I am on F1 visa which expires in 2015, but i am going to be done with collage by 2014 July. We are getting married in July 2013, and we are getting married in city hall so it will be a legal marriage.

Do i need to do anything before getting married, and what paper work do i need to do so i can obtain a green card. I read that i can't travel for sometime, when i am in the process of getting a green card. I need to travel out of the country in January, is there anything i can do so i can enter back with out any problems. 

How much does it cost, because i don't have job and my soon be wife just got done with school and is looking for a job.

Greetings fellow members

I have searched through the forums and have found topics from 2011, so am reposting in hopes of getting current information for 2013.

How does a beneficiary residing in Mumbai apply for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)? The US Mumbai consulate web site says apply at local passport office, but no additional details are given.

My request to any VJ'ers with beneficiaries in Mumbai who have gone through the process recently: If you could post your advice/tips/experiences about how to get a PCC in Mumbai that would be greatly appreciated! How long does it take to get one and what is the cost?

Thanks in advance!

Filed application for green card for my fiance and 9 moths later they have no response. completed biometrics and it has been 8 months since then do not know where the application is? it is very furstrating. when i call the USCIS they told me we will mail you a later explaining it has been outside the normal time and we'll mail you. no later as of yet. do not know what to do.

Hello,

I have a concern regarding my opt status. I am currently working on OPT extension and its valid till March 2014. I am planning on getting my sponsorship through my fiancee who is a US citizen.

I recently, unfortunately, got caught in the grand larceny, a Felony case.

I am going to get married to my fiancee in October and hoping to get my EAD before my OPT expires. I want to know if option # 1 or option # 4 (which are possible outcomes) could jeopardize my OPT status and will deport me. Will, me getting married to a US citizen, help my case a little bit and not deport me? Will I have to sign a waiver form? how likely it is that it could get denied as well?

Please shed some light if some of you have some information in this topic.

These are some options that my lawyer that I could hope for. And we believe we could try for option # 4 but option # 1 is most probable one.

Option #1: 

Misdemeanor Petit Larceny with 180 days, all suspended.   This would be the standard disposition of the case for any similarly situated U.S. citizen.  It is my understanding that this would disqualify him from the petty offense exception, assuming he was eligible for that.

Option #2:

Misdemeanor Petit Larceny with 175 days, all suspended. 

Option #3:

Misdemeanor Trespassing with 180 days, most suspended but with some active jail time (probably 5 days or so).  I have advised Vikram to undertake community service in advance of the court date in the hope that we could get something like this without the jail time in exchange, but we would need to be prepared. 

Option #4:

Misdemeanor Trespassing with 175 days, most suspended but with some active jail time (possibly 5-15 days).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Regards,

Vedic
