Legal Question in Immigration Law in Indiana

Re: status adjustment

You'll need to apply for your adjustment of status and include an application for advance parole (travel permit). It should take about 3 months to receive, which will in turn, allow your fiancee to travel in and out of the US while the adjustment is pending.

Re: status adjustment

Your fiance may be eligible to file for advance parole which is permission to travel while her adjustment of status application is pending. However, you should consult with an attorney prior to filing this application to ensure that her travel outside of the US will not trigger any bars (i.e., that she will be allowed to re-enter the US after she leaves).

Re: status adjustment

No way you can file an adjustment BEFORE you are married, so tell the person who told you that that he is WRONG. Presuming your fiance entered the U.S. LEGALLY, you must file an adjustment package consisting of an I-130 (petition), an I-485 (application for adjustment of status), an I-765 (application for employment authorization), and an I-131 (application for travel authorization). Nothing goes further than your finger until your fiance receives a notice for biometrics and she takes them. Now, if you obtain an interview PRIOR to two years of marriage, she may be granted a temporary permanent resident status; this means that prior to the expiration of that status, you must file to removal the conditions on her status and she may be granted lawful PERMANENT residence. There is no filing Prior to your marriage.
