    Default G2 Visa to TPS, to AOS Based on Marriage

    Hello,

    From browsing other topics in this forum, it has come to my understanding that for someone to be granted permanent residency through marriage depends on the the visa which they entered the country. What about this scenario: lawful entry in the US with a G2 visa? The visa then expired and the immigrant's status changed to TPS. The TPS expired in 04. Nevertheless, the immigrant has a valid SS number, although not recognized by the SSA as one for a permanent resident or citizen and a state issued ID (not from a state the does not require citizenship to obtain one).

    Is having a spouse petition for a change in status the only possible way for the immigrant to receive permanent residency, or can he himself apply alone?

    Thank you for you time.

    Are you asking if a person can adjust his status based on marriage without involving his spouse? No.

    Thank you for you response,

    That was one of the questions. I'm sorry if I was unclear in my post, but I was mainly asking what the chances are of someone with an expired g2 as well as an expired TPS being able to change his status to permanent resident through marriage.

    I remember somewhere in this forum it was said that people with a certain visa can't readjust their status with marriage. I'm simply inquiring if this is true for the G2 visa which is not as common as a tourist or f-1 visa.
