I am getting sponsored by my employer. I believe that I can switch to "similar occupations" but I would like to make a career switch. Is this possible?

I was granted conditioned permanent resident status in July 2007. Since my marriage is falling apart, what would my status be if we got a divorce? Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:00:00 ESThttp://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/Marriage-And-Divorce-I-751-Issues-7245.html?method=rssMy wife is a Canadian citizen and I am a United States citizen. We got married inside the United States. She entered the United States on a visitor visa. We filed the Form I-130 and it was approved. We just received a letter asking if we still want to go further and take the next step to I-485. The letter indicated that we should call or email the NVC to verify we are going through with the next step. We did not hear a reply from them, and CIS told us to keep trying.

However, we still have not filed the adjustment of status paperwork. Is there a time limit on this? We have now been married over a year. I cannot find anything that says you need to file within a certain period.Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:00:00 ESThttp://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/K-1-Marries-Within-90-Days-But-Does-Not-File-7227.html?method=rssI have a multiple entry tourist visa to the US. I am planning to fly in and marry my US citizen fiance later in the year but wish to leave the country without filing for adjustment of status to permanent residency. We plan to have a church ceremony in my home country after 2 months, and then fly back to the US to file for my residency then. Is this ok or do I need to stay in the US until I adjust my status? Will they have reason not to allow me to reenter using my tourist visa?Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:00:00 ESThttp://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/B-2--vs.-K-1-vs.-K-3-Visa,-Which-Is-Appropriate-7218.html?method=rss
