Can I switch a B visa to a K while in the US?

Justin Wang
Answered by attorney Justin Wang (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Sheppard Mullin
You cannot get K visa in the US. You will have to go to the US consulate to apply for K visa after CIS approves the K-1 petition). It will take about 4-5 months and in the meantime you may stay in the US if you are permitted by CBP to stay here (under B visa or under VWP). Make sure you do not marry her before you receive theK visa and come in under the K1 visa.

USCIS sent my green card on the wrong address. Now I dont want to pay fee for the replacement. It was not delivered back but its their fault. Advice

In looking over the I-90 form, there is no category to check off for a person to complain that U.S.C.I.S. made an error in mailing the card to the wrong address. The difficulty is that an application like yours could be automatically rejected by the cashier as not having the required fee. That being said, you could try to check off Part 2, Section A, 2.b that “My previous card was issued but never received”, and attach a letter of explanation with proof if you have not already done so. The other option of course is to pay the filing fee.

How does a green card holder apply F2A visa for wife or should wait for US citizenship?

Olesia Gorinshteyn
Answered by attorney Olesia Gorinshteyn
Immigration lawyer at Gorinshteyn Global, LLC
Yes, your husband can file a petition on your behalf but waiting time depends on USCIS processing times as well as Department of State Visa Bulletin. You are right about F2A being current for August 2013. It means that everybody who has an approved relative petition may apply for green cards right away without waiting in line for their priority date because this date is current for everybody. It is important to know your current immigration status in the U.S. If you are out of status, wait until your husband becomes a U.S. citizen before filing for anything. In order to obtain more precise information it is strongly recommended to seek formal advice from an immigration attorney who can guide you through your situation.
