Is same sex marriage allowed in the state?

Susan S Han
Answered by attorney Susan S Han (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Han Law Group Immigration Attorneys
Yes, California recognizes same sex marriages and USCIS will accept marriage-based green card applications as long as the marriage took place in a state that recognizes it, and assuming you are otherwise eligible to file.

Can I adjust my status in the US after I marry a green card holder?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
After you marry a green card holder he or she may file an I-130 petition for you which only gets you a place in line - this does not give you the legal right to remain here and it is important to continue to maintain status if you are in status now. You would be in the FB-2a category which is working on December 2008 cases for most countries (September 2008 for Mexican nationals). Once your spouse becomes a U.S. citizen or your Priority Date becomes current in the FB-2a category then you can adjust in the U.S potentially. If you are in status at the time you are eligible to file, then adjustment should be no problem. If you have failed to maintain status you should consult with an immigration lawyer to review your history and determine eligibility for adjustment, consular processing, eligibility for Sec. 245(i), waiver etc.

When would the Joint Sponsor Obligation begin?

Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Answered by attorney Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Immigration lawyer at Oltarsh & Associates, P.C.
Are you a US citizen? If you are, the wait will be about 6 or 7 month. If you are only a permanent resident, the wait is 2 1/2years, if your co-sponsor wants to speak to a lawyer he/she can call me but I charge for this.
