What can I do for her to get green card?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
You cannot really help her until you become a citizen: only a marriage to a citizen would excuse her illegal presence in the U.S. after expiration of her visa. If you marry her now, you might consider filing an immigrant petition for her right away - it will shorten the process by a couple of months, and you will pay the current filing fee (which is likely to go up before you become a citizen). More importantly, it will give your fiancee some degree of protection from deportation: if Immigration & Customs Enforcement ever becomes aware of her illegal presence, as a wife of a permanent resident with an approved immigrant petition, she will less likely be placed in removal proceedings, and if it happens, the Immigration Court will look at the case a bit differently and consider the hardship the deportation would inflict on you (and on your children if you will have them by that time). If you decide to follow this suggestion, remember that: a) the filing of a Form I-130 petition or even its approval do not give your wife any legal status or rights in the U.S.; b) even with an approved I-130 petition, she can be deported; c) after you receive a notice that I-130 Immigrant Petition was approved, do not file an adjustment of status application Form I-485 - it will be denied, and your wife will be placed in removal proceedings; at that point, ask an immigration attorney to handle the case with the National Visa Center to prevent it being discarded as abandoned.

Can consulate require a cosponsor when current income is more than 2 times poverty guidelines?

Kevin L. Dixler
Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
If a consular official has a reasonable belief, even if unsubstantiated, that you or your beneficiary are disqualified, then the State Department can demand more evidence. Currently, there is a good chance that she was tentatively denied based upon INA Section 221(g). You really need to decide whether you can afford an competent and experienced attorney, let alone, petition your wife. You will likely need a joint sponsor. There may be other unmentioned complications Good luck.
