Re: i am a green card holber

Briefly, your answers are as follows:

1. As long as he is in legal status and his employment was not terminated, he can legally stay in the U.S. Upon termination, the employer is responsible for the costs of his return to his country.

2. If you plan to marry, you should file said paperwork to change status soon.

3. If you were a U.S. Citz. the preference category would change.

4. You could definitely benefit from legal counsel and I would suggest as much.

We can likely assist you with your case; however, we would have to gather more information regarding the facts of your case to evaluate your case thoroughly. Please contact us or email us at www.unalaw.com if we can be of further assistance.

Re: i am a green card holber

There are a lot of issues here which really require a private consult to sort out. The H-1b does not continue valid if the individual is out of work in that visa and thus, is here unlawfully. I strongly recommend you meet with qualified immmigration counsel to review this case in depth.

Re: i am a green card holber

Once you marry, she can get an EAD and you won't have to worry about maintaining the H-1B. Please feel free to contact me at info@myronmorales.com if you have additional questions.

Re: i am a green card holber

After you get married you have to file the spousal petition...then when his I-130 gets approved...I-485 has to be filed for his adjustment. You should get married ASAP...file for his petition...then as soon as you get your citizenship he will be at a higher preference category..apply for his adjustment. I have some potential employers for H1 B. He needs to stay here on a vaild visa..while waiting to be approved and adjusted.
