Can we still file for the adjustment of status even if my visa has expired?

I suggest you consult with an experienced immigration attorney before you do anything. Filing a case that gets denied may result in you being placed into removal proceedings. While money may be an issue now, spending on a consultation may save you a lot more later on.

Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Brian D. Lerner
*Request for Marriage and Adjustment of Status Application* A marriage proposal and application for adjustment of status must be prepared and presented. Our firm can prepare and send this petition to the USCIS office that initially resolved such requests .. The work permit application is also presented and it usually takes several months to get cast. The last interview for the Green Card will be around one year after the filing of the petition. There are a myriad of different ways, exhibitions and information that needs to be completed. Any of these items, if done poorly, it could request denied or delayed indefinitely.

What is the path of least resistance toward entitlement to work for my spouse?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Generally speaking, persons holding H-4 status are not allowed to work. The exception is for those dependents whose spouses have had an I-140 preference petition approved or have applied for an extension past the standard six-year limit on H-1B visas (which can be given where the applicant has had a labor certification application pending for at least 365 days). If your wife is able to find a sponsoring employer for H-1B petitioning, it would have to either be a cap-exempt employer (Institute of higher education, nonprofit organization related to or affiliated with an institute of higher education, nonprofit research organization, or government research organization), or she would have to wait until an employer can sponsor her for H-1B under the H-1B visa lottery in April. If your wife is well known in her field, she may be able to have an employer apply for her under the O-1 extraordinary alien visa. She may have other options, but those would probably not fit your wish of the path of least resistance.  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.
