Does my husband has to wait the whole 10 years before he can come back to the United States? He already has been out of the United States for six years in Mexico. We need him home. Is there any way I can get him back to the USA? He left in February of 2004.
In answering your question, I am assuming that your husband was deported for being in the U.S. illegally or engaging in a serious criminal activity. There is no way to get the 10 year ban lifted. He must await the expiration of the 10 years and then re-apply.
I have been here for almost a year an a half an I would like to apply for asylum! If not granted asylum would I be deported? I can be persecuted in my country because of m religious and political beliefs!
You must apply for asylum within one year of the date of your last arrival in the United States, unless you can show:
- Changed circumstances that materially affect your eligibility for asylum or extraordinary circumstances relating to the delay in filing
- You filed within a reasonable amount of time given those circumstances.
Since you are currently in the U.S., and you can make the case for changed circumstances that explains your failure to file within a year of your arrival, you may apply for asylum. Because you are not in deportation (removal) proceedings, you will file your application for asylum by mail at a USCIS regional service center. The form that you must file is Form I-589. It will be reviewed to see if there is any legal reason why your application should be denied—you may have a serious criminal conviction or there is evidence that you have persecuted others. If there is such evidence, you will quickly find yourself in deportation (removal) proceedings. If you pass this initial review, a biometrics appointment will be scheduled so that your fingerprints can be taken. Your fingerprints will be used to search for criminal and immigration records.
Assuming you pass this second review, an interview will be scheduled so that you can describe the persecution that you experienced, or the reasons that you think that you will be persecuted if you return to your home country. You have not told us how you happen to be in the U.S. If you are here lawfully on a valid visa, you may be allowed to stay until you visa expires. If your application for asylum is denied, the more common result is to receive a Notice to Appear, which is the first step in the deportation process. Requesting asylum can be a complicated issue, particularly depending on the country from which you are coming. I would recommend that you seek the services of a competent lawyer before seeking asylum. If you have more questions, you can email me at eyoung3@edylaw.com.
Can your application for Naturalization to become a U.S. citizen be denied if you owe back taxes?
Yes, you can be denied citizenship for not paying back taxes. You can obtain citizenship if you file the back tax return and enter into a payment arrangement with the IRS. According to the Document Checklist (Form M-477, page 2) for the Naturalization Application:
If you have any federal, state or local taxes that are overdue, send:
- A signed agreement from the IRS or state or local tax office showing that you have filed a tax return and arranged to pay the taxes you owe; and
- Documentation from the IRS or state or local tax office showing the current status of your repayment program.
NOTE: You may obtain copies of tax documents and tax information by contacting your local IRS offices, using the Blue Pages of your telephone directory, or through its website at http://www.irs.gov.
As an Athletic Trainer Certified (ATC) can I get a visa from the actual L2 that I have right now? What will be the steps?
What type of visa do you want? There are basically two types of visas for which you can apply. There are nonimmigrant visas, which come with a right to work or study, and immigrant visas, which allows you to establish permanent residence in the U.S. and obtain a green card.
For nonimmigrant visas, you must have a U.S. employer. Given your occupation and citizenship, there are two visas for which you may be eligible: H-1B and TN. To qualify for these visas, in addition to having a job offer from a U.S. employer, you must have a bachelor’s degree or substantial on-the-job experience that is equivalent to the degree. For specialized occupations like yours, USCIS looks for at least three years of specialized training.
Since you are a Canadian resident, you could also seek a TN non-immigrnat visa. Since you are already in the U.S., you coud seek to adjust your status. Your employer must apply to the USCIS on Form I-129. You must provide the following: evidence of Canadian citizenship (passport, birth certificate, or citizen identification card); a job offer letter that describes the job that you will have, including daily job duties; and evidence of your qualifications to do the work (degrees, licenses, certificates, etc.).
Since you already have an L-2 visa, you could also seek to adjust your status to that a permanent resident. You must fall into one of the eligible categories: spouse or sibling of a U.S. citizen; spouse of a permanent legal resident; winner of the diversity lottery, etc. For a complete list, go to http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485instr.pdf.
I hope this helps. God bless you.
My wife got an L-1B visa recently. I did not apply for L-2 at that time, as I wanted to stay back. Our plans have now changed and I wish to travel with her as a dependent. She would most probably travel to US in Sept ’10. Can I apply for a L-2 visa before she leaves for the US? (The question is arising because I read somewhere that a copy the L-1 holder’s i-94 is one of the docs that needs to be submitted while applying for L-2)
You may apply for an L-2 before she leaves but you are not likely to get your L-2 visa approved before she leaves. By law, you are supposed to receive your L-2 Employment Authorization within 90 days. Depending on the country in which you file, the wait can be much longer.
To apply for an L-2 visa, I do not see a requirement that you submit a copy of your spouse’s I-94. You will need to supply, along with the applicable filing fees, the following documents at the US Embassy that serves your country:
- Completed visa application: Form DS-156
- Original and valid passport
- 2 recent color photographs that are 2” x 2” and full-face view
- A copy of your marriage certificate
- Several (at least 4) pictures at your wedding that clearly identify you and your spouse
- A copy of your spouse’s L-1 approval
- A copy of your spouse’s employment verification letter
I hope this helps.
Both my father (73 ys old) and I are US citizens. My sister is in Ukraine. Would it be better for me or my dad to petition her?
I see that going through my dad is first preference and I am fourth. Is it true that through my dad she could come while her case is pending? Our concern is our father’s health. What would happen if he petitions for her and, she comes here, but before she gets her green card, he passes away?
How old is your sister? If she is under 21 then your father can petition for her as an immediate relative. Otherwise, you are quite right, petitioning through your father is first preference and you are fourth preference. Is your sister married? If she is married, she no longer qualifies as an “Unmarried Son or Daughter of a U.S. Citizen” and becomes a “Married Son or Daughter of a U.S. Citizen.” This change in categories may result in a significant delay in her immigrant visa becoming available.
The best strategy in your sister’s case is for BOTH of you to file I-130s sponsoring her. There is nothing that prevents joint sponsors from filing visa petitions for her and it ensures that, in the event of someone’s death, she does not lose her place in a line.
There is a huge disparity in the waiting times for first and fourth preferences. The waiting time for first preference is about 5 years and fourth preference is about ten years. If you sister marries, she converts to third preference and the wait is eight years. You can check on the average waiting times here: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5092.html
Also, the Family Sponsor Immigration Act does have provisions which permit a substitute sponsor to take the place of the decedent as sponsor. The Act, however, requires a showing of hardship and it is not something that I would want to rely on in being able to substitute you for your father.
Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card
My current green card shows my maiden name but I want to change that to my married name. In part 1 under Family Name do I put my maiden name or my married name?
You put your new married name under the family name. Lines 2 and 3 will explain your new marriage. On line 2, select yes. On line 3, enter your old name, just the way it appeared on your last green card. You must submit a copy of your marriage certificate. For more information, see http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-90instr.pdf .
I’ve had my green card for over 20 years and its about to expire in September 2010. Should I renew it, or can I file to become a US citizen and wait and not renew it? And, can I hire lawyer to speed the process, since my green card is about to expire?
The naturalization application, Form N-400, takes about 5 months to process, whether you use a lawyer or not. Using a competent lawyer will usually ensure that there are not any procedural delays because of an incomplete or incorrectly completed application. If you can afford an immigration attorney, I would use one.
Interestingly, it may even longer to renew your green card. You will not lose your permanent resident status if you do not renew your green card. You will need to renew your expiring green card, however, to maintain evidence of your permanent resident status and avoid possible difficulties in obtaining employment, benefits and re-entry into the United States after traveling abroad.
The good news is that, when you apply to renew your green card in person, if you bring your current passport (or an additional passport photograph if you don’t have a passport) a temporary document (a stamped Form I-94 with photograph) can be created and issued to you immediately. This document serves a proof of your status for one year.
In sum, you will have to renew your green card either way. Start now!
God bless you.
My nephews are derivative beneficiaries of an I-130 I filed for my brother. Visas have become available for them. They all have been here since Dec 6, 2000. My brother is now married to a US citizen. My nephews are now 19 and 20, can they adjust their status from the previous I-130 or do they have to wait for my brother to be able to petition them?
If the visa becomes available while the nephews are unmarried and under 21, they qualify for the visas. What happened to your brother? Did he obtain his permanent residency through his US spouse or through you? His US spouse can only apply for permanent residency for his sons ( your nephews) as immediate relatives if your brother married before your nephews’ 18th birthday.
Would anxiety and having phobias be considered mental illness?
It depends on the severity. The grounds for inadmissibility involves persons with physical or mental disorders that threaten their own safety or the property, welfare, or safety of others. If your anxieties and phobias are not dangerous and will not harm yourself or others, I wouldn’t worry about it. Also, there are waivers available based on the nature of the disorder. If there is more behind your question, please elaborate your specific concerns.
I have been living in the United States since I was 8 yrs old. I’m now 30 and married to a United States citizen. How can I become a United States citizen?
Becoming a US citizen is a two step process. First, you must get a green card. Since your spouse is a US citizen, you are an immediate relative and the process is relatively easy. Your spouse files an I-130. You can find a copy of the form and detailed instructions at www.uscis.gov. If you have been married for less than two years at the time your sdpouse files the I-130 visa petition, the green card will be issued conditionally. These conditional green cards only last 2 years. After two years, you must apply to have the condition removed.
Second, once you have your green cardfor 3 years, you can then apply to become a US citizen. The process is called “naturalization.” To be eligible for naturalization you must:
- Be 18 or older
- Be a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization
- Have lived with your U.S. citizen spouse, who has been a U.S. citizen during all of such period, during the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application and up until examination on the application
- Have lived within the state, or USCIS district with jurisdiction over the applicant’s place of residence, for at least 3 months prior to the date of filing the application
- Have continuous residence in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application
- Reside continuously within the United States from the date of application for naturalization until the time of naturalization
- Be physically present in the United States for at least 18 months out of the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application
- Be able to read, write, and speak English and, through a test, demonstrate knowledge and an understanding of U.S. history and government (civics)
- Be a person of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States during all relevant periods under the law
That’s basically the process. There are also different requirements if your spouse works for the US government abroad.
What do I, a U.S citizen have to provide for my relative (in India) to obtain a tourist visa? It looks like Consulate doesn’t want anything? Their website specifically states that they will not look at affidavits, financial information, letters of support etc, so why do people provide those, if the Consulate does not look at them?
Your relative should seek a B-2 visa, which is used for tourists and those seeking medical treatment in the US. Your relative must convince the consulate that once he arrives in the US that he will not seek employment or go on public welfare. That is where you can help. You can sign an I-134, Affidavit of Support, which tells the US Government that you can support your relative while he is in the US. Also, you can send a letter to your relative, confirming that he can stay with you for as long as he is in the US. These two items, the invitation letter and the Form I-134, should be included your relative’s visa application.
I am very surprised that the consulate does not want affidavits of support. Can you give me a link to the website on which you read that?
My I-130 petition was approved and I am waiting for my visa #. My current student status is about to expire. Do I have to leave US? My I-130 is as unmarried child of a permanent resident filed in 2005.
Having an approved I-130 does not give you a right to live in the Unites States. After having your I-130 approved, you must apply to adjust your status, i.e. get a green card. Since you are already in the U.S., you can adjust your status only if you are in the U.S. legally—on an unexpired visa.
If you are an immediate relative–that is, you are unmarried, under 21 and a child of at least one American citizen—you do not have to worry whether your visa has expired. As long as you entered the U.S. legally, you can apply to have your status adjusted. If you are not an immediate relative, you must file for your adjustment of status before your visa expires.
You stated in your question that your Form I-130 has been approved and that you are “waiting for a visa #”. Does that mean that you have already filed to adjust your status? If that is so, that’s great! That means that you sought to change your status while on a current visa. Otherwise, you need to apply to adjust your status. If your Priority Date ( the date on which you can apply for a green card) has not yet come up and your F-1 visa is about to expire, you should consult an immigration lawyer immediately- telling him or her your specific facts. When your F-1 visa expires; copy of your I-797 Approval Notice; etc.
I heard that the new immigration law says that you do not have to be interviewed to renew your F1 visa. How does it work? And, how can I renew my F1 visa?
I am not aware of a change in the immigration law that would allow you to skip the F-1 visa renewal interview. You may be confusing two different renewals. There is something called automatic visa revalidation. Automatic visa revalidation allows most F-1 students to take a trip of less than thirty days to countries contiguous to the United States and reenter on an expired visa provided you have proper documentation and have not applied for a new visa during the visit. This process revalidates your visa (making it eligible for the single trip back to the United States), but does not renew it.
If your F-1 visa has expired or is about to expire, there is no need to worry. You can stay in the U.S. with an expired F-1 visa as long as you are student in good standing and have not violated the terms of your status.
There are some good reasons to renew an expired F-1 visa. For example, you may want or need to travel outside the United States. You cannot re-enter the United States on an expired visa (except in the limited automatic visa revalidation manner discussed above.) Also, if you entered the United States under a different visa status and changed your visa status to F-1 while in the United States – you will also need to apply for an F-1 visa if you leave the U.S.
You cannot renew an F-1 visa while in the United States. You must do so at a United States embassy or consulate. Although the Department of State encourages you to apply in your home country, you may apply at another U.S. embassy or consulate. Before you travel to an embassy or consulate that is not in your home country, contact that embassy or consulate and confirm the procedures for renewing your F-1 visa. Inform them of your country of citizenship, and ask them whether they will accept and consider your application and approximately how long it will take for the visa to be issued, if approved.
It may be more difficult to obtain a visa from a U.S. Consulate which is not located in your country of citizenship or lawful permanent residence. You cannot re-enter the U.S. until your visa renewal is approved. If the visa is denied, you will not be able to return to the United States as a student.
Click here to find out how long it will take to get a visa application appointment at a U.S. Consulate.
If you are going to leave the country to renew your F-1 visa, there are some steps you need to take before you leave.
- SEVIS I-20 – Check the front of your I-20 to make sure your major, and source of funding are correct. If you need a new I-20 you will need to provide updated proof of financial support.
- PASSPORT – If traveling outside the U.S. your passport must be valid at least 6 months into the future upon your return to the U.S. Passport may be renewed at your country’s embassy in the United States, or in your home country.
- LETTER FROM YOUR FOREIGN STUDENT ADVISOR – A letter from your international student advisor certifying that you are an international student at your school and are maintaining status.
- TRANSCRIPT – Bring a copy of your transcript to prove that you have been maintaining your status and making academic progress. Also, bring with you a copy of your current semester schedule, with proof from the your financial office that you have paid your bill.
- FINANCIAL DOCUMENTATION –Updated documented proof of financial support from the sponsor that appears on your I-20, particularly if the documentation is from more than a year ago.
You should start the visa process as soon as possible upon your arrival back in your home country or the country in which you will apply for the renewal. Keep in mind that the holiday periods (Christmas/New Year) and summer vacation are very busy times at visa issuing posts. In addition, security checks on visa applicants may further delay the issuance of visas.
I hope this helps.
I have a question. I’m in H4 visa status now. Can I work outside USA? May be in London, India or anywhere in the world except USA?
If that’s not the case, can I work for for-profit organization for FREE?
The H-4 visa is issued to accompanying family members (spouse and children under the age of 21) of H-1 and H-3 visa holders. The H4 visa holders may reside in the United States as long as the H visa holders maintain their legal status. Under the rules of the H-4 visa, you cannot be employed while in the U.S. You can do volunteer work while in the U.S., provided that it is clearly not an employer-employee relationship and the work is not done in anticipation that you will be hired in the future based upon your current work. To cover yourself, get a letter from the company or organization confirming your volunteer status.
Under an H-4 visa there are no travel restrictions. So, if you wanted to travel to London or India you could. But, since you are a temporary resident of the US, any money that you earned there, even on a very short-term basis, could be considered income for US purposes, thereby violating the restrictions on the H-4 visa. You could volunteer overseas under the same arrangement that I mentioned earlier–getting a letter confirming your volunteer status.
Does this answer your question?

i am a spouse of a us citizen and have been to my first interview at the us embassy from which i have been ask to bring along my spouses IRS tax transcript for 2009 and 2010.my spouse has dependents and i want to no if i can still send the tax transcript to the embassy for my visa to be issued to me.
I assume that you are in the process of adjusting your status through your spouse. Your spouse must demonstrate that he can support you. One of the requirements is that he must file his last two income tax returns. You want to be sure that his income will support you and his dependents. After calculating the number of dependents, you can go to this table, http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf, to see if he makes enough on his own to support you and his family. I would be happy to discuss this with you in more detail. Please email me or call me at (830) 491-8556,

My mother is still married to my father, however she is not in the US, my question is regarding what role does my father’s record plays on my mother’s ability to obtain a visa or permanent residency.

I have a question … ?? My husband been approve to stay in the USA . A year and a half ago . We been contacting the lawyer in those months . As the time has gone by His lawyers dont know wats going on . They said that immigration hasnt been contacting them back their emails..

if i am applying for a i130 for my spouse would the fact that i owe the irs cause the uscis to deny my application.im not concerned about the sponsoring aspect
My aunt just received her visa and we took her to the hospital because of high blood pressure.she has kidney failure and might need dialysis.she is 55. IF I GET HER THE GOLD CARD WILL.THAT AFFECT Her BEING able to renew her visa
i was denied asylum status and currently on removal proceeding but already married two months ago, can i still apply for greencard
If you married an American citizen, you can apply to adjust your status. Be aware, however, that the validity of your marriage will be scrutinized because of your deportation proceeding. I would retain an experienced immigration lawyer to handle it. Where do you live?
yea am married to American citizen, she is a PHD student. i used to live in Philadelphia but now we move to Maryland living together.
Hi! Have a question. My brother gets in US through asylum case. He’s been there now legally for almost 3yrs. I just applied for b2 visa and got rejected. The consul asked me about him as to how did he get there, etc. After that, she told me that the government is very strict & she can’t give me a visa right now. I also realized that before I was called for interview, my passport w/application form was not given back to me after the finger printing,which is odd. My question is, does my visa denial has something to do with my brother’s case? Since he got there by asylum ? I have a very strong feeling that it has, i just wanna know the reason why. Btw, he is staying there legally and now allowed to process his green card.
Hope you can help me.
Many Thanks!

I have been living wit my commonlaw husband for two and a half years,can i apply for his green card or permanent residency without him having to go back to mexico?? Please help
I’m going to enter USA as a tourist with my wife with a valid passport and visa.
I want to know that can we apply for asylum or stay as refugees?
Hu. I’m under a h3 visa expired 6 years ago. My brother holding a greencard by marriage and a US passport. He wants to sponsor me. What r my chances?
what if your husband abondant your marriage& was using you for greencard how can you go about this what action can you take
I am going to apply for my US citizenship, but I did not want to change my last name in my first green card, I did the petition in my second green card, but I did not got the last name change. Know, my husband want me to change the last name, but I am not sure what is the process for it. I am going to apply to obtain my citizenship soon, so I am not sure if I must change my last name in this process or I should do this last name change process separately. Also, I am not sure if is better to add my husband last name and keep my Latin last name. I am not sure if having a Latin last name is favorable regardless benefits for being part of minor community. Thanks
This is a personal decision for you. As part of the naturalization process, you have the opportunity to change your name and have it approved by a judge. You can always change your legal name later but you will have to apply before a judge in your local jurisdiction and pay an additional fee. Regardless of your last name, you determine your ethnic background. It should not affect your eligibility for any benefits.
I married last year and am petitioning my husband for permanent residency. I legally took his name, but I want to use my maiden name back for the sole purpose of keeping my identity. Will this affect the petition?
As long as the name on the petition matches the name on your marriage license, you should be OK.
Hello,This is an immigration issue; my mother filed for me in 2004 as a single unwed relative (daughter). Subsequently in 2007 I was married, my status was then updated with USCIS. Unfortunately, in Dec. 2012 my husband and I separated.1) Would it be best for me to file for a legal separation and wait for my priority date to come up as a married person?2) Or, should I file for divorce? However, if I file for divorce will USCIS recognize my 2004 priority date or will my paperwork have to be refiled as a single person all over again?
Thank you,Susan Wright
Ms. Wright, when you updated your marital status with USCIS, did they respond? Of what nationality are you? How old are you? These are all factors in determining your waiting period? Please email me at eyoung3@edylaw.comand we can proceed from there.

My brother got his citizenship from asylum. I heard that to he can ask for a petition for me so I can come to US, but it take years for approval. So, how about if he come to my country (Indonesia) and go to us consulate with me then tell the consulate that he wants to invite me to go us. Is that gonna help me get a visa? FYI, he got his visa years ago through the same way. But the us citizen that invited him was not from asylum status. Thanks.

my mentally ill brother has lost his green card, how can i get another one for him if possible with limited cost? thank you
I met my wife in the United States while she was going through asylum proceedings. There was some question as to the consistency of testimony over the course of 4 years, involving convoluted document translations. Eventually, while we were dating, she requested to leave voluntarily to go back and support ailing family and her son. I married her in her own country this year. I am a US citizen. We have vacation photos, wedding photos and evidence of my two trips to her country, western union transfers, etc. Even with an experienced immigration attorney, how difficult is this going to be to legally bring my wife back to the United States so we can get on with our life?

My brother who is a US citizen have filled an I-130 form for me 4 months ago. But since a petition filled by brother can take about 12 years, does that mean i can’t enter to US to study? Do you think my brother should withdraw the I-130 form and if yes, how long does it take? i will attend us embassy for an interview after a month. Please help me, Thank you so much.
I have a friend who came to the US back in 2001 with her 8 year old from the Ukraine. They legally came into the US the mother meet a man in West Virgina online that brought them back to the US. I do not know all of the details.( I do know they came here because father was part of the Russian Mob so for safety reasons) Anyway I do believe they are here now on expired visa due to moms lack of how things worked. The son is now 20 only really remembers living here in the US. Awesome upstanding kid. Mom is great to. They are no longer in West Virgina now in Cincinnati Ohio. Guy they came here with abandoned them. The son would very much love to go to college become a Nurse Practitioner get a drivers licenses and all the things a young man does. These people are hiding and afraid! So now what do they do? Is it hopeless? Is the son responsible for his mothers lack of knowledge????

Gdday sir,my dad his resident alien of US,he is dead since 2000 and is assets,money and other benefits are in US and his children are in Nigeria, how can the children relocate to America
Hi, I have lived in the US with H4 status since May 2008, then came back to Russia in 2011, and back to the US in September 2012 again, but with F-1 status. I divorced my ex-husband, who stayed in Russia, in May 2013, and got married to USC in July 2013. I’m going to continue my study at UCLA for at least 2 quarters or longer. Should I apply for EAD with my I-485 now if I DO NOT WANT to lose my current F-1 status in case my I-485 is denied? Might EAD be a reason that I’ll lose my F-1 status, and should I wait with it until my GC will be approved? Our income is another issue. My husband has about $34,000 current annual income and free apt, but he showed just $5,000 gross income in his 2012 tax return, $17,000 in 2011, and $19,000 in 2010. My own annual income is $15,000 from renting my Moscow apt. Might there be any issue with our income? We have no sponsor. The attorney says that we have to find a co-sponsor because of my husband’s low income for 3 past years, USCIS does not care about my property and my own income abroad, and that I’ll lose my F-1 status and should leave the US if my I-485 is denied. But I don’t really trust his opinion and looking for another one. Thank you very much for your time 😉

My husband was deported while in the process of his court hearing, we applied for residence and it was approved. However, the Judge ordered deportation and he left for 5 years. Does he has to reapply for residency after he serves his 5 years of deportation? Or what is the process? We never received notice that his residency was withdrawn so I assume it is still valid except on hold while he serves his 5 year deportation sentence. Is this correct?
Can asylum be applied for if the applicant had visited the us then re-enters then apply for asylum on ones second entrance?2 if one applies for asylum but when the visa was granted in the country of birth the person wasn’t telling the truth about their occupation.What will be done in this regard?
I’m 18 years old and I would like to know if it can affect me or the process of getting my citizenship degree if I don’t live with my mom anymore? Right now I’m a resident and my mom is the one who is claiming me to be a citizen. We have our differences and I plan to get my own place but I’m scared that it would affect the process. Immigration told us that we are just appealing to get the certificate because they say I’m already a citizen but immigration has to approve it. Can it affect me I move out of my moms house?

Hi, I have a question regarding asylum seeking individual. I came to US two years ago with F1 visa and I’m graduating with my masters in coming May. I want to apply as an asylum to get a green card/PR and stay in US. So the question is which one is better to do first? Apply for EAD card and then file the application for asylum OR vis a vis? I read somewhere that I would not be able to apply for work authorization once I filed an application for asylum. Is that true? Do you know how long the process will take for my case?
Your question raises some interesting issues. First, filing an application for asylum should have been done in the firdt year that you were in the US. However, you may qualify for an exception if you show changed circumstances materially affecting your asylum eligibility for asylum or extraordinary circumstances relating to your delay in filing. You must still file your application within a reasonable time under the circumstances to be eligible for an exception.
Changed circumstances may include but are not limited to:
— Changes in conditions in your country of nationality or, if you are stateless, your country of last habitual residence
— Changes in your circumstances that materially affect your eligibility for asylum, including changes in applicable U.S. law and activities you become involved in outside the country of feared persecution that place you at risk
Extraordinary circumstances may include but are not limited to:·
Serious illness or mental or physical disability, including any effects of persecution or violent harm suffered in the past, during the 1-year period after your arrival in the U.S.
Legal disability, such as your status as an unaccompanied minor or you suffered from a mental impairment, during the 1-year period after your arrival in the U.S.
Do you have the opportunity to do Optional Practical Training (OPT)? OPT is temporary employment directly related to a student’s field of study. During OPT, a student remains in F-1 status. The end result of the OPT request process is an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). If you are eligible, I would do that first.
Then, if you marry an American citizen or get a job in the US you could apply for a green car through your spouse or American employer.
I was deported with my family from the US in 2008. Prior to that we lived in the U.S for 7 years. When first arrived in 2002 we applied for assylum, which was denied every year but we kept appealing everytime. On our last attempt it was denied once and for all, we were told to leave the U.S voluntarily. My parents decided to stay and I was a minor, later my dad was arrested at work and a few months later were on out way to Colombia.
It’s been nearly 6 years since we were deported, and a couple of weeks ago I applied for a B1,B2 visa. It was not issued, and while I spoke with the consulate he said that unlike my parents I was not Ineligible to apply. However, that he couldn’t issue the visa. They visa then because he would have to contact Washington about my case, in order for them to remove that. Also he said I had to wait a 90 days because my application would go under administrative proccesing.
I’m curios as to what he was seeing on my application, because I was straight up honest and told things as they happened. But I’m starting to think that I was never on “the system” at all and had I not written what I did it could have turned out differently? Because he seemed lost as to what to tell me, he had to get up and speak to other people as of he didn’t know what do to.
Insight would help a lot
DHS treats minors who had no say in where the family moved differently. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is evidence of this new attitude. Let them go through their internal analysis. Eventually they will make a decision and you can proceed accordingly. There is a waiver that you could file under Section 601 that may be able to help you as well. In sum, I am sure that you are in their system but as a minor you may not be held to the unlawful stay provisions. I hope this helps.

When you lied to the immigration officer in the Philippines regarding falsified documentation and the petitioner successfully had that petition approved for her alleged daughter and son. Is this petitioner be subject for deportation? I am very concerned because I am related to this dishonest petitioner. Please let me know what can I can help your office.

My family as been trying to get me and my siblings up for a while now, but there was some issue so we didn’t get through but my family is trying again. I’m not sure when the papers will be coming out. So because of that my boyfriend as been asking me to marry him since lately but I have been telling him no, even though I’d love to get married to him. I don’t want because of me the papers that are suppose to be coming don’t are get affected because I decided to get married to him even though he’s a u.s citizen. But what if I do get married to him would it affect my siblings from leaving the country because of me
My wife has been asked to redo finger prints at US Consulate.However, before this, consulate asked her to resubmit medicals to issue visa, but was surprised when she was called again to resubmit finger prints.
I have a greencard and I’ll be applying for my citizenship this month. I’ll be getting married this coming January, will my application be affected being that I will be taking his last name?
No, it won’t, I married my husband june of 2011, change all my maiden name to married name in all my important papers including SS card and since my application was already submitted I submit a written form with my signature together with my marriage license to update my last name for my application so when I got my naturalization cert. it has my husband last name on it.

My brother had his resident card and went to renew in 2001. He went to his appointment and was advised to keep an eye out for a letter of correspondence. He received a letter advising him that his case was under review and as now has not heard anything it’s been 13yrs. Who should we contact and what steps should be taken?
I have a question: I came US as a B2 visitor then I changed my status to F1 but as I don’t have a stump can I travel back home during my holiday ?
Hello, I’m hoping you may have some advice regarding my mother in law’s current situation. She was denied a B2 tourist visa today during a 5 minute interview at the US Embassy in Mexico City. The reason given was that her only daughter (my wife) is living in the US and therefore she is at risk of overstaying her visa. The official even suggested that she instead begin the process of applying for permanent residence in the US. So far my wife has been living in the US for 2 years and 4 months, she arrived on a K1 visa and received her green card almost a year after entering the US. My question is this, can my mother in law apply again for a B2 tourist visa and explain that she’s not interested in living in the US but actually just wants to visit and we are not ready for her to move with us either. In maybe 4 or 5 years we may be ready for her to move to the US with us but either way the suggestion by the official to begin her I130 immigration application is not possible since my wife is not a US citizen and won’t be eligible to become one for at least another 6 months or maybe even a year and 6 months, correct?

My husband is not a US Citizen, however, he is a legal resident immigrate and has lived in the US for over 20 years. During his teens, he traveled back to his homeland (Thailand) with our church. At the time, his parents had the necessary documents for him to visit and return to the US. Now, we have a trip planned to Mexico on May 19-26th, 2015 and he only has his re-entry paperwork. Does he need more paperwork? I called the US Passport service, and passports are only for US Citizens. What do I need so that he can travel with me outside the US by May 19th? Does he need a VISA?

Hi, Here is a link that says they don’t need form I-134 and invitation letter.
In this link it says ” Note: Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant’s residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a nonimmigrant tourist visa. If you do choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember that it is not one of the factors that we use in determining whether to issue or deny a nonimmigrant tourist visa.”

I have a friend that has been here since he was 15. He has been having court since then. He had a lawyer, but he stoped going to see him. He is now 20 and he has his court in a couple of days. Can he be deported? He came to the U.S.A because his life was in danger over in El Salvador. He has no criminal charges anywhere other than driving without a license.
Usually you have one year after you enter the United States to apply for asylum. It has been five years.
Do you know whether the Dept. of Homeland Security has placed a hold on him? You can ask his lawyer or even the court clerk whether this has happened. If he is being charged with driving without a license, that is not a serious enough charge by itself to get him deported. BUT, if he is undocumented he is subject to removal at any time. I would retain an immigration lawyer to help you. Depending on where you live, I may be able to help you. Please visit http://www.edylaw.com and request a consultation.

My us citizen brother married a girl from overseas, he meat her on facebook and fell in love, he brought her here in usa on k1 visa , and then applied for the green card, right before her green card came he caught her talking to a guy from where she is from, and confronted her, she got mad and admitted that she only married him for his papers, and she left the country without yet reviving her green card, and my brother filed for divorce right away. So 8 months later the divorce has not been finalized because they cant find her to serve her , so 8 months later she comes back to america under false pretenses that she is still with him and uses his sponsorship without his knowledge, plus she is living in a completely different state,
How does he go about this? What do we do?
Thanks
