What should I do if his passport is expired and as well as the visa?

Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
I have bad news for you: your son cannot adjust status in the U.S. He is not an "immediate relative" of a U.S. citizen, and he is not in a valid legal status in the U.S. When his priority date becomes current (in about 2 year, unless your family is from Mexico or Philippines), he will have to leave the U.S. and go through a consular processing in his country of citizenship. What is worse, your son is "unlawfully present" in the U.S. for over a year. When you filed an immigrant petition for him, it did not give him the right to stay in the U.S. Now, once he leaves the U.S., he will not be eligible to come back for 10 years. There are very limited options for your son, and he should seek a consultation with an immigration attorney as soon as possible.

How can I and my husband know if our AOS application was approved or denied?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
When the USCIS Atlanta Field Office is unable to make a final decision and adjudication at an adjustment of status interview, the amount of delay can vary enormously, and that is one reason why it is so important to assure that applications are properly prepared and fully documented from the very beginning. Even though an adjustment of status interview seems to have gone smoothly, there are many details that can cause an immigration officer to need more time: that could include such things as having to retrieve the government's "A-file" if it failed to have it at the time of the interview; a need to follow-up regarding security background checks; or many other issues. When the USCIS issues a decision, that information will be available online and the USCIS will mail a copy of the decision to the applicant (and to the applicant's attorney if he/she has one). [Note: This communication is intended as general information and not specific legal advice, and this communication does not create an attorney-client relationship.]
