Hi all, I originally came to the US with a tourist visa back in the early 90's as a young boy with my parents. So as you can see, I have been out of status for a while now. I have question about i-485. A little background. I met and married my wife (for love) and she was a LPR at the time. We filed an 1-130a while back and got a letter saying it was approved not too long ago. She is going to be sworn as a USC on 29th of March. But the approval letter I got for the i-130 states I am not eligable to adjust my status as this time. No clear reason was given however. So first, I wanted to know if it is because she is not USC yet? Or what?
Secondly, I was told by a friend that would need to file under 245 (i) and pay the $1,000.00 fine since I have been out of status for a while. Is that accurate? And just who are suppose to file under 245 anyway? This has left me a bit confused being I am not sure what 245 is suppose to do. Third, would it be safe to also file for advance parole while my application is being processed? I don't want to risk not coming back or trigerring that 3/10 bar. I figure I'll try and see if anyone can help me on this forum.
