Can I obtain a green card , I live in USA I have a c1 I came here transit but I stocked here, I've got married from American And I need to obtain a green card to I can live here legally I was not entering to be crewmen but was "in transit.".
For persons entering the US with C-1 visas who are not crew members, adjustment of status may be possible depending upon the circumstances of the case and whether U.S.C.I.S. believes that they had or did not have the intention to do anything else but to transit at the time that they entered the country. If there is a finding of non-bona fide entry, they may seek relief through an I-601 waiver of grounds of excludability in which the standard for favorable adjudication would be whether they have established that extreme hardship would occur to the US citizen or permanent resident spouse or parent if they had to leave the country.
