Hey Izzy.
So he came in US with a J1 visa that was given to him on may 11, 2010, after he aleady knew he won, even at the embassy the consul asked him if he knew he have won. So he entered the country with J1 that expired on September 11, 2010. We knew we will do AOS instead of CP because of me ( can't travel during school year) and we applied for the B2 visa at end of July motivating that he won/is married/wife cant tavel during school year, also sending as proof a copy of notification letter that he won, a translated copy of mariage license and a copy of my last I-20 good till December 2011.

Natta,
I see the complications you are dealing with in regards to the status issues. Sometimes, when people come to US on a B1/B2 visa and apply for AoS, it is looked upon with so much scrutiny (as that person’s intention becomes clear: not to return) and hence, it can be unpredictable as to how they are going to handle an AoS case with B1 status. But in your case, your spouse applied for B1 to remain in status, which I hope they will consider. I do still suggest that you at least consult an immigration lawyer before you do anything to the B1 visa. I wish you all the best and pray for you. Good Luck!
