I entered the US 15 years ago with a visitors visa. Then I applied for political asylum. It was not granted. Married my wife 8 years ago, who two months ago became a US citizen. Filed an I-130 petition. 3 weeks ago I got a letter saying my visa petition has been approved and sent to NVC. What is the next step to take?
Also, I have a DUI from 12 years ago, nothing else, on my criminal record. Will this prevent me from adjusting my status? Please advise. Thanks - Is this your question? Add additional information Answers (4)Philip C. Curtis

Are you currently in the U.S.? If so you should have filed the I-130 with the I-485 petition for adjustment of status. Otherwise, you will have to leave the U.S. to obtain your immigrant visa and this could cause problems if you lived in the U.S. illegally all these years. If you are in the U.S. I would file an I-130 immediately. There is a place in the form to reference the case no. of the I-130. Be sure to enclose a copy of the I-130 approval notice. They will have to get the file back from the NVC.
A 12 year old DUI should not be an issue provided you have no other criminal issues and you completed whatever sentence/punishment you received for the crime. Hope this helps. Good luck. Philip C. Curtis

**CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS ANSWER** I meant to say that you need to file an I-485 immediately. Sorry...
