Dear Adviser!
I arrived to the states with exchange visitor visa a few years ago. I overstayes. I want to get marry with an U.S citizen , who is retired.
My questions are:
Does it matter in our case he is retired and financially might not able to reach over the poverty line?
After we married , how long does it take until I get work permit an SSN? (I heard of something like in 90 days I have to get it.)
Does it matters I plan to work with an New Yorker lawyer but we will live in Nevada ? or is it much better , - shorter time - without mailing??
Because my overstayed status, is it strongly adviced to have a lawyer or at the immigration offices are able to help with all the paperwork?
My other question : one of my friend got married, everything went smooth but before the interview they had an car accident and his husband died. What might happen with her now? She is very depressed cause lost of him and very confused with her status. Can the Office deny her card?
thank you
regards,
Rozen
