Do I need to leave US after I married to US citizen and my student visa expires?

Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
You wrote Question: Do I need to leave US after I married to US citizen and my student visa expires? RESPONSE: Generally you do not have to do that. If you filed for Adjustment when you were in the U.S. and "in" status you can stay in the U.S. while the I-130/AOS case is pending. YOU WROTE: Question Detail: I just got married with US citizen and I have F1 student visa. RESPONSE: Congrats on your recent nuptials. You wrote: After 20 days, I will be overstaying because I lost my scholarship. I can't go to school anymore. My visa will expire in 2016. Can I apply for green card? RESPONSE: If you were "in status" at the time you filed your AOS case then you can stay in the U.S. until the case is processed. YOU WROTE: I heard that the fee for the green card is $1500. Is that right? Can I stay in US while I am waiting for my green card? RESPONSE: You should check the website for the fees for the submissions you will be making. In general, folks who filed for the I-130 and I-485 when they are in-status can stay in the U.S. There are nuances to this however and it is recommended that you enlist a competent legal practitioner to guide you with regard to this matter.

My wife's H4 visa is in review stage; can she travel to India on her current L2 visa?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If the USCIS checks the records of the Customs and Borders Protection before granting your wife's application for change of status, it will reject the application as abandoned because the applicant left the U.S. If it happens, it would not interfere with your wife's ability to come back on her L2 (so long as you are still working for your L1 petitioner) and re-file the change of status application. If the approval of your H1 comes while she is in India, she should make an appointment at the U.S. Consulate and receive her H-4 there - because, technically, her L2 disappears the very same moment when your L1 is changed to H1.

Can I still petition my husband if he was already approved for Deferred Action?

Kevin L. Dixler
Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
This gets complicated, but the mother must request her immigration file. This can take time. It is unclear if all of the documents are available. There may be another way to find out additional information more quickly with your mother's consent. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before you do anything. The above is general information, not legal advice and does not create an attorney client relationship.
