    we have green card, do we need to renew employment authorization?

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi. My wife got her green card (Permanent Resident card...good for 2 years initially) Dec. 2011 after a successful INS interview. Now her EAD employment authorization card is set to expire in 2 months. Does she have to renew it? The instructions imply that you don't renew it if your application for Permanent Resident was approved. We're just not sure.

    Thanks!

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Hi, I'm a newbie! Great website folks!

    But I'm confused because the CR-1 Guide links to an I-130 guide. (?)

    For someone just coming on to this website ...What is the CR-1 process?

    My wife and I got married 2 weeks ago here in California. She is here on a tourist visa.

    First, she goes back to Mexico and from there applies at a US Consulate for a CR-1 visa?

    While that is going on I send in our I-130 to USCIS?

    Then USCIS forwards our I-130 petition to someone (US Dept. of State?) and after 6 months or so she will be able to enter the US legally and stay in the US while we continue with the process?

    She needs to leave now, before we file the I-130?

    Thanks in advance!

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Posted

    Been reading lots of great advice on this website...there's so much useful information!

    My new wife and I really didn't understand all our options before getting married. She entered on a tourist visa and we got married 2 weeks ago. We were planning on submitting our I-130 etc. while both here in California, but now reading these forums I'm led to believe that she needs to go back to Mexico and we need to apply for a K-3 visa so she can re-enter w/out misrepresentation. People here in Los Angeles had given us advice saying no problem, you can get married and adjust your status from here if she entered on a visitor or tourist visa. (Many here in California did it that way, but that may have been in the past and they may be much stricter now.)

    So that was our original plan. But now I read here that that was illegal (intent to stay on a tourist visa).

    What do people advise? Is K-3 our best option at this point? Is it too late to do K-3?

    Thanks in advance!
