    Default Visa-Holder Marriage to LPR

    In 2007 I legally entered the USA with an H1-B visa; good until 2010.
    In 2007, my husband (boyfriend at the time) became an LPR. He intends to apply for citizenship in 2011.
    In 2008, we married, had a child, and I moved locations in order to live together. My old work location is too far away (200 miles), so I must resign.
    Currently, I am seeking new employment and wish to get a new visa. I understand that if I resign, I will lose my current visa and face deportation.

    (1) What happens if I do not leave?
    (2) Is immigration lenient / understanding in this kind of situation?

    My husband has already filed an I-130 for me, but I understand this will take years to complete.

    (3) What options do I have, to try to remain legal, aside from an employment-based visa, which I'm already trying to do?

    (4) If I do leave, is there any kind of visa that will allow me to re-enter and live with my husband and baby? I do not care if I work or not. Stay-home mom, school, or work are fine with me.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    As you are already aware, you are subject to deportation.
    (2) Is immigration lenient / understanding in this kind of situation?
    No, they are not.

    It would be in your best interests to consult an immigration attorney immediately, on the chance that you are not able to obtain a new employment visa.
