French citizen + married in USA

[Kham Ko 0]

Hi everybody,

Would somebody give me a right route to follow about how to adjust my status.

I'am a french citizen, got married here in the States a month ago and planing to start my paper Work here, i looked up the steps and it seems there is different ways and don't know which way to take to avoid waste of time.

Even though i'am allowed to stay just three month (French citizen) but since i am going to file I-130,i ll be ok since there is a pending case. Do you Guy agree with me? 

Thanks a lot in advance

Nothing is quick with USCIS and your green card might take a year or two with a CR1.

Are you saying that you want to stay and adjust status? Did you enter the US with that intention? If so, entering the US to get married and adjust status is FRAUD and has serious consequences. What visa did you use to enter?

If you want to adjust status you have to file I-130 (plus I-130A), I-485, and I-864. It's also a good idea to submit I-131 and I-756. File them all at the same time.

Submitting I-130 only does not give you the right to stay here. However, once you have submitted I-485 you are in a period of authorized stay until your case is approved. If your spouse is not a US citizen. This is all assuming your spouse is a US citizen. If they are not, the rules are slightly different.

We hear similar stories almost every day. Is your husband a US citizen or not?

You can file for adjustment of status. Here’s a detailed guide and all the forms and supporting documents you will need:

Good morning 

how likely the travel autorisation is to be given while filing along with forms I130,i485,I468 ?

[milimelo 4,553]

If you don’t file for it you won’t get it. Free to file with I-485. Same for EAD.
