F2A (priority date September 2016)

[f.g 2]

PD: 09/29/2016

NOA2 : 08/31/2017 (Approval)

 

I am married to a green card holder, and I am on F1 visa (last semester), also will apply for OPT in February to maintain status.

My question, what is the steps required from me til my priority date became current?

And, could anyone predict when my priority date will be current?

Thank you

Hi f.g!

 

That is a good thing that you wrote in this forum, because actually, you are able to File Adjustment of Status (AOS), this is because the Filing Date right now, is NOV 01, 2016, you are actually able to apply right now your AOS package, and get a work permit and travel document while your documents get processed.

 

Even if your spouse is a Permanent Resident, you are able to. I hope you can start that part of the process right away, it would take around 4 months for the work permit, and you are actually able to remain in the US while you wait for the completion of your case. (But you can't leave the national territory until you get your travel document).

 

That's something you would have to discuss with your spouse and decide whether it is the best option for you two.

Yes, sure

What I am going to do is applying for my OPT first to be in the safe side, then when receiving it I will apply for AOS
