:help: I'm new to this site and was hoping someone could help me out a little. My husband is from Morocco and is here on a student visa. We were married last month just after his OPT expired. He was told that he only has 60 days after the expiration date to figure out what he is going to do. We have just begun to fill out the I-130 and get all of our stuff together. If he goes out of status will he be able to stay here since we are already legally married? I was under the assumption that after he is married his visa is no longer good as a student visa and he needs to apply for adjustment in status, which we are about to do. I'm wondering if his is in a limbo stage and if he will be able to stay here in the USA while everything is getting processed. I don't think I can do everything if he has to go back. Can someone answer my questions or direct me somewhere it might say what happens? Please help!

To the best of my knowledge, If you are a U.S citizen, and you apply while his visa is valid, he doesnt have to go back.

Also, just becuase he is married he doesnt automatically loses his student visa.

Basically the same process everybody else goes through but you do not need a Visa to get in.

But he is possibly out of status and potentially deportable so file asap and get him back in status for sure.

I take it his I-94 had d/s on it?

I would not risk the AP.

Maybe a small risk, but....
