Help with my I-539(Adjustment of non-immigrant status)

[cantofla 44]

The Kaplan Institute of 'higher learning' immediately came to mind, as it is an I-20 factory, issuing these to anyone who brings a valid check to their doors...this 'institute' was (likely still is) one of the most common destinations for mind-changing B2 visa holders, often those who married an LPR and were looking for a 'bridge' with which to remain in the US with their new LPR spouse (and sometimes USC spouses).....I think Kaplan had special telephones at airports, installed in the baggage claim area, so newly arriving 'tourists' could call right away (3 seconds after the 10 seconds it took them to change their minds!) and sign up for anything, just to get an I-20.

LOL!!!!! I laughed so hard at this. Mainly cause it's mostly true sadly

Hi Elf,

thank you for your reply, I fully understand that providing false information especially towards the US government is a BIG mistake. And I don't have any intentions on doing so.

My application for adjusting to a student visa is primarily focused to gain more education while being with my wife. Pursuing quality education that can contribute to the success of my career is my main priority. Being with my wife while pursuing more education is just a incentive for me.

I appreciate your helpful input, and I will make sure to tell every bit of truth on my application.

Thanks again.

Markik, if your primary goal was to get a good education whilst being with your wife, then you should have applied for an AoS. what you have done now is quite risky and expensive. after marriage you should have applied for I-485 and I-765. this would have helped you get green card and work permit. Once you get the green card, it is cheaper to apply for a univ course. Also, even if your visa is valid only till Jan 2016, you will not be deported if you had applied for the I-485 based on marriage!

Hoping the process you have chosen works for you!

No. They cannot apply for AOS until a visa number is available. And they are in the F2A category (spouse of permanent resident) so there is a wait for visa numbers.
