Q: On my I-94 it said entry until April 2024 and class of admissions is DT. What is DT? What are my options I got married?
While on DT status
A: DT is a parole and it stands for parole issued at Port of Entry. You state you are already married. As long as it is a real marriage and not just for immigration purposes you have a few options. Best to consult with an immigration attorney.

A:
The "DT" class of admission refers to individuals admitted under the Compact of Free Association between the U.S. and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Republic of Palau. Individuals from these countries can enter, reside, and work in the U.S. without a visa.
If you've married a U.S. citizen while on DT status, you can adjust your status to a lawful permanent resident (LPR) by having your U.S. citizen spouse file an I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on your behalf. Concurrently, you can file the I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
Remember to provide evidence of the bona fide nature of your marriage. It's essential to consult with an immigration attorney to guide you through this process and ensure all necessary documentation is accurately completed.
