Hi ****! Thank you for sharing that you're facing an immigration-related issue. Can you please tell me a bit more about what's going on? For instance, are you trying to obtain a visa, adjust your status, or dealing with deportation proceedings?

Thank you for sharing your situation with me, ****. It can be challenging when dealing with immigration matters, especially when personal relationships are involved.
To better understand your situation, I have a question for you: Are you currently physically present in Idaho?
To better understand your situation, I have a question for you: Are you currently physically present in Idaho?
yes
Thank you for sharing your situation with me, ****. I understand that you're concerned about your immigration status and what happens if your husband removes you from the application. As you're currently physically present in Idaho, I'll provide some general information related to your situation.
In Idaho, the EB-* visa is a type of employment-based immigrant visa that provides a path to permanent residency. When filing Form I-*, you and your husband need to demonstrate that you've invested in a commercial enterprise in the United States and created at least * full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
If your husband removes you from the application, you would no longer be a part of the petition and would not be eligible for permanent residency through the EB-* visa. However, you may have other immigration options available to you.
Here are a few possible steps you could consider:
* File a separate I-* petition as the derivative spouse, if you have dependent children who are also eligible for derivative status.
* Pursue a different immigration category, such as a family-based visa or an employment-based visa, if you have alternative eligibility.
* Consult with an experienced immigration attorney to explore other options that may be available to you.

i didnt get the last part, elaborate more after you said "regarding the option to file for an extension|"
I'd be happy to elaborate on the option to file for an extension. When it comes to filing Form I-*, there is a standard processing time, which may take several months to a year or more. If you're unable to file the petition within the specified timeframe, you may be eligible to file for an extension.

i thought that form i795 is only for people who came in with a green card through marriage? SO will this form apply to me as well even though i came in as the co applicant on my husbands eb5 visa
Thank you for clarifying, ****! I understand your concern about Form I-*, specifically that it's typically used for those who obtained a green card through marriage. As you mentioned that you and your husband entered the United States on an EB-* visa, I'd like to clarify the eligibility for Form I-* in your situation.
Can you please confirm whether your temporary green card was issued as a derivative beneficiary of your husband's EB-* visa application? This information will help me better understand your eligibility for Form I-* and other possible options.

yes i am the derivative
I'm so glad we're having this conversation, ****! I understand your concern about the potential impact of your husband removing you from the I-* application and what options you have to keep your green card.
Regarding Form I-*, I see that you're correct that it's typically used for those who obtained a green card through marriage. As a derivative beneficiary of your husband's EB-* visa application, you may not be eligible for Form I-*. However, I'd like to explore other options with you.
Can you please confirm whether you have any dependent children who are also eligible for derivative status? If so, we may be able to explore filing a separate I-* petition for them.
Additionally, I'd like to ask: Have you already invested in a commercial enterprise in the United States, as required by the EB-* visa regulations? And do you have any evidence of the job creation you've achieved through your investment?
Let's work together to explore your options and find a solution that suits your unique situation.
