My wife is a LPR in the US and I’m on visitor’s visa, planning to go to the US so we can file my I-130. I want to stay during the process until we file for I-485, how long my visa stay should be for to get it done? How long does it takes to get approved after the I-130 petition is filed and do you have to wait until it’s approved to file I-485?
hey thanks for this information. but i got a question. i am US permanent resident, and planing to get married to my my fiance, presently sturdying in france, which means she got student visa. she is africa. i want to know how to go about it. should i get married to her in the united state or out of the US.
I have a question I’m a green card holder of 1 year me n my husband would like to file for his spousal green card he’s living in the Caribbean, how long would it take ? Or do you think it will get denied
If the spouse of the Green Card holder comes to you a few days before their status ends, is there anything besides "get on the next flight out" that you could tell them?
Actually, at the moment and for August the F2A (spouse of permanent resident) category is "current" and therefore spouses of permanent residents can apply for adjustment of status so long as the immigrant spouse is in a valid status.

Thank you Darian for this informative video. If I marry a permanent resident, will it affect my sister’s petition to me, as I am already documentary qualified? Thank you for your response.
Question here that I think is relevant to a lot people. I was able to file an I-130 and I-485 for my spouse concurrently in August. He might go out of his student visa status, but since we already filed an I-485 then it is fine even if he goes out of status by the time the petition is approved? I’m an LPR.
Your spouses status changed from student to "adjustment of status pending" when he filed the I-485, and his status will remain lawful so long as the I-485 is pending.
Very helpful. I consulted so many lawyers and a lot of them said to me you OUGHT to maintain status up until day your GC becomes approved. So confusing! @@DarianLaw
If someone is outside US and the spouse becomes citizen, will the spouse leaving outside be denied entry to US because now the spouse is citizen? Even if the spouse outside has already entered while I130 is still pending?
@@DarianLaw For ex, I went to US and they let me in, if my husband becomes citizen before the priority date to be current, and I want travel to US again, will they deny me entry to USA because now my husband is citizen? He is not citizen yet, but it is very important to know the answer. Thank you so much.
@@elizabethtejada6834 CBP will probably not deny your entry just because your husband naturalized. CBP will probably not know that your husband naturalized.
An immigrant lawyer just got my money to apply for my spouse... But, we fall under your example of: I've been a green card holder for 7 months (thru my dad)... my girlfriend came to visit on a Visitor's Visa... she's been here for 5 1/2 months... we got married just last week... and the lawyer said she's going to mail all our paperwork to the immigration office this week... a few days shy of her 6 months visiting period... and the lawyer said, she would get her Social and Work Permit in a few months, and the Green Card in about 8 months to a year and a half... So, according to what you said, our case will get denied, because my wife will be considered Overstayed a Visitor's Visa, and I'll only be able to apply for her, in 5 years, when I'll finally be able to get naturalized? What will happen to her during these 5 years? And why wouldn't my lawyer say anything?
Your lawyer is correct. This video discusses times where the F2A category is not current. See www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/visa-availability-priority-dates/when-to-file-your-adjustment-of-status-application-for-family-sponsored-or-employment-based-91

Is it possible to get a green card if my adult US citizen child files I130 for me and my spouse is a green card holder and I need a wavier?
I overstayed in the US for 2 years then go back to Philippines. Is it possible to come back in the US if you a US citizen?

Thank you for your response.
Marriage (and filing a petition) will not affect a sibling petition.
I feel so relieved of your response. I'm so inspired now. Again, thank you so much.
