So, i am LPR wife, my stepdaugther wait overseas in our home country and she got her green card in less that 2 years. I started consular process then i adjust status, i am still waiting for my interview its gonna be my 3rd year and my stepdaugther and i started with same priority date. So just be patience and wait in your country. I have EAD renew 3 times already.

I dont have overstay becausewhen i filled my 485 i was in my 6 months of B2 visa.

Thanks for the reply.

So you were able to come in as a tourist for 6 months after consular processing was started? I thought it is almost impossible because coming in as a tourist there should be no immigration intent? And consular processing already shows intent?

If you are denied (and you will be, you have no valid reason to extend your stay) you cannot adjust and will have overstayed, which is not forgiven since your spouse is not a citizen. It's really not worth it.

What would be the next best step to stay so i can AOS if my PD comes up let's say in July 2018?

I have previously posted questions that background our situation but this time this in in anticipation of upcoming AOS interview.
My wife has a B2 visa she got when visiting with family here in the States. She has used the same visa a few times to visit me while we were not married yet. We got married finally while I was still on my greencard, two years shy of applying for naturalization. She came with me back to the states to help me settle and was definitely planning coming back to our country because she was in her 3rd year of med school. At this time the F2A category became current,we applied for I-130, approved, and bulletin retrogressed. She also applied for B2 visa extension which was also approved. At a later point, circumstances changed, and it became difficult for us, especially for me that we separate so with uncertainty, we decided that she overstays. Now we are anticipating our AOS interview and we are getting ready to be questioned fully on her preconceived intent of overstaying when she back with me after our wedding. What will be the possible hurdles/questions/ that we should get ready for in this case? Is there anything we could do to improve the outcome? I ask that please don't pass any judgment on the decisions that we have made. We all come from different circumstances and I just want a rational and open minded input. Thank you in advance!

May i asked the reason given to get the b2 extension approval?

No, definitely not.

 

You're risking a lot by overstaying.

So even if i file AOS while extension is pending, they would not touch my AOS until they have an answer about extension?

If extension approved then i can stay and adjust. But if denied then i have to leave?

am I understanding it correctly?

u better have valid reason for extension.  if extension is denied, then time beyond original I-94 is overstay which will affect ur AOS.

 

u would take gamble that extension is legitimate.  if not, you will lose big.

Thanks for the quick reply.

we have traveled to different states and mexico while i have been here the past few months. Would more travel be a valid reason for them to approve?

Hi currently on tourist visa with i-94 expiring January 2018. My PD July 2017.

If we file to extend tourist visa, can i file for AOS if i am still in the US when my PD is current under Filing Chart (not final action)? Even if there is no decision on my extension yet.

This is for F2A with LPR spouse
