ESZENYI, Auditor DOES BRIDE SHARE HUSBAND'S NONQUOTA STATUS? Question: I came to the United States on a student visa to study medicine, from a country with an over-subscribed quota. Subsequently, a first preference petition in my behalf was approved and this, thanks to Congressional action on August 21, 1958, made me eligible to a nonquota visa. I have since adjusted my status, but now want to get married to a girl of my own nationality, who is also studying in the United States. Will she benefit from my adjustment of status? Answer: Unfortunately, no. The interpretation given to the act, which gave you non-quota status, requires that the marriage of the alien must have taken place prior to July 1, 1958, to benefit his wife. The wives of persons married before that date would also be entitled to non-quota status, whereas a later marriage will merely confer a third preference status on the bride. If the third preference of your nationality is oversubscribed, you may have to resort to private legislation in order to adjust your wife’s status.
