Topic1 green card

green card

Hi,

I came US at B2 Visitor Visa in July 2010. I got married with an US citizen in october and a week latter I filed for green card, means my wife applied I-130 and I applied I-485 and I-765. I got receipt from USCIS that my application is accepted and after one and half month I went through Boimetric.

I want to know that my I-94 is going to expire in january and I have not received letter for green card interview yet, in this situation what should I do. Am I eligible to stay here if my I-94 expires and I do not get letter for interview until then? Or I sholuld apply for Visa Extention?

Authentic reply would be appreciated...

Thanks!
Amit

You will be fine as long as you do not travel out of the USA until you receive the green card in the mail. It does not matter if your I 94 expires, and you do not need to apply for Visa extension. But It is important that you DO NOT TRAVEL ABROAD.

The OP has never been out of status or overstayed and can travel anytime with a AP with no problems.
With a pending I-485 any overstay after I-94 expiration is protected.

Amit Also be prepared to explain the change of intent from the time you claimed the Visitor status to adjust status as a LPR.
If they suspect you that you had the intention all along to come to US under false pretense and got married they could deny the I-485 and ask you to get Consualr processing, go in there well prepared.
