I am student from Egypt on J-1 visa, and got married an American girl, we are pregnant right now, can I stay with her?

You have a number of options, probably the best is the I130/I485. Please contact me for a free consultation and we can discuss filing them. Regards, Nick Misiti Misiti Global, PLLC. 716 830 7960 [email protected]

You will not be able to adjust status unless you either fulfill the 2year residency requirement or receive a waiver or a no objection letter from your country. You should contact an immigration lawyer for assistance. You are welcome to use the link provided below for more information or contact. Goodluck.

Marriage to a US citizen will do away with the unlawful presence. Therefore, in case you overstay, you should be still be able to adjust with the waiver. However, there is a risk involved. The risk is being picked up by ICE. Nonetheless with your wife's petition, you should be able to deal with the situation. Also I will pursue the waiver very aggressively. See if you can get a non- objection letter. In such cases, having a good lawyer is indispensable.

You do not state what your J-1 was for and what basis you are applying for a waiver of the two year requirement. This couples with the fact that you have received an RFE on your I-612 leads to the possibility that your case is not properly documented. I strongly suggest that youconsult with an immigration attorney who is familiar with J-1 waivers who can properly advise you.
