Hi Marinukas,

You haven't shared very much of your story, but, your lawyer is probably correct since you are currently out of status here in the US.

ok, more info.
I came to US as a nanny on J-1 visa, family that I worked for just loved me and they offered to send me to school after the year ended of my J-1 visa. I got F-1 visa and went to school for 2 years, and after the school I started working at the office for the same ymployer. then applied for H1-B visa and got a denial because I dont have BA. they we got an attorney that took my case and it's lasting 4 years already and ever since I finished school I stayed so called illegally because I was waiting for CG which is taking such a lng time.

let me know what you think.

really need help

Hello Marinukas,

If you qualified under 245i an adjustment application might have been possible here in the U.S. if you met the relevant qualifications,but the lawyer appears to be right as you don't qualify for the relief.

Marinukas: First...there's no such thing as remaining in the country "so called illegally."

Given that you're in the country illegally, the chances of you obtaining a green card through employment are ZERO.

Your lawyer is correct in saying that any application for an employment-related green card would need to be processed in your country of origin...however, because you have overstayed your period of authorized stay in America, your application would automatically be denied.

marinukas, lisetning to sundevilusa's advise is disaster bcoz he doesn't know his head from his toes, your chances of getting green card are 100% if you get married, if you leave the country you will be denied and you will need to file a waiver and i assume they will deny your waiver as well bcoz you dont have any grounds to come back. no hardship no nothing . but the over staying part will go away if you get married, you been long enough in the u.s and i'm sure you know some u.s citizen friends, get married and file for adjustment of status and the fact you entered on avalid visa then you are eligeble to get a green card and forget about this f-1 and j-1 stuff, this is not for you now, congrat in adnavce Big Grin

Well, Mike_2007 is such an expert on American immigration law that he isn't even allowed to return from Mexico...and it will be another 2007 years until he's allowed back into America...hence his screen name.

Also, Mike is too stupid to know the difference between advise and advice...but what do you expect from an illiterate?

Well, Mike, I didn't realize that you were upset that I didn't respond to your question...but, I thought that you knew that you aren't my type, and that we wouldn't be good together. I'm sorry that my rejection hurt your feelings...but that's life sometimes.

Hello Marinukas,

did you mean GC? instead of CG?

If thats the case...base on your story there's no GC filed. You filed a H-1b visa which was denied.

You are now in illegal status according to you.

The only way you can re-file is to go back to your country of origin.

Depending how long you were out of status...
The US might give you 3 to 10 years barr.
