Q: I have an A1 Student Visa. I’ve been in the US since I was 8 years old. Can i apply for green card or citizenship
My father is a diplomat and mights be going back to work in native country.My visa expired the end of next year. What can I do to stay in the US. or at least obtain a green card.
A: It is possible, though perhaps a bit more complicated than some other situations. You would need to qualify or be eligible for some other type of visa or a green card, such as by marriage to a US citizen. Consider consulting with an immigration attorney to review your situation and options. Good luck to you!
