Hello and thanks in advance any input is highly appreciated
I am permanent legal resident, it will be 5 years in Feb 2010 (will apply in Dec 2009)
My spouse: Illegal currently, legally arrived to US and overstayed
we have a 2 year old child
We applied for adjustment of status for her I-130 in august 2006, case still pending in Vermont center.
that is my situation, my questions are as follows:
1. Can she get a V-visa until I apply for her as a Us citizen? (it has been 3 -years)
2. Is there anything else similar in the law that will give her ability to work and meanwhile and
3. If I-130 is processed before I become a citizen, will the fact that she has been illegal all this time have a negative effect
and Finally
4.If nothing happens and we have to wait until I become citizen is it better to "upgrade" the application or file a new one? and will then her illegal status adversely effect the outcome
Thank you very much, I very much appreciate your help.
Balki
