SO here is my situation last November, 2007 I filed for IR-1/CR-1, still not approved. In the meantime my now wife received a G-4 visa to work here in the United States. How do I go about converting my paper work to some sort of Green Card/ AOS and lose my filing fees?

Is a G visa a dual intent visa?

Its a Governmental Visa for like World bank, UN etc.

Unless it is a dual intent visa, I would be hesitant to suggest to you to adjust status from it, as it might appear that you are using a non-immigrant visa to circumvent the immigrant process, considering you have an active I-130 since late last year...

Ofcourse she stated she is married even changed her name....Governmental organizations have lots of pull when you have a request from them to issue a visa.

She got a job here....we had no intent to circumvent the process. She went back home to get her visa too.

We are not the ones that would ever need to be convinced of that.... The presumption is that you did and you would be required to dispell that presumption... Yes, in immigration land, you are guilty until proven innocent....
