Hello,

Just went through the discussion board and there is a wealth of useful info. Was wondering if someone could answer my questions esp Q1. Thanks in advance for your assistance!!

Facts :
1.Husband is an LPR and has filed for citizenship in Jan 2006
2.Married in Jan 2006 in the US.
3.I (wife) am an Indian citizen and am currently in the US on valid B1/B2 visa, I94 expiring on 7th April 2006.
4. In the process of filing I-130 now.

Qusetion:
1.Are there any adverse consequences if i go out of status (overstay) at the time my husband files for I-485 (adjustment of status) for me when he gets his citizenship (expect to hear something by June)?
2.Can I travel after filing I-485 on advance parole? How safe is it?
3.Can I work after filing I-485?
4.When can i expect to be called for interview and finger prints after the I-485 is filed?
5.What is the time frame in which i get the green card from the date of interview & finger prints?

1.Are there any adverse consequences if i go out of status (overstay) at the time my husband files for I-485 (adjustment of status) for me when he gets his citizenship (expect to hear something by June)? NO.
2.Can I travel after filing I-485 on advance parole? How safe is it? Probably not a good idea. Not sure.
3.Can I work after filing I-485? YES.
4.When can i expect to be called for interview and finger prints after the I-485 is filed? The fingerprints appointment is usually 1-2 months after filing, interview - 6-7 months.
5.What is the time frame in which i get the green card from the date of interview & finger prints? If everithing is fine, you might get the stamp in your passport which replaces the Green Card, or get the Green Card in the mail within 2 months.

Correction:
You can work only after your EAD is approved.

If you overstayed, advice is to avoid travelling on AP as it might trigger the 3/10 year ban depending on how long you overstayed before you travel.

Correction:
You can work only after your EAD is approved. Of course (it shouldnt take long).
