    J1 to Greencard by getting married to GC holder

    in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America

    Posted

    A j1 cannot aos if you're not a citizen or until the visa number is current. You'd need an f2a visa. As you can see, the current priority date is November 2014. They're working on petitions from almost 2 years ago.

    You are not a US Citizen, if she marries a US Citizen no wait to file.

    So does that means that we have to file the I130 wait for the approval than File the i485 ?

    You can not adjust status until your visa number is current, 2 years or so,.

    Hi,

    Your wife does not qualify to file an I-485. As an LPR, it takes about 2 years for a visa number to become available to your wife.

    File the I-130 right now, and hope that your wife can file the I-485 before her J1 visa expires.

    Best of luck.

    Well I've seen in a multiple places that a J-1 can ask for an AOS, And if we look at the bulletin concerning my situation the time to wait is more likely 9 month... any suggestions on what you guys are saying ? I mean I'd love to see evidence of what you are saying.

    The previous advice is correct. How did you get your greencard?

    Via Lottery, it is a 10 years greencard.

    Hello from a French guy !

    Hello everyone,

    I am a french man who now lives in the USA since september 2015.

    I wanted to live in the USA since I was a kid and this dream became true once I won the Greencard lottery 2 years ago.

    I got married now in the US with a french women and we are creating our life being happy.

    I will have for sure a lot of question on this website, and will try to answer questions to those I know the answers :)

    See you around ;)

    J1 Visa to GREENCARD / Marriage

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

    Posted · Edited by Yocks

    Hello everyone,

    I am French and I am a greencard holder (for 2 years now).

    I live in the USA since September 2015 with my wife (J1 Visa without 2 years obligation).

    We got married in February 2016.

    Her J1 Visa is ending in March 2017.

    We want to obtain her a greencard, but we don't want to use a lawyer as long as we won't be able to pay for it.

    So we will do the process by ourselves :

    I know that we have to fill 2 forms :

    - form i-130

    - form i-485

    I also know that I may find each answer of those questions below, here and there... but I've been searching a lot and I was unable to find a case like ours well described... (So please don't judge me as a lazy guy, I have done so much research, that I got lost several times...)

    This is the only thing I know for now and both forms are filled but I have got others questions before I send them :

    QUESTION 1 : Do we send those 2 forms together ?

    QUESTION 2 : Do they each have a fee to pay (at the same time of sending them) ?

    QUESTION 3 : Once those 2 forms are sent, will my wife loose her J1 Visa ?

    QUESTION 4 : If yes or no, will she be able to work/obtain a visa during the process (before obtaining her greencard) ?

    QUESTION 5 : Once those 2 forms are sent, will my wife be allowed to travel outside the united state ? (if yes for how long) ?

    QUESTION 6 : As long as we are both living in the USA now does she have to go back in FRANCE at any moment ?

    QUESTION 7 : Do we have to fill others forms ? If yes, could you name those ?

    QUESTION 8 : Is a lawyer 100% necessary...? In the way that I am fully ready to fill all the forms by myself, I just need to know if I am doing it right...

    Thank you a lot for the time you may take to answer those questions. I am currently writing a french blog since I got my greencard, explaining all the process of what I did (I got it from the lottery and didn't use any lawyer for the forms to obtain it). So if you guys give me an answer to those questions, I won't miss to speak about you all in my french blog (even if you may not care about it..).
