Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

I am an F 1 student currently on dismissal which means i am out of status but i already filed for getting married with green card holder!!n he is also applying for citizenship within 2-3 weeks but he says that his nationality will be only in 6 months.. So in that case how my status will be adjusted?will his nationality process will be longer because of me? do I have to reapply for visa? What would be the consequences?

You will not be able to adjust status (obtain a green card) until after your husband becomes a USA citizen. If you don't attend college and therefore don't maintain F-1 international student status, it's advisable to consult an immigration lawyer before filing any immigration applications on your behalf.

Hi,

You can be legally married without any problem. Your husband (when you are married) can even file an immigrant petition for you. However, you will not be able to file for adjustment of status until your husband is a U.S. citizen. Additional information is here: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm

We recommend calling our law firm during business hours at 212-268-3580 to discuss, or email [email protected] for additional guidance.
