Received Green Card through parent and married right after that
I have recived the green card through my dad ( F2B unmarried son over 21 years old ) by adjusting my status as I was on F1 visa. After having the green card in hand I got married after two weeks to my then girl friend who I known for 7 years ( no weeding, only ceremony with close friends and family in court). Now, I have submitted I-130 and I-485 concurrently for her as she is an F1 student. Just to mention that we lived on and off with each other and shared leases during those 7 years as much as possible like lived toghter 3 years and then went to a different schools and we live back toghter because of the pandemic and school is online. Also, we have joint car insurance and credit card since almost 6 years ( now have joint bank account, health insurance).
My question is, would the officer ask a question like, why did you decide to get married two weeks after receiving your green card? I know by law that there is nothing wrong with that at all. But if so what would be the answer for that? Would I have a hard time overall about that.

I don't believe you'll have any issues with that. It would be a problem if you got your GC through marriage and somehow got a divorce and decided to file for another person. Good luck with everything.

@Adam T, Did you have an interview?
Adam TJan 28, 2022
@ Speechless. We have not been scheduled for an interview yet.

@Adam T I mean did you have an interview with your parent for your case F2B. if Yes. What’s kind of questions they ask you? please
Adam TJan 28, 2022
ohh sorry! it was only me in that interview. The first one, the officer was not super nice, I would say she was not familiar with F2B and first things said that “ I usually interview couple, parents, work “ never F2B. At the time of the interview my priority date was not current but she did not even mention that. Other weird question “ how your dad get his green card?” then ask the yes and no questions even the weirder thing in the Yes and No question she would ask them like “ did you or any of your family member …. “ The second interview was in a different state since I moved, the officer was super nice, she hold a PhD degree. the interview took less than 15 mins and she started by saying the relationship was already established in I-130 and already approved long time ago and do not need to talk about it and then ask me what I do for living. then couple of the Yes and No and while I was driving home I recived “ card was produced” Good luck on your interview

@ Adam T I have an interesting question for you Please, I understand you were on F-1. Did you keep your F-1 statue the whole time? or were you out of statue while you were waiting for your I-485 to be approved?
Adam TFeb 16, 2022
@spechless I kept it the whole time. But my understanding that legally once you submit your I-485 and USCIS received and aknwolged by a receipt, then you do not have to keep your status. However, you are to stay but not to work until you receive your EAD card. Hope that helps!
r/tps 🧢Feb 16, 2022
@Adam T Thanks bro. But I submitted I-485 after i was out of status. Do you think this will be a problem when I will go to the interview
the reason I applied I-485 after is because i was waiting for my visa to be current.
Adam TFeb 17, 2022
@Speechless honstely, I have no idea. I thought that if you were out of status then they would not accept your application in first place as F2A has to maintain a status until priority date become current and submit I-485 ( unless your spouse is US citizen). So, maybe it is a good news that they have accepted your application. so, I am wondering that while you were filing I-485 which status you used since you had no status at that time. I wish you all the best and hope that everything will go well for you.

@ Adam T i had a F1 student visa at that time, but when I graduated from university, my priority date didn’t become current. So my I-130 was approved 6 months after graduation and I waited 6 years, when my date become current… visa is available letter approval from NVC and then I applied for I-485 on June 09,2021, I already did biometric fingerprint on July 12,2021. now i am still waiting for interview. that’s why i want to know if this gonna be a problem when i do my interview.
my case is F2B
My Dad is LPR
Adam TFeb 17, 2022
@sppechless So my understanding that you overstay your visa while waiting on your priority date to become current? Is that right? For how long you have been out of status ? In other words how long between your graduation and submitting I-485? Having I-130 approved means nothing when priority date not current and does not give the legal right to remain in the US. I am not fan of lawyer but I would recommend that you consult with one immediately.
Adam TFeb 17, 2022
I have never heard of paying fees for staying out of status! That is news to me!
