories and must wait for the availability of a visa number or her priority date to become current before she can apply for her green card.

When can I apply for visa to the USA if I overstayed 10 months?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Additional information, such as the type of visa that you overstayed, is needed in order to assess eligibilities, options and strategies. In general, an adult who overstays his/her visa for more than 180 days but less than a year will be subject to a 3-year bar to re-entering the U.S. (and an overstay of a year or more will result in a very harsh 10-year bar). There are some exceptions and waivers that could apply to these rules under some circumstances, and there is no substitution for a careful analysis by an immigration lawyer.
