I came to the US via a K-2 visa 12 years ago. My father is K-1. He got married within 90 days and got us working permit. But before the adjust of status interview, my father and my stepmother separated and left the USA. I stayed and got married with an US citizen. Can my wife adjust my status within the USA or I have to do it through consular process with a waiver?

Hi, thanks for your response. That is what I thought. But I had a couple of lawyers suggest me do it within the US. They say that now the law has changed. Since 2011, if the K-1 got married within the 90 days, the K visa can adjust their status within the USA. Is that true? Does anyone have same experience?
