    Default My Friend is Getting Married

    My jamaican friend is getting married next week to a girl he has been dating since before he got here in february. She is an american citizen already. He overstayed his nonimmigration visa. What does he have to do after he is married to her to gain residency. Also he has 2 children in Jamaica. What does he have to do to get them here with him.

    After your friend gets married, his wife needs to file for the I-130(petition for spouse), I-485(adjustment of status, b/c he overstayed) and I-765(work permit). When the visa is approved, she will then need to file an affidavit support (she needs 2 prove she can support her hubby and is above the poverty line> that is about $17, 000)You need to check the poverty line thing. Now after your friend gets his green card, he can file the I-130 for his children. Good luck!
