IS SHE LEGAL?

[vizaviz 0]

I married my foreign born spouse while she was legally in the US with a valid J-1 Visa/I-94.

We have submitted all of the required documents for her adjustment of status (AOS) and received the NOA-1's as receipt (I-130, I-765 and I-485). I realize that the NOA-1 probably has no legal power, however, her J-1 and I-94 will expire in about 30 days and I was wondering if at that point she will be considered "illegal" and pending deportation? Has anyone else been in this situation before????

Also, our receipts numbers are not recognized on the USCIS website and I HAVE entered them correctly. I've read that this can take up to 4 weeks to "enter" the system - when should we start to worry (if at all)?

Thanks!

I wouldn't consider most K1 visa holders in the position of coming on a J1 visa

but I do see that you are likely referring to the expired I-94

If you applied for Adjustment of Status, I think she is OK.

She's ok AND in exactly the same status as a K1 filing AOS....PROVIDED....there's no home stay requirement noted on her J1 visa.

Nope, there is a section on her original J-1 which is checked off as "no 2-year requirement" so I am pretty sure it does not apply to her.

Then you are cool brother. Best of luck!

She is not illegal. Her status - AOS pending.

I also had J1 visa, but I was out of status when I got married. So I have the same status.

Also, our receipts numbers are not recognized on the USCIS website and I HAVE entered them correctly. I've read that this can take up to 4 weeks to "enter" the system - when should we start to worry (if at all)?

Don't worry. Sometimes it happens.
