You really need to consult a lawyer on this. There are many variables involve than you might not think would matter at the moment. It's in the details. Therefore, consulting a lawyer and giving him all the personal information pertaining to your case is important.

Right now, one thing I can think of is how sure you are that your AOS would be approved? Approval of AOS is not automatic, esp. if filed in less than 60 days upon arrival and on Visitor's Visa. There's a possibility that it could be denied if filed that early and there are also reports that even those who filed within the 60-90 days range are still not guaranteed of AOS approval if there are other things found that would make them to deny the AOS petition. The details count.. so definitely consult a lawyer.

This piece of news is very encouraging. Seems that both parties are showing signs that they are willing to make some compromises with each other even before the debates are started in May. Even more encouraging is the report that the Senate will vote on it on the same month. If and ever, they do vote on it in May and there are no hinges on a compromised bill between the two houses then President Bush may be signing the final CIR Bill even earlier than August.

Talk to your immigration attorney. Start there since they are very familiar with your file.

Best of luck to you on your new marriage.

if one is married to a US citizen and cant wait for the retrogression to end, i would STRONGLY suggest filing for I-130 and I-485 (AOS) as there is no retrogression in place for that category.....you will also receive your EAD and Advance Parole in case you need to work and travel abroad.....

if everything is legit, why wait for retrogression to end? forget about your approved I-140....congrats to your marriage :balloons:

even if someone studied in the US, AOS can still be denied

Hi, JonRNMD, Lawrence! Will the filing of the I-140 (following the 60-90 day rule) concurrent with the AOS be dependent on the principal's I-94 or the derivative's? The principal completed the 90+ days before filing but the children and spouse just followed after 60 days (so their I-94 date will be more recent). Will it affect the AOS approval of the derivatives? Anyone who can answer this, please? Thanks!
