  • Applying for Green Card based on marriage to US Citizen but entered on R1

    I'm currently living in the US having entered 14 months ago on an R1 Visa which expires June 2010. I got married 9 months ago to a US citizen and so I'm looking to file for AOS soon.

    I have 2 questions:

    1. Can I file for a green card (I-130 + I-485 etc.) based on being married to a US citizen even though I entered the US 14 months ago on an R1 visa?

    2. Is it a good idea for my wife start the green card process now by submitting I-130 + fee even though we won't be able to submit the I-485 for a while because we don't have all the fees yet?

    Thanks.
