Scottsdale, AZ asked in Immigration Law for Arizona

Q: My husband came to the US with a work visa. When i petition him will he have to quit his job until adjustment?

His Visa was renewed May of last year and it was for 3 years. I am afraid that he will loose status once i petition him (be in limbo). I want to know so we can prepare and save money if I will be the only provider. Am i wrong?

A: If you are a US citizen, you can immediately sponsor your husband for a green card. He can continue working with his temporary visa in the meanwhile.

A: Your husband can continue working for his employer while your marriage-based petition and his adjustment of status application will be pending. He will list his current non-immigrant status in his adjustment of status application.
