My situation is I am a permanent resident since May 2012, I am recently got married to my spouse in February 2013 here in the US we have a 6 years old child together. He currently works in the US legally but he is only here for 8 months. I want to know how best to file for him and if it is wise for him to remain in the US while I start his filing process. Or is there anyway to apply for a particular visa for him to remain in the US, he has been travelling to and fro for the past 7 years. Please assist.

He can stay in the US as long as his visa would allow. Beyond that he has to go back to the Philippines.

You can file i-130 for him now. He will be under the F2A category (Spouse and unmarried child below 21 of LPR). Waiting time is 2 and a half YEARS. Your child will be included as his derivative in this petition.

Spouses and children of LPRs cannot adjust status in the US. If your spouse overstays (stays beyond the limit of his visa), he will incur a ban.



If your child is already in the US with a green card, only your spouse will be in the F2A category.

If you are a USC you should search the forum to get information on adjustment of status for him in the US as long as he did not come in with the intent to stay. That is seen as fraudulent.

she is a permannet resident and the overstay isnt forgiven. She can only file the Form I-130 since a visa isnt readily available.
