Q: Does not having an H1b visa on passport going to affect my application of marriage green card?
I have H1b visa but due to Covid I haven't been able to change the visa on my passport from F1 to H1b, but I have the I-797A approval notice for H1b. I'm wondering if that will be enough for applying for marriage green card. Thank you.
A: Your goal is to remain in status with respect to your current status in order to apply for a change of status. The approval notice keeps you in status. The marriage green card is a somewhat separate topic. You should consult an immigration attorney. best of luck.
