My brother entered this country on a F-1 visa in Aug 99 and completed his masters and then transferred to another University
but he could not complete his studies there due to health issues and was dismissed from the University in May 2002. He
married my sister-in-law in the US in Feb 2002. she is a green card and she applied for naturalization immediately in
Feb 2002. She is due to get her citizenship by March of 2003. Now my brother would be out of status when she would file a
petition for his green card. What are his chances of getting it and if not then what are his options?
Also as I understand the case since he entered this country on a valid visa which does not expire until Dec 2003 he is not
illegal but out of staus. Can someone please clarify the difference?
I would be extremely grateful if somebody could enlighten me on this.
Thanks in advance.
