When is the latest we can wait to file if I am within the 5th month of my first H1B?

Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
In general, it is never too early to start the green card process. We generally recommend to our clients that they commence the green card process by not later than the middle of the fourth year when they have the H1B visa in order that they can take advantage of the extensions that are available under the American competitiveness in the 21st-century act. If you wait until the beginning or middle of the fifth year of your H1B then there may be some issues depending upon the amount of time that you can recapture on your H1B visa. Please note that this information is not legal advice and is provided merely as a courtesy in response to your email question to our office. If you require an a valuation that is specific to your particular circumstances, please feel free to contact our office and schedule initial consultation and one of our lawyers will be happy to assist you.

Can I marry a woman who's visiting on a tourist visa?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Although not mentioned in your question, I assume you are a U.S. Citizen. Generally, a U.S. Citizen may marry someone who entered the U.S. with a visitor's visa, and then sponsor her in the "Immediate Relative" visa category so the foreign national spouse may "adjust status" to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). If the marriage takes place and the petitioning begins fairly soon after the foreign national entered the U.S. with a visitor's visa, however, then the USCIS may suspect "visa fraud" - entering with a visa that is exclusively for people who intend to stay temporarily and then return abroad, while actually intending to become married and stay permanently. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney to learn all of the relevant information about the foreign national and the plans to marry, in order to be able to advise about eligibilities, options and strategies, and to assure that the adjustment of status process is handled properly and is fully documented. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
