Islamorada, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Generally speaking, applying for a motion to reconsider or to reopen and immigration decision does not give you legal status. Unless you have some other underlying legal status, you would be considered illegal even during the time of filing a motion. If comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) passes, the final outcome of the legislation will determine whether you and your wife are benefited. I note that you and your wife legally entered the US in November 2011 and so have only recently fallen out of status. The question will be what cutoff date for becoming illegal will be stated if and when CIR passes for the undocumented to gain benefits.

more facts are needed...your priority date must be current in order to adjust status through marriage to a Lawful Permanent Resident. Also consider working with an attorney because starting February 24th, the affidavit of support requirements will be severely tougher to meet. Good luck.
