My husband is Canadian, and we have been living in Germany. He has been offered a job in the U.S. and we do not think we want to stay there longer than 1-2 years. The visa through his job would be in the H category.

Is he eligible for this, or will they ask for proof he intends to leave again? Does anyone know if he even has to disclose his marriage to a USC when applying for this?

Concurennt I-130 and I-485 sent 1/14/09

Delivered to Chicago lock box 1/16/09

NOA received for I-130, I-131, I-485, I-675 1/30/09

ASC/Biomentrics Appointment notice 2/2/09

Biometrics Completed (earlier than appointment date) 2/5/09

Received Request to Appear for Interview 3/1/09

Interview date will be 4/2/09

E-mail received stating that Work Authorization and Advanced Parole are approved 3/2/09

Received Advance Parole documents 3/5/09

Received Employment Authorization Card 3/10/09

Attended Interview 4/2/09

Received Welcome Letter 4/13/09

I believe the H1B visas are dual intent.

"Dual intent" implies that a person may choose to return to the home country or may choose to move into permanent residency (or immigrant) status in the US. One may not need to "prove" the intention to return home after program completion.

If there is a question asked whether he is married to a US citizen, of course he has to say "yes", else, only answer what's asked. He doesn't have to tell them anything not asked, if it's asked, honesty is the best policy.
