I am here in USA on H-4 Visa (Dependent of an Non-immigrant Worker).
My Husband is having H-1B Visa which is valid upto Aug 2005.
My Mother has just become US Citizen. If My mother files I-130
(petition
for Alien Relative), it will take about 6 to 7 years for me to become
permenant resident.

Is there any other way by which this period can be shortend..?

Is there any advantage for me being in US..?

Is there any way I can get some kind of staus in US and I don't have
leave US when our visa period is over ..?

Can I Apply for I-485 (Adjustoment of Status)

How 245(I) will Help me ..?


Thanks in Advance.

Why don't you and your husband apply for the green card through his employer?

Can I Apply for I-485 (Adjustoment of Status)

On what basis? Is your husband's employer going to sponsor him for a green
card?

Doesn't help you

I am also being thourgh same situation. I really do not want others to
come on H4 visa. INS does not issue social security and no leagal
permit to work. It really sucks.



by the way what are you doing sonal? Are you got bored?
