A child cannot attend a public school on a B visa. A B visa is usually valid for up to 6 months. The visa itself may be a ten year multiple entry visa, but each time you enter on a tourist visa, your passport will be stamped and an I-94 card will be issued stating the date by which you must leave. For your child to attend school here, they must obtain an F visa, and that will require some work. I have successfully obtained F visas for students to attend public schools, however there were...

He will not be able to become a legal permanent resident (a green card holder) through marriage to you if he came across the border without proper inspection. He would have to be a green card holder for several years before being eligible to to apply for citizenship. The issue is how did he come to the U.S. If he came across the border without inspection (no visa, no passport, just walked across a desert) then he cannot adjust his status to a legal permanent resident through marriage...

You can change your job. Your are an LPR (legal permanent resident). Your LPR status is not dependent on employment. You can work in any field or job available, or not work at all if you like. I would need to know additional information about your wife and why her green card is still pending before advising you regarding her status.

You can travel in and out of the US freely with a conditional green card. Do not stay out of the country for a pro longed period of time. Regular travel, for work or to visit family, or for pleasure is fine.

He can file an I-130 on your behalf, but you will not be able top adjust your status now. It would take a long time for a visa to become available, and then you still may not be able to adjust your status.

Seems like you have some com0lications and may want to consult an attorney. Not sure I understand how you got your present status, and if it would be a good idea to apply for naturalization until your marital situation is all cleared up.

I do not believe there is a five year bar. There is a 3 year or a 10 year bar. The question is how long did you overstay your visa? If you marry a U.S. citizen, you can apply for a waiver to the bar, and you may or may not get it. Without extenuating circumstances demonstrating extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen, you will likely be denied.

First, what occurred that prevented you from returning to the United States for six years? Were you a political prisoner? If so, there may be other options available to you. Second, when you state "conditions" on you green card, do you mean that you obtained legal permanent residency through marriage to a U.S. citizen? If you did get LPR status through marriage to a U.S. citizen, and you had a 2 year conditional immigrant visa, and you failed to file a joint I-751 Application, then your...
