Hi everyone,
I'm writing in order to get your opinion on my eligibility for adjustment of status.
I married my wife in April 2006, when she was still a legal permanent resident. She became a naturalized US citizen in August 2009. We filed an i-130 in December 2008. Our i-130 was approved on September 28, 2009.
In January 2009, we found out that my wife was expecting our first child. Because of this circumstance, I filed for a B2 visa at my local US embassy, which got granted. In August, I traveled to the US to be here for the birth of our first child who was born on September 13, 2009.
I am currently still in the US, in status until February 9, 2010.
So my question is whether I qualify for Adjustment of Status or if I have to travel to Europe for Consular processing. Does anyone have light to shed on this issue?
The reason I am in doubt is because I received the B2 visa in order to temporarily visit the US to be there for the birth of our child. But since our Petition got approved very speedily, I am now wondering if I could stay in the US and not have to leave wife and baby (even if it's only for a short duration I'd prefer to stay).
I hope someone can help.
Best,
J
