Q: submitted my i 130 and it now says accepted n under review (feb 23, 2020). what does this mean Our location is nebraska
also my husband is in Jamaica and i really want him with me. can he come to the US on his visa and file an adjustment of status with the i 130 pending acceptance? or do we have to wait. how else can i get him here sooner?
A:
The relative petition ( FORM I-130) that you filed with USCIS has been accepted for processing and adjudication. You can expect an RFE ( Request for Additional Evidence) or an approval/denial of the petition once the USCIS officer completes the adjudication.
Entry into the U.S. with the B-1/B-2 visitor for the purpose of adjusting status is not recommended and may cause USCIS to claim fraud and misrepresentation.
I highly recommend that you engage an experienced immigration attorney to assist you to avoid details in the processing of your spouse’s case.
Good luck to you.
