Legal Question in Immigration Law in Arizona

Expired J-1 Visa, Lost IAP-66, Engaged...

Hi..

I came to the US in 2001 and I did file to change my status with my original IAP-66...so I no longer have the IAP-66 and I want to file for a J-1 Visa waiver under undue hardship because I am helping my fiance care for her mother (she had a stroke). I am out of status....how should I proceed to get a green card/change my status? I want to know if it is possible. Thank you!

Dear Inquirer:

You will need to obtain proof of your legal admission to the US in order to file for adjustment of status, assuming you are otherwise eligible. You will alos need to obtain a waiver of teh two-year requirement in order to be approved for the green card.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

At this time, if you are not married to a USA citizen-fiance, you are not eligible for adjustment of status.

When you apply for a J-1 waiver, there are more than one waivers available. Why did you decide that hardship waiver is the most appropriate for you? Have you consulted an attorney? What country are you from? What J1 program you were enrolled into in 2001?

Yes, that is correct: when you apply for a J-1 waiver, you have to submit copies of the IAP-66 form. One way to obtain a copy or information about your program is to contact a program sponsor (the organization through which you came as a J1 in 2001).
