Can my employer file for a green card when I have a B2 status?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
Be careful! You cannot work on a B-2. Also DHS does not like it when you change to B-2 when your actual intent is to again change to an H. This can be construed as fraud/misrep- a serious offense. An employer can start the three step green card process for you if you are in or out of the US regardless of status. That is a different issue.

Can my wife still file for me while in immigration proceeding and I’m found to be inadmissible?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If you do not have any criminal convictions, communicable diseases, history of immigration law violations, or national security reasons for inadmissibility (in other words, if the only reason why you were found to be inadmissible was your falling out of your F1 status), then your wife can file an immigrant petition for you, and you do not need a waiver. Your marriage will be subjected to a very harsh scrutiny, but, if you prove that it is a real marriage, you should be able to adjust status and receive a green card.

Can I apply for US citizenship five years from the date of my entry to the US, not five years from the date of issuance of my green card?

Answered by attorney David H Stoller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Stoller & Moreno, P.A.
Thanks for your inquiry. The date that is used to count the time to obtain the necessary period of years for purposes of naturalization is the "resident since" date on your green card. If there is a problem with that date because of a miscalculation owing to someone at CIS not figuring out the right effective date of your residency, you want to make sure that you have that squared away before spending the money on the N-400 only to be told that you missed the deadline and filed too early. My recommendation would be a visit to an experienced attorney who should be able to straighten that out for you ahead of time and save the worry about submitting payment to CIS to process an application that will not be refunded if you did not calculate correctly. Good luck.
