petition for Permanent residence for married daughter

Post by dream77boy » Mon Apr 23, 2012 3:34 am

Hi everyone
My mother has now naturalised as a US citizen and has petitioned for me for green card. I have been told that it may take 7 years
My question is - is there any way i can live and work in the US whilst the petition is being considered?
I am a british citizen (naturalised in 2010), was born in India therefore the 7 year wait.
I mean, can i go on a visa waiver and somehow change my status to waiting for green card and work there?

You don't get any special treatment from having a petition pending, no; and you can't change status to a work visa from a visa waiver.
