Hi, i really need a immediate help

I am a US citizen living in the US and I am planning to marry. My question is do i have to apply greencard for my spouse to get him a working and living permit or will just applying adjustment of status enough? If do i have to apply greencard to get a working permit for him do i have to show last years tax returns? I will be working for 3-4 months when we get married. What should i do? My foreign properties will be counted as a financial support to sponsor my spose? I really need your help.

Thana in advance

**** Moving from CR-1 spousal visa to AOS from Tourist visa ****

It is immigration fraud to enter the USA with a tourist visa with the intention of staying. If this was a change of plans AFTER he entered the USA, you may follow this Guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Note

Inevitably many people do make this choice AFTER entering the US.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

So can we apply greencard for him next year as soon as i can get my tax papers and during this time can he get working and living permission? Or there is no way that he can get those permissions without immigrant visa?

Thanks

Lost of options, have you read the Guides?

Op: You are mixing up terms and ideas. It's hard to give advice with so much mix up.

Adjustment of Status IS getting a Greencard. It is not a visa, it is going from whatever non-immigrant visa you have directly to Permanent Resident status.

The GC gives the person the right to work and travel by itself, though you can apply for a stop-gap employment authorization.

You have to show that you can financially sponsor the immigrant, look at the form I=864. If you cannot sponsor him/her you can get a co-sponsor that can.

All of this costs $1490 + a medical exam.

If all this stuff seems too daunting to figure out, then I suggest a lawyer to help you.

Ops it is too confusing. Briefly, i cant sponsor him because i do not have tax docements from last year because i have been working only for a couple of months. And i can not find a co sponsor. I want to learn that if i have to apply greencard for him as soon as we get married in order to get a living and working permits. Or is there any other ways to get them? Will only marrying a US citizen is enough to get those permits?

You don't have to apply right away but if you don't, he will not be able to work, he will be here illegally, and will be deportable at any time.

For the financial sponsorship, they usually go by current income, so if you are working and make over the required amount, you may be a suitable sponsor.

It sounds like you are working on rumor if you think you must have been working for 3 years. What about contacting a lawyer?

Thanks everyone one. I really dont know what to do :(:crying:

I thought that he can get working permit by applying after we get marry and then we can apply green card as soon as I am able to obtain tax documents when they are ready. Can any of you recommend me something please ?

I have been working for a couple of months :( by the way how about my properties in a foreign country? will they be counted as financial requirements?

There is nothing else, unless he wants to try for his own work visa visa sponsorship from a US employer.

You are still confused about the tax documents. Oh well, I tried.

I think she wants to know if she can apply for Ap/EAD and only later on, when she has the taxes, apply for AOS (aka green card). The answer is no.

You can get married, apply for a spouse visa (different process)/your husband has to leave after his tourist visa expires/at home he will undergo an interview at the embassy/be issued a spouse visa/come back to the US and get his green card within the first weeks of being here. That would carry the advantage that it takes a while, almost a year, so you can make your money status more solid.
