Hello Guys,
This is a little bit off-topic to the postings under this specific forum
but I hope you can help me out. I am looking for cases for
spouses of Green Card holder, who are on H1B visa or trying to
get H1B visa or transferring the visa. My girlfriend has a valid H1B
visa and currently staying in her home country. She is planning to
enter the U.S. and then get married. I wonder if she can face any
legal issues in various cases. Here are the few of them:
1. If she gets married to me in the U.S. and then apply for H1B
transfer, will that create a problem for her to get the transfer
approved bcoz of her status being spouse of a permanent
resident ? I know H1B visa allows dual intent, but I am not sure
if that will be applicable in this scenario.
2. In case the INS/US-CIS asks her to go to her home country to
get her H1B visa stamped, will her status of being spouse of a
permanent resident create any problems at the consulate and
prevent her entering into the U.S. on her own ?
3. Any pointers on similar situations/cases in this site or
elsewhere will be greatly appreciated.
And last, does anybody has idea how long it is taking to get family
based green card approved ? I guess I need a moderate
estimate on that.
Thanks!
