I just sent an email to our lawyer about her I-94 i cant wait the aswer...so i might get a quick answer in this forum...thanks

Your wife does not go back to her country and adjust status as you cannot adjust your status in a foreign country (you need to be present in the USA to have status)... she would go back to get a VISA with her kids...

If the step parent stepchild relationship was created between you and the kids before the age of 18 YOU can petition for the kids right now... otherwise your wife will need to after she is a citizen

thats what the lawyer said she have to wait her citizenship before we can get them...the lawyer said i cannot petition her child for they are not my direct relative...so this makes me confused.....where can i get the waiver anyway?

How old are the kids?

How expired is her I-94?

The kids are 13 and 11 and her 1-94 expired Dec. 28, 2008.

Perhaps you should

Thanks Bobby.....this VJ is really helpful, i was so worried about my wife status before by reading here with the same case as her i got a lots of idea...anyway, thanks again.

I-864 package?

Or are you talking about the 485 package?

Do you mean your going to send 2020.00 total?

opsss..i mean I-130 and I-485.. do i have to send a check each package of 1010.00? Is anyone can advise about this?

First, please allow me to apologize for the length of this post.

My long time boyfriend is visiting on a tourist visa. After spending the last month and a half together, we would like to get married here in the US, but have the following situation which may complicate matters. He is a German citizen that has been working in Japan for the last 6 years. In the past year, he received a 3 year renewal on his Japanese work visa. He was laid off from his job in Japan seven months ago and has been unable to find another executive position. He is on the verge of declaring personal insolvency, and believes he will be deported from Japan back to Germany once it becomes clear to immigration that he no longer has his original position. He no longer has any ties back in Germany. Based on what I read, it seems that we will have to provide proof of his employment, proof of living circumstances (i.e., a lease, utility bills, etc.) in order to apply for adjustment of status from his tourist visa, assuming that we don't think it makes sense for him to try and establish a new home in Germany until a K1 visa comes through. As he has been unemployed for this length of time, and is possibly getting ready to lose his current lease, I am wondering if this will prevent an adjustment of status. I was hoping that someone might have some information that would help us before we attempt to hire a lawyer. I've looked in the forums, but haven't found anything that sheds light on our situation. I certainly am mindful that we don't get into a situation that would be miscontrued as fraud. We had no intention of getting married when he began his visit six weeks ago.

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

trillium13 is right. what matters is his intent at the point of entry. Many have adjusted from Tourist & VWP and most of them successfully sailed through, but its highly risky and despite the fact that I am adjusting from Tourist too, I would advise against it, if you have an doubts or can't prove your ties back home. You wont have the right to appeal, when your case is decided and the decision is not in your favor. Deporation and ban is a painful fact. In the end the decision is all yours. Best of Luck. I would stay away from lawyers.

Is the lawyer not helpful? i have gather all the papers to send to my lawyer for my wife AOS I am just confused, my lawyer list of requirement for AOS is not the same as the list that i read in VJ my wife came here as a tourist visa but she came her to visit all of her friends and i ask her to marry me she supposed to go back but i dont let her go i know there is a way for immigration, hope for the best... but anyway i am going to follow the list of requirements in VJ and sent to my lawyer...can back out now i already pay and non refundable.
