What are my options in getting a permanent residency after I got married to a US citizen?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
It is best to file the I-130 and I-485 and all supplemental forms and documents in one package called one-step. As long as you can show a legal entry and that you are not subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement then I would apply right away to get your work permit and get back into a legal status. If married less than two years when you are approved then it will be a 2 year PR card called conditional residency. It is not worth the risk though to be out of status for another year to wait to file. If you want a quote on representation you may contact me at the email above.

The worst-case scenario is that Immigration may be monitoring flights to and from the mainland and may single you out, question you, and put you in immigration proceedings. You might ultimately be able to gain some form of relief from the agency, assuming that you are married with your fiancée and she petitions for you, but you may have an uncomfortable time during the entire process.
