Hello, Here is a scenario: He is currently an H-1 worker. The company is downsizing and he might be out of a job by February. If they would get married in spring (she has a GC), after his termination, could he stay in US and obtain legal status based on the marriage? Could he work...

Thank you Thank you for your answers. -marcin

What is the legal length of stay on H4? 3 or 6 months or as long as your spouse is on H1B? I believe that exact stay period it is decided at the port of entry on I-94. But I'm more concerned how long is the visa stamp valid for. Thanks. marcin

That's not true that you have to back to your home country in order to have H1 stamped in your passport. I was on F1 and got H1. I went to Canada with all papers and letter from my employer, and got a new H1 in my passport without any problems. Oh, btw, I had my original US BS diploma. There is...

From reading these posts I am coming to a conclusion that while on H4, the holder cannot receive a SS# at all??? Is this true??? I thought that while on H4 a holder can get a SS card with a stamp "Not Valid For Employment" According to many new laws in states, drivers license cannot be...

Having H1B is it required to pay Social Security deductions? Since I am not a residents nor a citizen, I am not eligible for Medicare or Soc. Security benefits later on. Technically why would I contribute? Is H1B exempt?

hmm, what about Tax Identification Number? i am not sure 100% but take a look at this option, if applicable.

Even though he might be out of status, by marrying a USC he has a right to remain in US and wait for processing. This is the easiest way to get out of the situation.

Wait a minute, so what you are saying is that as a GC holder you can not get your wife here to US? But an H-1 visa holder can get his wife from another country on H-4 visa??? or F-1 student can bring his wife on F-2??? Am I understanding it correctly? Cause it does not make any sense. GC...

Ok. She does not have any visa at this time. She came here in 1993 on B-2 which has expired sometime in 1994 (it was extended). Since then, she has been living in US and did not leave the country. In 1994 she started GC process through employer sponsorship for a "hard-to-fill-job" by US...

Guccidkny, Her visa (B-2) expired 8 years ago. From what I understand by reading the approval letter, once you are out of status there is some other procedure that she must go through. INS just can't give her GC right away. I don't know, that's the phrase INS has used in the letter "adjust"...

f-1 you can try adjust her status with the school registrar (DSO). if you have some paper from INS proving that your petition is in progress, you have a chance of convincing DSO that she is no longer F-1 student. if school knows and understands your situation then there is no reason to deport...

My mom's sister (USC) has filed I-130 for her in April 2001 (under Life Act). Today (December 9, 2002) came approval notice from INS. My mom has overstayed in this country for over nine years. I believe that’s why the letter also stated: “Because the person for whom you are petitioning is...

Hi, I was fine with the whole idea of getting H-4 for my wife but after constant disbelieve from her side, I started to doubt this process as well. So here is my situation. Quick summary: - I'm on my first H-1 till Sept 2004 - Getting married in Jan 2003 back in home country - Wife has...

I'm on H1 and would like to bring my fiancé to US and most likely get married. My petition for Green Card has been started just last month so I can't count on early resolution this way. What would be the best way for her to come to US? She has never applied for any visa to US. The current...
