A lady is on valid B-2 Visa outside USA. Can after her marriage with a US citizen during her legal stay, she can get immigration by change of status

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Assuming that the lady entered the U. S. with a valid B-2 nonimmigrant intent, yet had a change of heart following her marriage to a U. S. citizen, she would be eligible to obtain an adjustment of status inside the U. S. Such action might be a consideration to an American consular officer in deciding whether to give her parents and brother visiting visas to the U. S., but consular officers are more concerned with situations in which related people enter the U. S. through sneaking in, fraud, or paying a smuggler. .

Do I need an attorney to guarantee that my adjustment of status is successful?

Answered by attorney Bruce A. Coane (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
No lawyer should be making any guarantees, but certainly it would typically be much better to have a board certified immigration lawyer. Doing those forms and reading the instructions is like dealing with a very complicated tax return.

Can you adjust your status from H2B to Immigrant?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
The problem with this scenario is that an H-2B must show they intend to return home at the end of their H-2B status and with a permanent resident or immigrant visa application you are indicating an intent to return. There are many different types of permanent residency processes to immigrate. Some can be completed very quickly and others take years to complete. Some require a showing of maintenance of status and some do not in order to adjust. Best would be to know more facts regarding what type of immigrant visa you are thinking about. If it is one of the shorter types of PR, then it may be possible to adjust while still in the U.S.
