If your wife reports you, your visa will be cancelled for lying and you will be deported. There's no question about that. Lying on a visa application form is always grounds for refusal.\n\nAnd yes, they keep track of your verbal answers, too, which means you lied twice: once on paper and once in the verbal interview. But once is enough to get yourself sent home.

B1/B2 (visitor visa) change of status to H1B(employment visa) is possible but beware that you must prove to the USCIS that your original intent when you came to the US was not to change status (i.e. you had legitimate reasons to come to the US as a visitor and didn't come there to look for a job)\n\nIf you are eligible to apply for H1B (must have bachelor degree and work experience), you need an H1B sponsor (employer) to file a Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (USCIS Form I-129) with required supporting documents like copy of your educational certificates, passport, experience etc. You can start working for your employer ONLY after your H1B approval. If your application is denied, you will receive a letter that will tell you why the application was denied.

The normal rule is conditional LPR status must be converted by both parties requesting removal of the condition. There are two exceptions that apply here. If the marriage doesn't make it, you can still have the condition removed as long as you can show it was a real marriage from the start. Alternately, and more germane here, you can self-petition to have the condition removed if you were abused in the marriage. Failing to make it through the two year conditional period DOES NOT, by itself, render you ineligible to get the full green card.\n\nThere's a decent overview of the battered spouse self-petition process at:\n\nhttp://www.womenslaw.org/immigrantsVAWA.htm#28\n\nYou can file the I-751 petition at any time after you get conditional LPR status - you do NOT have to wait until the 90 day period before the second anniversary. From the form I-751 instructions:\n"Filing with a request that the joint filing requirement be waived. - You may file this petition at any time after you are granted conditional resident status and before you are removed."

Yes, I am going through a similar situation. Your question has really scared me.  April 05?!? My husband, from Mexico, just applied in September of this year.  Was your wife in the country illegally or is she currently? That would delay things, right?

my passport, with my previous US & UK, Spain, France visa stamps. barely managed to get a new one on time, but US did not give me a visa because it showed i had no prior visa stamps on my passport and that i had just got a duplicate passport made. \n\ni could only go meet my fiancee after one whole year because of this.\n\nthings soured in the interim due to the distance and shortly after reaching US we broke up. i am still single.

You asked this question as "Monsoon05" and also as "Jk" - so you are still pretty good at lying and playing games with the system.  Do you think the answer will change?\n\nWhen people write to complain that they can't get a visa to come to the US, or there are long delays in their cases, it is because of people like you who have intentionally lied to get some sort of immigration benefit from the US government.\n\nYou lied that you were not married so it would be easier to get an H1b visa, then you bought a fraudulent marriage certificate to support your claim, then you applied for your wife to come to the US and now she is leaving you and you are afraid of your past deeds - good! You are an example of everything that is wrong with our immigration system - the loop holes and technicalities that are exploited by citizens of other countries, who then enter the US and lie again to get other benefits to which they are not entitled, then cheat on their taxes, so that someone else is paying for everything. In this case, I hope for nothing more, or less, than karma.

Good luck with that.  Legally, all a former employer can confirm is dates of employment.  Anything else will violate EOE standards.  But, proving something was said will be impossible as neither side would have any reason to fess up to any in depth conversation.

Without knowing your particular details, there is no way I could give you a proper answer. You ought to check out the immigration website for more information.\nThat said, what I can tell you is this: please make sure your paperwork is complete. Any missing information will slow things down and may even raise some suspicions no matter how unwarranted. Also, it can be very tiring having to wait for what seems like ever and so the temptation to phone immigration to try and find out the status of your file is everpresent. A few friends of ours who have undergone this process have told us not ever to phone immigration on a regular basis as they do not appreciate having people bug them. Government is usually slow but they do get the job done as quickly as they can.

I would suggest that you look carefully at your H.O.A. documentation.  You may have given them "right of entry" to correct things that you don't want to correct.

In most cases, this is just the initial phase of the process.  If you aren't willing to put forth the effort, they figure they've just cut down the odds of the interview process going badly on the next phase.\n\nBe as honest as possible and work out the questions logically. \n\nThe deal here is, that they're gonna ask you many of the same questions that you answer on this application during the interview. They want to see if you're able to back up your answers on paper and verbally. If you can't, you're stuck.\n\nI've been through the process enough times to see it coming. But if you want the job and you know you can do the job, fill out the paperwork and get the job!!!\n\nOne final thing... those folks who say that these questions aren't legal don't seem to realize that you are always asked for your Date of Birth. Whether on paper or in the interview, you will be asked about your marital status. EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYMENT FORM WILL HAVE "Have you ever been convicted of a crime?" Most companies will investigate your past, because they have your Social security # on the form. You may decide not to give that information, but you won't get the job if you don't answer it.  Also, word of warning, most companies ask you for your last ten years of employment history. If you choose to leave one out or don't tell the truth about a previous job, you've just lost the job you're seeking. They are very strick now-a-days on employment background.\n\nGood Luck!

If you have an approved I-797 form, you can make an appointment for visa interview at the US Embassy to apply for your H1-B visa.  Here is the embassy's page which explains the application process:\nhttp://dubai.usconsulate.gov/dubai/gvi.html

You really need to contact the INS...that stuff needs to be filled out properly or you could be rejected. Unless it says "contact INS" don't rely on any answers here. Try one of these sites and contact them if you need help.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm

Check stubs, W-2s, or signed letter from you former boss on letterhead if possible.  If you got paid under the table and got fired under poor circumstances.... then it will be difficult to prove.

The consulate will give you a hard time in getting a B1 visa if you have already applied for an H1. I would recommend that you utilize the premium processing service to get your H1 adjudicated quickly, and then apply for the B1/B2 for a very temporary period (and be very specific as to dates). Since the H1B will not issue until October 1, you should be ok if you follow that route.

If you do this, you will be deemed as entering fraudulently which can not only lead to your H1B being denied, but also create significant problems with any future plans you may have with immigrating permanently. The fact that your F-1 is stamped in your passport is inconsequential -- the officer at the border can pull up your records (which indicate you have a petition pending), and then it would snowball downhill from there.\n\nYou need to wait until your H1B is approved, then you may leave, apply for the H1B visa stamp at the U.S. consulate in your home country, and then re-enter without a problem. \n\nGood luck
