Hi,
I am a visitor in US and just got married to a US Citizen here. We been meeting and know eachother from past 4 years.She wants apply for my GC. My question is, when I am applying for my GC and meantime my I-94 is ending at the end April-09, if I have applied before that and waiting for USCIS's reply, Am I out of status after my I-94 expired? And does it make worng image in file?
Also I heard that, I got married before 60 days of my entry, so it will make "Presumption of fraud", I am done with my medicals here too. Don't know which way shuold I go now.
And anyone know any charity foundation lawyer in Omaha, Nebraska? As I wanted to hire an attorny for my application, but they are too expensive.

Please anyone can help, reply soon.

You can apply for AOS. Just be prepared to prove that the marriage was a "spur of the moment" decision and not a pre-planned event.

Hey Thanks, S K Ghori...

Its nice that now I can freely apply. Can you tell me, what is mean by
"Spur of the moment" and what shuold be the exact way to prove it?
As I am sure its gonna be main concern in my application, as I entered to US on march 10 and got married on march 25. But, me and my wife know eachother for 4 years and I also have bills for cards, I used here and phone call bills, emails. I used to visit her very frequently, almost 3 times a year since past 4 years.

Hope, I dont get presumption of fraud, orelse it will be worst situation.

Well, Thanks in advance and anyone can answer my question, I really appriciate.

Thanks.
 
Ouch!!!
You got married within 15 days of entering? If you entered on the 10th of March, you sure your I-94 expires in April? If that is the case, you have been given a restricted I-94. I would strongly advise you NOT to file for AOS.

I would also advise not to AOS while in the US. Spur of the moment means that when you entered the US you had NO INTENTIONS of getting married. Proof that you had no intentions would include things such as a job to go back to in your home country (and an employer that can confirm that you ARE just away on a vacation and are due back at work on x date), mortgage/lease agreements that you are still obligated to, a letter from university that you are currently in the middle of x degree that needs to be completed etc.
Marrying within 15 days of entry is pretty shady in USCIS eyes and strongly indicates that this did not happen spontaneously.
I would advise to go home before your I 94 expires and have your spouse apply for an immigrant visa for you.
 
Had Multiple I-94 from last visit

Thanks S K,
My friend actually I had I-94 from my last visit to her in Oct'08(It was purpose to visit girlfriend and B2 entry). And we know eachother since 4 years now, and I do have bills of card swiped, when we together, and photos, emails, phone bills etc.
I don't know what to do now:confused:
I have just done with my medicals too. If she apply for me when I am back to Canada(I am a PR of Canada), does she can use same medical envelop and same Marriage Cerficate (We got from here in US)?
It's URGENT, please anyone help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Actually I have just talked with one of the lawyer from the Charity Foundation and he said, it shuold not be the problem, as he will also come with me in the Interview and they are charging fair fees too.
He said just suppose, we got that problem of "Presumption of fraud", we can still apply for the waiver. And that could be only the worst situation, nothing more than that, as mostly they are concern about is the Marriage is not for the purpose of Immigration, but valid one.
Is it still ok to apply for AOS, if I am going through the lawyer?
Anyone's help appriciated.
Thanks.

Oh dear...lol...
If your lawyer tells you its okay, You better be sure he is a good one, not a charity lawyer that will have nothing to loose if you get deprted.
Like other posters say, it is best if you leave the country and let your Wife file a GC for you. I mean 6 months in Canada should not be that bad afterall.
Goodluck.
 
I am sorry friends, but I have not hired any lawyer yet.
As I am new in this forum and I am trying to find a way.
Friend Ghori, I am not trying to get rubber stamp after getting advice from lawyer, but I trust more on forum members.
Anyways, thanks a lot for your advices.
Hope anyone can reply me, as I am in the situation, if I get denied in the Interview for AOS, what are the options?
And last question, if she apply for my GC after I leave, is it only 6 months to get reply, I thought more.

Thanks.

There is a reason that some of us old timer forum members have disclaimers beneath our signatures. Do not blindly trust any forum member, including me, since if you land in hot water by blindly listening to any one of us, guess who gets burned!!! Do your research on this forum and other web sites. Your due diligence will help you in the end :)
