Q: If I have an approved I 130, can I apply for an I 485 if I’m in the US but my I 94 is expired?
My I 130 was approved and I have just received a notification from the NVC regarding my visa. I’m currently in the US but my I 94 expired and I would like to change my status to not have to go through the consular process and proceed with an adjusted status instead. Is that possible?
A: It depends on whether your Visa is current. You can find out whether it is on monthly Visa Bulletin
Ms Grace I Gardiner agrees with this answer
A: It also depends who is the petitioner on the I130 and in certain circumstances your age.
A: There’s not enough information in your question to form a sufficient opinion. Call counsel to discuss.
