I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your initial response. I thought you meant to say that it is unclear whether people coming in through U4U are allowed to adjust. But now I think you're saying that people coming in through U4U are allowed to adjust, and people adjusting are currently getting Green cards in about a year. The "ifs" we were concerned about would be that if my fiance comes in through U4U, we marry, but she wouldn't be allowed to adjust her status due to being paroled in the US. I could also see this being perceived as "preconceived intent", and thus her adjust of status could be denied. Then she would have to go back home after parole ends, and that time would have been better spent going through the I-129F/K1 process.

Thank you, I was also thinking of consulting with a lawyer to get a more clear idea of how to proceed and it seems that's probably the best/smartest option. Right. Although the U4U is a much better option timewise, there's too many "ifs" right now and we're concerned it can be a problem say, 1 to 2 years from now. Thank you for the response!

Hello all, This thread has been extremely helpful thus far, thanks to all for their information and input. I have a few questions regarding my current situation and would be very appreciate if anyone can provide any info: 1. Would bringing my Ukrainian fiance through U4U count against us if we marry and attempt to file an I-485 for adjustment of status later down the line? We're concerned it could be denied due to preconceived intent if we get to that stage, and then she would have to leave once her 2 years of parole are up. 2. Although the less desirable option, would filing the I-129F and pursuing the K-1 Visa be the safest bet in the long run? (Hopefully with expedite) 3. Are Ukrainians in the USA through U4U eligible for Advanced Parole? Thanks in advanced!
