Thanks for all the advice. Unfortunately, no one is able to help us out financially. Will post updates as our situation changes.

Well, no. Actually, I meant any organizations that may be able to assist us financially with the costs associated with my family's immigrations. I am still unemployed, my wife is a registered nurse. Once she has her work authorization, it will take some of the pressure off until I can find work.

Does anyone know of any assistance organizations?

Thanks for all the comments. It makes me feel better knowing this probably wont keep them from getting their green cards in the future as soon as we can afford.

Well, that's good to know. The good news is that the kids are allowed to attend school. However, my step-daughter cant attend college yet, but the others are in high school.

My understanding was that there is a "grace" period. I may be incorrect in that. But that "grace" period would expire 12 months after arrival.

Their visas are 10 year, multi-entry. Upon entry, a B-2 is valid for six months. We planned to have their AOS started before their six months were up. However, we ran out of funds before we could apply.

Hello,

I desperately need some solid advice. I am a natural born U.S. citizen. I brought my foreign wife and her children to the United States on B-2 visas in October 2013 to visit my family and I returned to my job in Saudi Arabia and planned to return to visit again at Christmas 2013 and take them back to Saudi Arabia. When I returned to Saudi Arabia I found out my contract would not be renewed and decided to file AOS for them when I came home in February 2014. We knew it would take a little longer to save the money for their AOS (about $6000 for all four of them). So, I began to search for work here at home. It has been very difficult and I have been unable to find work. We are living with my family and they are helping as best they can.

They will have been in the U.S. since October 2013 and I am worried that if their documents are not filed by October 2014 they will be declared illegal and be deported.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Craig
