請教8老師一個問題，申請 I 485的instruction裏有一條，一部分人可以不用在美國維持非移民身份， 申請485調整身份。其中有一條是外國醫學畢業生。請問這一條有什麽特別的其他要求嗎，
-I have never heard there is any exception to the 外國醫學畢業生 in green card application. Where did you find this information?
比如必須在美國醫院工作，或者考到行醫執照什麽的，還是沒有什麽具體的要求，隻要是醫學畢業生就可以呢？ 因為我是醫學畢業生，不過沒有能夠保持非移民身份到交485，
-The principle is that you have to have a non-immigrant status such as H-1, F-1 when you file I-485. The exception is: the immediate relatives of a US citizen (i.e. spouse, minor unmarried child, parents) do not have to have a legal status to file I-485; employment-based applicant (i.e. I-485 filed based on I-140) can file I-485 if his/her violation of status is < 180 days.
請問我可以通過consular processing拿綠卡嗎？
-Yes, but if your unlawful presence is > 180 days or > one year, you will be subjected to 3- or 10- year bar if you leave US, and that means you can not get the immigrant visa within 3 years or 10 years in this case.
萬分感謝。
