Can I get married to my fiancé who is American citizen in my 60 day grace period after my OPT expires?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
There is no immigration law prohibiting marriage following expiration of one's OPT status, whether before or after the end of the "grace period." Additionally, when a U.S. citizen becomes married to a foreign national who entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection (such as with an F1 visa), the couple can succeed in the adjustment of status application process so that the foreign national spouse can become a U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (get a "Green Card"), and this is true regardless of whether the application is filed after expiration of the foreign national's nonimmigrant visa (and even if that person may have become employed without authorization). Of course, there are many other details for adjustment of status eligibility. Also, failure to properly prepare the multiple relevant applications and to provide a full set of supporting documents can cause significant delay or even more harsh consequences. It would be wise for you and your fiance to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant details about you and your fiance?, would be able to advise about eligibilities, options and strategies and would be able to offer legal representation for the application process.

Green Card processing with FNU in name

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
FNU now appears to be a well-known acronym for “first name unknown”. I do not think that U.S.C.I.S. will require your wife to obtain a birth certificate including the name FNU. If she obtains a birth paper with only the one name, that should be acceptable.
