Most VJ members will advise not to use attorneys or "rapid" visa services, as they tend to make the process longer and are prone to mistakes since they don't really care about much except taking your money.  Read the guides here on V J for adjustment of status and things should be find doing the process without attorneys unless there are complications like visa overstays or deportation orders to overcome.  Good luck!

Thank you. I advised them not to use an attorney too because I don't see any complications. She was just wondering about the 10 years age difference.

May I ask what the rush to get married is? The boyfriend is still in status if he is attending school. Is the pressure coming from him?

The pressure is coming from him. He is still in status. My sister wants to wait till April so they can gather more evidence before they get married.

Sounds like your sister should evaluate this relationship and it's validity.

April isn't that far away---why the pressure to do it sooner?  When does his schooling end, I wonder?

The relationship is genuine. 

Maybe, but it’s always a red flag when the person who stands to gain the immigration benefit is the one exerting time pressure for no apparent real reason. Your sister’s reasoning to wait till April (at least) makes sense. 

 

Sorry if I’m being cynical, but I have seen so many people here who believe they are in a genuine relationship get dropped once their new spouse has a green card. It doesn’t sound like they’ve been together that long, if she is worried about evidence of a genuine relationship. The thing that makes the most sense is to take it slow and build up plenty of evidence so that there is very little doubt of the relationship being genuine by the time of interview.

My guess is the pressure is on because he cannot think of a quicker/easier way to remain in the US under some sort of authorized stay after the end of his student visa.

 

That's why I'm curious as to when his educational program is up...

 

Or, he's fallen completely and utterly head-over-heels in love with her and cannot wait to marry.  There's that possibility, too, I guess.

 

We tend to see the other one more frequently around here---perhaps VJ has jaded many of us.

So then really why the rush, unless he wants to drop out of school which hopefully isn’t the case? Plenty of time for them to plan a wedding. 

They both will be in their last years in Med school.
