Hi,

I am a US citizen, and I will petition for my father. He is in US on B2 visa. Visa will expire March 2008. We will probably get everything ready and send in I-130 and 1-485 in one package in Jan 2008. My question is: once we submit the package, can my dad legally stay in US, even after his visa expires?

I've read the guide. Seems like he can legally wait in US. But I hope to get confirmation from one of you experts.

Thanks,

Hua

YES :yes: it just like any other NON-IMMIGRANT visa holder adjusting status. Example K-1 adjusting status always have expired visa while waiting for AOS.

File for AP, and EAD along with the I-485, they don't cost more when filed for with AOS. AP allows travel out of the country and re-entry, and EAD allows getting SSN, and perhaps work.

I-765 (EAD) code is (c )(6 ) based on pending I-485.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

Hi, one more question. If I don't apply EAD, will my dad eventually get SSN after getting green card?

Thanks,

Yes he can. Green card trumps EAD. That is, with a green card, your father will be free to work and travel.
