Default If my fiancé goes to jail, will my perm resident status change?

My fiance has been charged with a crime she did not commit, and is in the process of proving to a grand jury that she is innocent. There is a minor possibility that she may go to prison for 3 to 5 yrs if her lawyer is not able to prove her innocence. She is a doctor and has no past criminal record. My concern is what will happen to my permenant resident status if we get married tomorrow,and they send her to prison in few months? Am I able to continue my case to obtain my green card and go on the interview by myself or not? Am I able to do anything with my alien status while she is absent in prison? and most importantly, should we wait until her case is over to wed?
Thank u in advance. Respectfully yours, Djordje

You can continue it yes; but you will want to have immigration legal counsel involved.

Thank you for your reply. So essentially, what you're saying is that I am able to follow through with the immigration process but I should hire an immigration attorney to protect my rights...? Is that correct, if not please elaborate? Thank you again in advance. Djordje

I think, When your finance is in a dire situation like the one you described. Residency status should be the last in your mind.

You are a disgrace...You psychotic bastard!

I have a similar situation. My wife (a US citizen) is now in jail waiting for the court date. She has been charged with misdemeanor, and we are waiting for my green card interview. My question to you if this will affect on my green card application. I am clear and clean without any charge records.

Why is he a psychotic bastard. He has innocently served us reality and you chastise him? pulease!!! am sure you are a lady. turn the table around and am sure you will be the first to tell the affected lady to move on and that the guy was a looser.

So please before you come out and say or type anything, put yourself i other people's shoes.

I agree---the issue still has to be dealt with! Nothing wrong with that.
