I dont think living in another state should matter, just my opinion though as long as you can prove where you have been living for the past five years everything should be ok.Just to be on the safe side contact an experience immigration attorney.

Thanks for the information. So this is what I did. I called 1-800-375-5283 and the immigration officer who was very helpful told me that I can file an AOS in whatever state I want since I'm not married.

She also said that I must wait for my priority to become current before doing my AOS since I'm 28 yrs old and regardless that my father is a US citizen.
When my priority becomes current I will get some paper or papers in the mail explaining every thing I need to do.

This is where I'm at right now.

My GC Problem

Hi,

I have a similiar situration to yours. Here is my situation:

My parents filed for my GC in October 1997(I-130 Unmarried son of GC Holder). The case was approved with priority date of December 6, 1997. Afther that I came to US on H1-B visa. That is still valid. I got married and brought my wife on H-4 visa. Now they are US Citizen. When I called NVC they told me that I can upgrade the petition and file to adjust my status but my wife has to leave the country for four years and I have to file the GC for her once again.

From your info I believe there is some section 245(i) that allows her to stay legally in US. Do you know what is that section. Who qualifies uder that. I am in desperate need for more information on that. Me and my wife do have a valid visa status in US. Hence I dont thing I have to pay the 1k fine (Not that it matters.)

Thanks in advance. Please reply.
