with an H-1, I've a felony conviction which comes under crimes of moral terpitude.
My H-1 will be expiring soon and for certain reasons, my employer might not be able to get this 4th extension for me this time.
If I marry a USC and she files for my AOS, can there be any interim period where I can avoid having this felony record comes up and in the meanwhile I will try to have this conviction set aside. I did quite a bit research and there are some (slim) chances that I can have conviction expunged. Though this will still show up on background check but I will have better chance of getting my case approved. So during change of status process, can there be some kind of 'pause' such that I can still stay here in US legally and try to work on getting conviction expunged?
Many thanks.
