Hi everyone!!!
I am 20 years old and I have dual citizenship ( US and French), I have lived most of my life in France. My girlfriend is French and we go to the same college in France. Next year, we will both be living in California as international exchange students. She has a J1 student visa that will end in April 2010, since I have a US passport, I don't need any visa. Our college in France requires us to do a 3 month internship at the end of our exchange program. We are both thinking about starting our internship in April and doing it in the United States ( most likely in California ).
What kind of applications will she have to fill out in order to change her immigration status, since her student visa will end in April 2010? Will she have to go back to her home country?
Also, if we ever consider getting married in the United States, what will the requirements be? Can we get married while she has a J1 or a work visa?Will she be able to get a green card? What are our options and the best way to do that? When she applied for the student visa, her intentions were to study in the United States not get married, but what are our options if we decide to get married next year in the US? We have been together for one year and a half and do not intend to get married in the US for convenience purposes.
Thanks a lot
