only if you have a USC spouse or USC child 21 years of age.

you cannot transfer an EB based I-485 to a family based I-130. You will have to file a new I-485.

Jesse, you will get all the information you need on J-1 waivers in the J-1 subforum. Don't pay attention to Al.

1) for his immigrant visa you will need to submit I-864 3) check reciprocity tables for Costa Rica at www.travel.state.gov. If Costa Rica's report shows unavailability, you don't need to get the police report. Otherwise, there will be instructions on how to obtain police records. 4) I don't...

no, he wouldn't be. You can get some help from an attorney, but they are not omnipotent. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1267.html#15

do you mean that he got an immigrant visa number or he adjusted his status to that of a permanent resident? until you tell us, we won't be able to help you. In any case, USCIS would know. Suggest you give them a call or write to them.

help you with what? if you don't make enough money, either get a second job or a co-sponsor. If you don't want to do either, you can leave the States and live with your wife elsewhere, or stay in the US without your wife.

that doesn't make sense.

no, she didn't misread the letter. Lots of people on forums, whose PD is years and years from being current, report getting the same notice from USCIS stating that "you will be contacted within 90 days of this approval notice".... Which is not true, of course...

kwanlau, you need to understand that your wife's status is a Permanent Resident. Not temporary... She simply has a conditional green card, and that condition needs to be removed in 2011. If she applies for a visitor's visa, the consulate will revoke her GC.

I agree with Jack.

well, did you try to read the instructions to forms I-130? I-485? anything at all? have you looked at www.uscis.gov at all?

1) no, of course not. She doesn't have to work at all. 2) any place

you can't, but your petitioner can.

I am still wondering what he meant by that. Didn't he know that crossing over with IR visa would give her a GC and that was, in fact, why people would get an immigrant visa to begin with?

since the relationship still exists, a new I-130 is not usually required.

they need a divorce certificate from whichever country the divorce took place.

whether the spouse is illegal or not, evidence of bona fide marriage needs to be provided.

A filed I-130 may also hurt his chances of renewing his F-1 visa, if he ever needs to do so. If the rules didn't change, he can enter Canada for upto 30 days and come back with his old I-94 without getting a new visa, but he needs to check on regulations with his International Student Center.

you can, but it will take 10-14 years until he can actually apply for adjustment of status. Until then he either has to maintain his non-immigrant status or leave the US.
