    Quick Question - Pls Advise Me on what I could do

    Hi there Take heart. I think the easiest way if you both want to be together is to enroll her into school for a semester or two whilst your application for citizenship is being processed. She can also apply for a H1 in the meantime. Take care.

    Marriage

    I would advise the man to leave the country the same way he came in, then get married to his fiancee and use a K visa to enter the country. Of course the man would then have to deny that he was ever in the US illegally and explain that he met the fiancee over the internet but that is for you to...

    This has turned into an almost lame duck portal

    Don't forget Rajiv has initiated a class action lawsuit. That's one mighty big hammer ... This forum has been invaluable for me from start to finish and for helping my relatives out. Your mileage may vary :)

    Green Card Received for 10 years ... WoooHoooo

    Seems random. Spouse and I went to Boston on Oct 26th, she already got her green card, my message hasn't changed - still saying case was approved. I read in another Forum they are issuing cards from a new stock - it will say DHS instead of INS.
