Q: Can I switch from consular process to AOS and request the interview be done in the states?
Will my husband be able to come here while we do this ? The i-130 and other documents are paid for and already approved. we are awaiting interview with the consular office but we would like to switch to AOS. Can he come here and start this process?
A:
Unless your husband has a visa he will not b e admitted into the USA.
Consular processing requires an immigrant visa application be completed online. I assume you have done this.
Adjustment of Status in the USA requires a pending I-485. I assume you have not filed an I-485.
A: If he is already here legally, you may file form I-864. But it takes a long time.
