How does my foreign husband change his status from visitor to resident?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
I assume that you are a U.S. Citizen. If so you have to petition your husband by filing an I-130 petition. If he is not in the U.S. you can immigrant visa/consular processing which will take about 1 year. If he is in the U.S. he can file for adjustment of status (Form I-485) at the same time as the I-130 petition. It would take about 2-3 months for him to receive his work permit and 4-6 months to receive his Green Card. However, you have to be careful about your husband traveling to the U.S. on his visitor visa if you are U.S. citizen and file an petition or intend to petition him. He could have a problem at the border/airport if USCBP believes he is not coming to visit, but his coming to live in the U.S.

What can I do for my daughter, I-130 approval is taking longer than expected.

Stephen Arnold Black
Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
Is your daughter married? Go look at the state department visa bulletin. It will show you what cases (based on the filing dates) they are currently beginning to process. It likely will take more time.

Can my husband petition for my children so that they can become naturalized US citizens?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
I am a little confused on everyone's status. If your husband was born in the U.S., the children are his natural children, and he has spent the requisite time in the U.S. (This varies depending on his birth date) he can file for a Report of Foreign Birth Abroad for them to obtain U.S. passports and be recognized as U.S. citizens. If I am reading your facts correctly you are in the U.S. and the children are overseas. You are only a permanent resident though and not a citizen. If you were married less than 2 years when you obtained your permanent residency you presumably got a 2 year green card and will need to self-petition to remove the conditions. Who are you referring to when you say how long can he physically stay in the U.S.? I would be happy to assist you and the children and your ex-husband through these various procedures. You may schedule a consultation to discuss your case by contacting me as indicated below. We do charge for consultations but any consultation fees would then be a credit toward the fees for your case if we are retained for further work after the consultation.
