Hello : I need some information / opinion from you guys.Here is my long story in brief :
- I came to US on H1B1 visa (2001)
- Before the Visa expired, i met a lovely woman, got married.She is US born citizen.
- We tried applying for naturalization , after my visa expired (2003), but our forms were not accepted as INS wanted my birth certificate. I was able to obtain one from Indian embasy in NY, but INS still refused to accept my forms, as they said they need a original certificate from my country (INDIA).
- I was not able to get hold of my folks back in india, for sending me a certificate, as they had moved from one state to the other.
- A week back , i was able to get a contact # of my parents in india and i am pretty sure that there shouldnt be any problem in getting my birth certificate.
- I am still married and we are doing our best to pay our bills and survive.But as i am not able to take a job and as currently not sure what is my status in US, we are going through a lot of emotional stress. At this time all i am interested is in to get a permission to work.
- With in next month we are planning to file again.
- My questions & concerns are : Will INS accept our application now ? Will there be any issues , because of my current status (what ever it is) ?
I thank you all in advance, any information/help will be deeply appreciated.
Regards
