clarification

[Rcmorr09]

Hello everyone,

I would just like to clarify my understanding of what I have read/heard about the I-485.

I just got married a month ago to a wonderful woman from Belgium, and we want to get her status adjusted.

My question is this... She has entered the country legally on a 6 month visitors visa which will expire sometime next month. Now if we file the I-485 after her visa has expired will this be a problem? Now if we hurry and get all the forms and stuff done before her visa expires, there will be no way to get approved before next month anyway, is this a problem?

From what I understand as long as the person has entered the country legally then there is no problem if the visa is expired, when I say no problem I mean like they wont deny the paper work on that ground. I understand she can't go back to belgium or any other country for a visit or anything.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

well i should say u can go ahead and file the paper work before her visa expires it will not be a problem and she acn stay here since her 485 will be pending....and if u wait till her visa expires and file 485 some questions may arise at the interview nad if u can justify those...good enough

but i would say dont wait till she gets out of status for filing her 485 u never know laws change everyday.

all the best
