Note: The above response is provided for legal information purposes only and should not be considered a legal advice; it doesn�t create an attorney-client relationship. If you would like to request a follow-up confidential advice on your specific situation and regarding U.S.A. immigration-related issues, we can offer a paid consultation by telephone or email to clients from all States and globally.

No, there's no waiting time to file to adjust status. There are two waiting times though for different kinds of cases: in the event you already have permanent residence and seek to remove conditions on permanent residence, the filing time is 21 - 24 months after securing permanent residence, with exceptions.

Also, if you entered the U.S. illegally, then you cannot adjust status and must visa process, with exceptions. Upon departure, with unlawful presence, you'd need to file a waiver, which in discretion requires extreme hardship and the longer the marriage, the more likely the case will be approved. This is not a set time frame, but one that is fluid, where more is more valuable than less.

The above is general information and not legal advice. It does not form an attorney client relationship. For further information, feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 818 609 1953.
