  • Layoff after filing marriage based I485

    Dear all,

    This is a tricky one! I came to the U.S. on an employment based E1-Visa and met my wife over here almost 2 years ago. We were planning on getting married this September until I found out I was getting laid off at the end of July. I had 10 days to leave the country, so we decided to get married before I was out of status. We filed I485, I130, I765 and I already got my EAD.
    We are living together, have a joint bank account, tons of pictures, etc so we can prove a bona fide marriage. My question is what are our chances for getting my Greencard, since it looks like we only got married so I can stay in the U.S.?

    What should we say at the immigration interview?

    Would you recommend professional help by hiring an immigration attorney?

    Thanks for your help.

    Bill, on the surface this looks like you should get solid legal advice. Read thru some of the experiences of other forum members to get a feel of how marriage based GC interview are conducted.
    Best of luck.
