What is the name of your state? Texas
I would like to adjust the status of my wife's K-1 visa to that of permanent residence IN THE FUTURE. We are currently separated for about 4 1/2 months after getting married in September 2004 in the U.S., and she entered to the U.S. in 8/2004. We also have an infant son who is borned overseas but an American citizen (through me). Therefore, we missed the initial AOS interview in February 2005. Currently, her I-485 is pending, but I think that it will be denied because of a "no-show." I think that my wife and son will come back -because we love each other very much but both of us are so stubborn and full of pride, and that hurts us in our marriage. Do you think that I can help her to legalize her status here? What are the procedures? What are the forms to fill? By the way, I was out of the work force for the past 6 years when I was busy working for my Ph.D. and earned very little as a teaching assistant and a fellow at a Midwestern university. Will that effect my wife's immigration status? I am a long-time naturalized U.S. citizen since 1985.
