A mud room is basically a small entryway where the kids come in the house and leave all their muddy stuff so they don't trash the house! Too small for a Twister tournament!!

that's not at all what i had in mind!!!

a very clever idea though!!

wow, the mud room was something *completely different* in my imagination

You're both sick, pervy women! Just cos its a mud room doesn't make it dirty

Complete change of subject - but if someone is in the US from the UK on a work visa and they are getting married to a USC - can't they just apply for AOS?

Mum's friend's son is in the US working and apparently they are going through a lawyer :eyeroll: who is saying this isn't the case!!

Yes, no problem at all.

Perhaps he needs to get a new lawyer?

I have a friend who I believe did just that. They should definitely get a different lawyer. This is who my friend used (located in NY), if you want to pass it on:

So long as the original intent upon arrival was not for marriage, then AOS is no problem whatsoever. tell them to save a few thousand bucks and apply for AOS without a lawyer. In fact, send them a link to this website!!

I like your advice better.

Wow, I never fail to be surprised at just how useless lawyers can be. It's really gobsmacking.

Immigration is an area where there are pretty well laid down guidelines, imagine how ####### they would be in the hazy area of finding relavent precedent, or laws which are open interpretation.

Oh dear this is so funny!! Mum actually gave her friend the website address for here!! I said he could have paid me to tell him what to do and as soon as she mentioned lawyer I said it was a waste of money!! Apparently it is complicated though...

My theory is it is only complicated because they have a lawyer telling them he needs a visa... uh... hello?! He already *has* a visa - that's why he can work there!!!

Oh dear - we are all visa nerds

[*julez* 124]

I embrace my nerdiness!!

Anyhow, its not that tough to adjust from an H visa. They need to complete and pay for the i-130 and pay for and complete the AOS stuff concurrently.
