Subject: UK married to US in US - advice appreciated, Posted on: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 02:47:07 +0000 (UTC)

Hello all;

I have not posted on this board before so i hope everything goes ok,
... i would very much appreciate any help and advice anyone has to
offer.

My and my wife have known eachother for 8 years, for the past 2 years i
have been visiting her in the USA (VWP) every month and a half or so
for about 1 month each time. I have never overstayed or borken any
immigration laws.

In January we got married in the USA, i have now returned to the UK
within 90 days and plan to going back in March to file the packet for
adjustment of status. I am expecting to stay in March for a few months
while my application is pending. I have been told by an Immigration
officer i spoke to vis InfoPass that i could get a greencard within 3
months of filing provided i do it in the USA, can anybody relate to
this as it seems too good to be true??

Also, if i immediately apply for work aurthorisation with the rest of
forms in March when will i get the work authorisation? WIll it be
before or after my initial petition is approved? Does anyone know if
its best to mail the forms or take them to the local immigration centre
in the USA?

I am more concerned with getting my work authorisation than the green
card as it will let me find work, get a SSN and earn money.

Any help would be very much appreicated, i need it and would be very
grateful.

Thanks, ...
