Hello everybody!
I really hope someone will be able to help!
So here' s my story: I am Italian and I came to the USA on a ESTA the first time from april to the beginning of june 2012 and then again from the end of july to mid october 2012.
I came back again at the end of october on a J1 visa and i worked as Au Pair starting in november 2012 'til September 2013.
In September 2013 i applied to change my J1 into a B2. My j1 was still valid when i applied but, as planned, my sponsor withdrawn it after I mailed my application form to USCIS.
The USCIS received my application on September 11th and mailed me a receipt from the California Service Center on September 13th.
It's been almost 5 months and still nothing!
Meanwhile my bf and I talked about getting marry.
I have no idea what to do! We really love each others and we decided but i am scared of bureaucracy and don't know how to proceed!
I do know about the fees, i know how to read instructions and other things but is it even possible applying for an adjustment of status when i applied for a change of status that is now on "initial review", still?!
If so, would I be able to apply myself or would i mandatory need an attorney?
Thank you very much,
S
