Thanks guys. We had such a bad experience with the previous guy we hired that it scared my husband from seeking legal advice!

If he is not currently in the USA you cannot file adjustment of status.

You must file an I-130 and petition for a spousal visa for him to enter the country. On entry to the USA with the spousal visa he becomes a LPR.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. He is already here and we were planning on filing the adjustment of status, the I-130, and the I-765 concurrently. That is exactly what we did last time and everything went really smoothly and he got a SS # and employment authorization within 6 months. When we went for our first interview they told us the application had to be denied because I wasn't a U.S. Citizen which is why he decided to leave the country. Now we are back in the U.S. and I was about to file the same applications and thought that there might be a chance I don't need to file the I-130 again as I have already filed one back in 2006.

Hello,

I am applying for adjustment of status for my husband for the second time. The first time I was only a permanent resident but the person we hired to file our petition applied as if I were a U.S. citizen. As a result my husband's adjustment of status was rejected and he left the country immediately. This was in 2006. I am now a U.S. citizen and we are planning on filing another adjustment of status to get his Green Card. My question: Do I have to file another I-130 if I have already filed one in 2006?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
