My I140 was approved and i filed for I485 2/2002. I just had my 2nd FP Feb 2004 -- Now got an RFE - which sounds like they will revoke my I140 approval. I got married and my spouse is a permanent resident. My case is under sports category - im an instructor.
I will be contacting my lawyer for advise but wanted to run through the available options from gurus.
What options do I have?
a) If I apply for I-130 through my spouse - Can I stay within the country? if so, can I go to school full-time and not work?
b) My earlier petition was under EB1 - exceptional ability. Lately, i've had some health issues and have not been able to coach at a competitive level [requirement is to be coaching at international level]. Can they consider me for the lower bar under 'exceptional ability' category? if so can anyone say how that works?
Bottom line, what happens to status in worst-case when my petition gets rejected -- im within the US and married to a GC holder.
thanks
