Hi there !

My spouse and I are planning to move back to the US and apply for AOS.
I have a B1/B2 visa valid 10 years. We are living in Belgium.
First can you give me some advise, I would like to find some headhunters in
NJ, NY or MA.

Thanks a lot !

Ingo Pakleppa - See Web Site For Email

This is really not enough to go on. You say you want to move *back* to the
US. Under which status were you in the USA before?

You also ask about headhunters. For what profession? Do you need
sponsorship? Generally, for job hunting, start with sites such as
Monster.com, hotjobs.com or dice.com.

Thanks Ingo,

I'm a Belgian Citizen and my spouse is a USC. We are married for 1 year now
and we are planning to move back to the US. I have a B1/B2 visa.
Do you think I can already apply for AOS and stay here until I find a job ?
I am an architect

You should apply for an immigrant visa at the US embassy in Brussels. And
you'll become a permanent resident as soon as you enter in the US.
Entering with a B1/B2 visa would be visa fraud because of your immigrant
intent.

Do you think it's best to apply now for the immigrant visa even if we still
live in Belgium for some months or should we wait. Once you get the visa do
you need to enter to the US directly ?

Yes, it's best to apply now, the embassy will take some time to process your
application. When you'll recieve the visa, it will be valid 6 months (and
when you'll enter in the US, you'll recieve a stamp that be a prove of your
permanent resident status for 1 year)

Ingo Pakleppa - See Web Site For Email

There are many Web sites. My own FAQ site at http://www.kkeane.com has a
list of quite a few interesting links. It also has a lot of more general
information that tells you a lot about immigration in general, although I
haven't focussed much on the marriage-based process.

The next thing I can recommend is to search google for the term "DCF"
(which stands for Direct Consular Filing). This is the formal name for the
process that you will hopefully be able to use.

And finally, repost your question in alt.visa.us.marriage-based.

What about it?

I haven't heard anything about a "new" procedure for AOS.

There is a change coming up, but that hardly qualifies as a "new"

This explains the whole DCF/immigrant visa process. Belgium is pretty quick, so time wisely. This is your best legal route. Good luck!
