hey guys.......

I have friend , he has B1/B2 10 years visitor visa, he is here in usa, he met somebody here in usa and wants get married, but the problem is his girlfriend has green card, and 3 more years to get citizenship.

1.....so my question is if they get married,can her spouse apply for green card or work permit or not.......so he has to go back and wait for her ctizenship.

2....as she is RN nurse ,she got her green card on basis of direct nurse basis, she can apply for citizenship after 5 years, still 3 more years.

so what they have to do.......

thanks in advance......

You already asked this in another subforum - your friend can marry but he can not stay or get the work authorization. He has to go back to his home country and wait - typical wait time for LPR I-130 petition is 5 years. If his wife in the meantime becomes a USC she can update the petition and he will get in sooner.

Again, he can marry but has got to go home - he can not stay.

WRONG! The person can adjust directly from a B1/B2 if he marries the citizen. There is no going back. Laso he can get his work auth. , advance parole for travel before the AOS is approved.

Person is marrying a permanent resident, not a citizen. So milimelo is right.

Please but please, do READ the first post first before jumping in and answering wrongly.
