Question

Does my wife need to travel outside to obtain visa after I-130 approval?

Answer

Hi,

If your wife is presently in the U.S., and initially entered the U.S. legally (even if authorized stay has expired) she can file for adjustment of status within the U.S.: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm

You can call our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours, or email [email protected]/* */ for guidance.

Answer

Whether she can adjust status (get her green card while in the U.S.) depends on a number of factors. She must have entered the country with inspection and she must be an immediate relative. An immediate relative is a spouse, parent or child of a U.S. Citizen. Before filing for adjustment of status, she should also ensure that there are no grounds of inadmissibility that would prevent her from obtaining a green card.
