Are the immigration law varying? What are they in a minute?
A friend's husband is in the process of getting his residency here in the U.S.A but they are worried because of everything that is going on at the moment. They purely put in the application in February of this year. My friend is a U.S. citizen trying to obtain residency for her husband. Will it be a longer process than usual? Will it be difficult or not? What are the subsequent steps they will need to take after being approved? They're waiting for the approval at the moment. He did come within illegaly.
Answers:
It will be more difficult due to the fact he entered without inspection. Because of this, he will involve to return to his home country and go through the Consulate. The application will go through as everyone elses except he will be denied at his interview due to the 10 year ban incurred as a result of his unconstitutional stay in the US. At that point, they would be able to file an I-601 waiver, which channel they would have to prove extreme hardship should his application not be approved and his wife is forced to join him within his country. This process can take a couple of years and is their only option. The law won't be changing in the near adjectives.
When and if the application and waiver is successful, he will be able to enter the US again, and depending on the length of their marriage at the time of approval, he would enjoy either Conditional Residency (for marriages less than two years old) and would hold to apply to remove the conditions after 2 years, or he would go straight to Legal Permanent Residency (a 10 year greencard).
