Hi! I’m new here and I was hoping you can guide me.
Me (USC) met my husband back in 2009 when I was studying french in Belgium. Decided to stay and we got married the following year.
Back in 2021, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer, and I had to make the difficult decision to come back to US with my daughter to care for him. I say “difficult” because my husband and I made the decision that he should stay (he has a great job and we own our home).
My parents never married and they broke up when I was a little girl and I’m their only child. (in case you are wondering why Im the sole caregiver)
I moved back to the States in August 2021, and I’ve been here since. My husband comes to visit us every 3 months or so.
My dad is estable and in good shape but my mental health is going down the drain: Im the sole caregiver, away from my home and my spouse. My husband came to visit us last week, but after seeing my current state (I have lost around 15 lbs)
he is refusing to go back.
As a matter of fact, he requested a paid leave and potentially working remotely for the time being. I don’t want him to overstay and mess with his ESTA, but I know as an USC I can file a petition for him.
Can we adjust his status from here? He didn’t have an intend of staying (he has come at least 5-6 times since I move here), but he refuses to leave my side and to be honest, I desperately need him.
can i file an i-485 without him having to leave?
