    Marriage & Citizenship - 3 year wait

    I know this is frowned up again, but if we got married in the US while I was on the VW, could I apply for a change of status while in the US? Could I apply for LPR or would I be required to return back to my home country first? Thanks

    Marriage & Citizenship - 3 year wait

    We're not married yet but if we got married tomorrow, I think it would be 2013 - 3 years, right?

    Marriage & Citizenship - 3 year wait

    Ahh, these posts came in while I was posting mine... So it would be a 5 year wait then? She is a US citizen since birth, but yes, we're not married yet. That throws a spanner in the works :(

    Can I stay while my case is pending?

    Many thanks for your reply. I thought they would be the answers... So if I overstayed in the hopes of getting approval and it comes back denied, would this overstay be noted on my record permanently? In which case would you agree with me in saying it's probably not worth the risk in waiting /...

    Hi, I am on a B1 and my I-94 expires on Sept 25th. I have submitted my I-539. This was received on Aug 25th. I am applying to change my status to a B2 and hope to stay through until Christmas. If I do not receive a decision before Sept 25th, am I legally eligible to stay while my case...
