AOS of F-1 student.
- Thread starter udi
- Start date
You as a permanent resident cannot do much about it. If you get married and you file I-130 for her it will still be another 5-6? years before immigrant visa becomes available for her. During this time she has to maitain her legal status here on her own. You cannot get a work permit for her.
To add to Ninyte's reply, for now she can work on campus for a maximum of 20 hrs during school semesters and 40 hrs during summer while on F1 visa. In order to do that, she needs to get employment from the university itself. And then proceed to get a Social Security card that would have "Authorized to work with DHS approval only".
Otherwise, once she successfully completes her study program, she will need to apply for a I-765 Employment Authorization Document (EAD) under the F1-OPT (Optional Practical Training) category which would be valid for a year.

Oops!!! Long wait for both.
I have a similar question but different scenario, albeit odd. I am a US Citizen. I am sponsoring my father who is F1 and mother is F2. They have maintained lawful status throughout their stay here and never worked in the US. Any problems with petitioning them for greencard through AOS? So far, I got 130 approved but there is outstanding RFE for 485... dieing to get the letter soon to find out what the question is....

Not a problem. (Your dad is a STUDENT that is ODD).
You have already applied for them right? so I do not see any problems with that.

Correct. He has been going to school for over 10 years - with 3 advance degrees. No joke. However, now that we've filed for AOS, he is planning to stop going to school. It's my understanding that it's ok to do so after he files for 485. Someone correct me if I am wrong...
I have been concerned lately because RFE was issued 3 days ago on his 485. Just not sure what it could be for. I belive the same RFE was issued for my mother's 485.

No need to correct you. You are right. His status depends now on his I-485 adjudication.
ps: does he work? what his he doing with so much knowledge?

Some should make the USCIS abbreviations a more clear sticky.
Thanks guys for the reassuring words. He's been retired for about 20 years. He never finished college so it was his goal to get advance degrees. From that point on, he was sort of addicted to school. LOL. I am extremely proud of him - something that I would have never done. Part of me tells me that he did it for me so we can stay in US during his studies. Since then, I got my greencard through my company and received my citizenship.
