Hey guys!
While I have been stuck in this name check delay since May 2006, I have since married an F1 visa holder. She has been in school and in status so we didn’t have any problems. I was not filing for her adjustment since I wanted to wait for my citizenship as it is much faster.
However, since I am still waiting for my citizenship and we are expecting a baby soon, my wife can’t exactly maintain full time status at school and so we were thinking of applying for her adjustment of status.
Is anyone familiar with this?
I was wondering if she would be considered legally in status after we had applied for adjustment?
Also, how soon do such applicants get their employment authorization? Will she be able to work while we wait?
Can she go to school a few months after the baby and not have to maintain full time status?
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks!
