My husband's H1 visa is due to expire in Nov 2004 completed 6 years. He has applied for his GC in 2002. We are still in the first stage of Labour in GC. Will he get an extension for another year of H1 visa if we apply for it. Our daughter is an American citizen. Can we get an extension of visa status based on her.
Answer:
If he had applied for the labor and if it is pending for more than a year, your husband is eligible for the 7th year extension. If your USC daughter is 18+ she can sponsor you for permanent residency. If she is a baby, unfortunately nothing can be done now.

Hello,
I am presently working in USA with H1-B Visa status. I have filed for GreenCard and expect to get it in next 3-4 years. I know I can get my parents to visit me for a period of up to 6months on visitor visa.
I want to know if there exist a way to get them to permanently stay with me. I am the only child they have. If yes please tell me the details.
Thanks,
Ramu

Unfortunately till you become a citizen you cannot file for your parents permanent residency and they cannot stay with you permanently. They can get only visitor visa and can only stay here for a max of 6 months with a possible extension of another six months.

Question:8
I wish you well, my question is one that I haven't been able to find an answer as of yet. Me and my girlfriend (who is 49) are engaged to marry, she is here on a work visa and has been here for over 2 years, however the company that sponsered her is closing down, we want to marry as soon as possible but are concerned over the visa situation as she will become unemployed, her sposorship for working is $3,000, she is from Venezuela and to find someone to pay for a new sponsorship is near to impossible. She has been offered a job elsewhere but they won't pay for her sponsorship. What paperwork do we have to do once we are married and to change her status? She does not want to go back to her country, can she work for the othe rcompany without a work visa?
We are just wanting to keep everything legal as well as get married without the fear that she may have to leave.
Thank you in advance, Ron Price

Question:12
A RELATIVE WANTS ME TO GIVE HER MY W-2 INCOME TAX FORMS, SS# CARD, D.L., AND U.S. PASSPORT AND ALSO TO WRITE A NOTARIZED LETTER STATING I AM FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HER; ALL THIS BECAUSE SHE GOT AN APPOINTMENT TO RECEIVE HER RESIDENT ALIEN CARD ON 2/8/04. IS THIS A FAIR PETITION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE WOULD NEED MY PLEDGE?? I SAID NO, BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE REQUIREMENTS. SHE ALREADY LIVES HERE IN THE U.S.
Answer:
Your friend is requesting you for a joint sponsorship. It is required that she shows that her income is above the poverty line so that she/her family member doesn’t become responsibility of the state. If the income is below the poverty line, she is required to provide a joint sponsor to make sure that someone else would support her/family in case she is not able to do that. You have to decide if your want to support her or not.
