True aos is an option but it's a whole new set of fees

Are you talking about the I-485?

You said she arrived this month, exactly when?

Have you read the guides on VJ or adjusting status from a Tourist Visa?

When she applied for her B did she state she was married and married to a USC?

We don't want to adjust or change the tourist visa since that is just for her to vacation here while the i-130 is currently being processed.

The only thing i was looking to see if need to be adjusted was mailing address,etc for the i-130 since she will be in USA for awhile.

Obviously she told the truth at the Embassy interview and when filing for the tourist visa about being married to a USA citizen. She brought proof of marriage along with our immigration processing status. It is all on file. They asked her about marriage, why visiting, etc during interview at embassy.

If you are currently living in Peru as a USA citizen you can do a direct Consular filling to the Lima Embassy. It is the fastest way to complete the immigration process. I had a co-worker get his green card in 6 weeks with DCF but most don't qualify. I also spoke with the USA Embassy consulate about it. Either you live in the native country or in military personal stationed there. That is absolutely the fastest way.

If you cant do DCF then i recommend k-1 visa.

Of course my wife wanted to get married in Peru with her family so we ended up with doing CR1. If you do the CR1 route she can apply for a B2 tourist visa but that is not a guarantee approval.

Hi everyone.

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or title to describe our issue so feel free to correct if necessary.

Here is our current situation and my question at bottom;

I am USA citizen living in the USA. I got married to a Peruvian woman that was living in Lima, Peru in July 2015.

In December 2015 I filled the i-130 (without help from attorney) and it is currently being processed NOA1 with expected completion date of June 2, 2016 before NOA2 starts.

In March of 2016 my wife was granted a 10 year b-2 tourist visa. When my wife arrived to the USA she was granted a 6 month length to stay at one time by the i-94 immigration officers stamp.

It seems like a change of status can only occur after the i-130 is processed but online through USIC it says within 10 days of address change. The USIC online doesn't have a place to change a foreign address it is only for USA residents.

Are there any forms or change of status to update mailing address/ living location before the i-130 is completed? If she is still in the USA when the NOA2 starts can we do the interviews, medical, etc. all in the USA instead of her flying back to Peru to complete that portion there?

I submitted all the immigration paperwork without consultation of an attorney, and plan to complete the process until end without hiring one in order to save money. I wan to be accurate as possible with when, where, how, all the papers i submit so there are no delays.

Thanks.
