  • Can my wife go on a cruise?

    My recent wife has applied for adjustment of status on a J1 Visa through marriage of a US Citizen. She came here on a J-1 Visitor and married during her stay. We have our receipt confirmation and we have done the biometrics already and we are waiting for a response for approval. However, during this possibly, very long wait, i would like to take my wife on a cruise. Her actual Visa is valid, but her status is not because it expired, but she is in process now but obviously it could take months until she gets her EAD. We are able to get her state I.D. by showing our receipt for the papers in process. Just want to make sure before i buy a cruise. Thought I could get some clarification on here! If you need any more information let me know! thanks in advance!

    I am not familiar with J-1 visa but I would say no to the cruise if it is international. Just because she has a Visa does not mean that she can leave the country. This is just my opinion. But even if she was allowed to go on a cruise, I would not because you never know when an unexpected RFE or interview might happen.

      If she has received Advance Parole then it should be okay.

      This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.

        Unless she has received one outside of the AOS process, I highly doubt she has one. Also her EAD card hasn't been received.

          I would not risk travel. Anything can happen.
