Legal Question in Immigration Law in Ohio

Based on your lawful admission, you appear eligible to adjust status here in the States. However more information on your history is needed. However, there may be an issue with your lack of attendance at school. Although its not a legal preclusion to adjusting status, it can be used against you in the exercise of discretion. Whenever I'm confronted with this type of case I recommend counsel to represent both parties through the process. Please strongly consider retaining a lawyer for this matter.

Hi,

There can be a problem in adjusting status in the U.S. if you did not have an intention to be a full-time student at time of entry to the U.S. However, as a general rule you can be sponsored and adjust status in the U.S. successfully if all sponsorship paperwork is properly filed concurrently with the USCIS.

I recommend calling our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours, or email [email protected] so that we can convey additional information.

I agree that there could be a problem.

Also, when did you come on F1? If it was recently (2 years ago), colleges report students who fail to attand college through SEVIS to ICE. In many cases, removal (deportation) proceedings can be initiated. If you moved or didn't update your "intended" address in USA, there could be an outstanding removal order issues as well. I suggest you consult a lawyer.

I would strongly suggest you contact a knowledgable immigration attorney to assist you. As noted above, there are concerns regarding your "intent" when you entered the United States since you never attended college, secondly you would want to check and see if a removal case was done in absentia (in your absence). Our offices are located in the Cincinnati area, and we'd be happy to assist you.

Yes, you may, if an appropriate application is made by your US CItizen wife. It may be better to make application through a US immigration attorney.
