Stay Legally In Usa

Summary

You have two options to stay legally in the U.S.: an employment-based visa sponsored by your employer or a marriage-based adjustment of status through your American husband. Both options allow you to remain in the U.S. Without leaving. The marriage-based adjustment of status is generally considered safer as it provides a direct path to a Green Card and is less dependent on employment changes. Consulting an immigration attorney is recommended to ensure proper handling of your case.

I am from El Salvador. I came to the US in Feb * and was inspected and released as an asylum seeker in the US. In Feb * my asylum case was dismissed but no order of deportation. Today I got two options. A employer in the US wants to hire me because I got a degree in cybersecurity and I also got an American husband. What should I do to stay here legally with out leaving the country?
****, you have two potential options to stay legally in the U.S.:
- Employment-Based Visa: Your employer can sponsor you for a work visa, like an H-1B, which allows you to stay and work in the U.S.
- Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status: Since you have an American husband, you can apply for a Green Card through marriage without leaving the country.
Have you considered which option might be more suitable for your situation?
Which one doesn’t involve me leaving the US
Both options allow you to stay in the U.S. without leaving:
*. Employment-Based Visa: Your employer can sponsor you for an H-1B visa. If approved, you can stay and work in the U.S.
*. Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status: You can apply for a Green Card through your American husband, allowing you to stay in the U.S.
Have you decided which path you prefer to pursue?
What’s the safest
The safest option is generally the Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status. Here's why:
- Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status:
- Direct path to a Green Card.
- Strong legal standing due to your marriage to a U.S. citizen.
- Less dependent on employment or job changes.
You should consult an immigration attorney to ensure proper handling of your case.
