@geowrian oh yeah I apologize  what I mean is the I -130 but not the the usual AOS process that my husband have to go thru from the K1 visa, what I mean is to just directly file for a petition as a husband of an American citizen  because thru that I believe I will be saving alot of time and steps to go thru, and since he was been married to me already for almost 5 years so we don't  need to go thru the removal of conditional status anymore, correct me if I'm mistaken.thanks you!

You still need to AOS, but you will get a 10 year GC, and no ROC will be necessary.

@caliliving thanks for your response,  but one quick question  since you waited for 3 years did you file directly the I-30? And not the usual process of adjustment of status from the K1 coz as far I could remember the AOS  from the K1 had more steps to do, like removal of conditional immigrant status while in I-30 it's like it's a petition for an  alien husband, wherein there will no more conditional status since we been married for almost 5 years. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i AOS from a tourist visa.. and no, thankfully you get the 10year so u save 500$ and more paperwork! yay!!!!!!

if you are married 2 years regardless of the visa, if you are approved after the 2yr mark u get an automatic 10yr gc.

No, you screwed up if citizenship was his goal!!! he could have his citizenship 3 years AFTER being an LPR condtional or not (conditional is STILL an LRP!) 

 

so basically, 2 years ago he could have been a citizen! but that is water under the bridge.. after 2 years and 10 months of being an LPR, yes, he can apply for citizenship.

File asap. Overstays in general have been targeted for the past few years and even more especially nowadays. 

 

You should call the eoir 800 number and enter his A number just to check that he wasn't flagged for removal because while rare, they do check randomly on a persons last visa status and such. It does happen, it happened to us. If that comes up clear then by all means file now :)

Thank you so much for your rely geowrian , I appreciate it, my husband did not travel or work since he came in here in the US nothing was done even SSN i was not able to get,,,just clarification do you mean I need to file I -30, but why do I need to File also AOS?

He did not work -- he married the right lady - They will ask to see bank, cash receipts and proof he got no money at all - not even working as a helper, they will ask "what did he do with his time" - Be ready. Look at the lady who was deported to Mexico, new game will be played now - we all worry.

Working illegally is forgiven to a spouse of a USC as long as he didn't claim to be a USC.

Hi piste...thank you for the compliment... in fairness to my husband, he was not able to work coz he helped my daughter to take care my 4 small grandkids. And thank god though I'm the only one working, it's not been so tough...I guess I still married a very wonderful  man, putting the needs of others first on top of his own:). The case of that Mexican lady I believe is a complicated one, but I understand your concern and I appreciate that. That's why I'm trying now to put things in perspective.:) your views, opinion and advise is very well appreciated. Thanks again!

The i130 is only needed if they did not marry within the 90 days of the foreign fiancés entry

Hi p-ana  thank you for your advise. I believe you are right I just need to file the AOS NOT the I-130 since we got married less than the 90 days Grace period. But one quick question and clarification , since my husband was married to me and been staying here for almost 5 years, so obviously I don't need to removed the conditional status anymore? Meaning he can get the 10 years green card once the AOS is approved? And one more question,  can I still get SSN for my husband now even though the I- 194 had already expired? I need your inputs here. Thank you!
