Marriage?
I have a friend who is in the same situation as me, and she is going to get married to her high school friend turned boyfriend later this year. We are going to start visiting lawyers together soon, but would anyone know what process is involved? She is here on an expired visa, so would she have to leave the country? Does anyone know any good affordable lawyers for this?

No need to leave the country since she's not ewi. You can easily process the papers yourselves.

Re: Marriage?
She would have to prove the marriage is *bona fide* in order to adjust status within the US if a visa overstay.She will require her "I-94" white card at the time of the adjustment interview to prove prior legal entry.The most important part is the Affidavit of Support before any application can move forward.

Re: Marriage?
I thought the changes Obama made (which kick in later this year) will permit a spouse to stay in the country while waiting for their green card...right?
what is a bona fide marriage? |

The change that you are referring to is for consideration for a waiver for the 3-10 year ban, where you would have to prove that you had to be in this country, and usually would involve a US Citizen that would be dependent on your stay. This change does not change anything other than allows you to have the waiver in your hand as you go through the adjustment process, whereas, before, you would have to leave the country and apply while abroad, if you did not get the waiver you where out of luck and had to stay. People with credible cases would not follow through with this action because if it did not work it meant they would be separated, and immigration has not been the best with cases that are sensitive. |
