ams09 do you still want a reply to your thread?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon Having read a good handful of threads, I have a feeling I know what the answer is going to be but am hoping the regulars on this forum will confirm or set me on a new direction. Apologies that this is a second-hand post, too. I've been...

Then dig deeper! A SS# is likely requested for the marriage license, but probably not required. If you can't find the info on your county's website, call them. She does not have an SS# and she is not yet eligible for one. And yet, people without them get married in the US all the time.

US citizens do not apply for visas. If you apply for a visa, you will be banned from the US for 10 years for your overstay. Why make this complicated? Read the info at the link provided.

I can see why someone as old and crusty as IAAL gets that way... You knowingly broke the laws of this country, which is kind enough to offer one legitimate way out of your difficulty. But you don't 'waaaaana' take that gracious offer, you still want to bend it to your lifestyle. And to top it...

Don't get sidetracked by this other blah blah. Go to the forum I linked already and you'll see that Mexico is the easiest place in the world to get this handled. You do not have to be separated the entire time; I believe you can marry & file the I-130 stateside and once you get the notice of its...

How did she re-enter if her visa was taken away? The only possible reason a lawyer (or anyone) would tell you that she MUST leave the country is if she Entered Without Inspection and snuck across the border. If that's what she did, she CAN NOT adjust status and MUST leave the US. Visit the I-601...

You have 2 routes to Permenent Residency via your K-3 entry: 1) File immediately for AOS/Adjustment of Status. Wait however long your local office is taking to process such cases (up to 3 years). 2) Wait for your I-130 to approve and work its way through the NVC. From there, your case is sent...

A Green Card/Permanent Resident status replaces the H-1B (which is limited to 7 years in the US). It is permanent permission to live/work in the US, but is not the same as citizenship. He would not be eligible for a US passport, for example. While there would be nothing stopping him from moving...

What reason is given for the denial?

You do not need a visa; you are already in the US. How Do I Become a Lawful Permanent Resident While in the United States? http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/legpermres.htm Have about $1000 ready in fees.

He does not need a new visa; he may Adjust Status to Permanent Resident (Green Card) based on marriage to you. http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/legpermres.htm He should apply as soon as possible. As long as he abides by the terms of his H1B, he can stay here on that status. When the H-1B...

Your immigration status has nothing to do with your ability to get married.

What dalsh said. If the USC can travel to Australia, all the paperwork can be filed and completed in one day. You must marry first, and have all your medical, police check etc gathered. There is the extra travel expense, but there are no AOS fees if you follow this Immigrant Visa path.

CWOP = Cancelled Without Predjudice, which is applicable in her case as the K-1 is a single-entry visa and she used that entry. The documentation mentioined in the 2nd letter is normal for an AOS interview. Your job (the 2 of you) is to make sure that you present a case of a bonafide marriage...
