Very unlikely that it would be approved. Best case would be if you were granted DACA before age 18 ... that means you have been lawfully present as an adult and may, eventually, apply for an immigrant visa through a permanent resident process.

But even so, you have presumably spent a... View More

Thanks for your question. I would bring it to the attention of the NVC.

It's best to answer "unknown" ... and to avoid leaving items blank, if they require an answer.

Sorry, no. Question about your J-1, are you subject to the 2-year home-country return requirement? (Also known as being subject to section 212(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.) Be sure to check that.

There are humanitarian exceptions to the travel ban. Now would be as good a time as any to begin the process.

Don't freak out. It will work out. No, not a disqualifying event. But lack of employment -- and believe me, I'm sympathetic! -- will put more weight on your wife (and maybe a co-sponsor) for financial support.

Here is how the Government replied to a question about receiving... View More

The I-140 must have ben approved at least 180 days ago in order to port the priority date. The new employer must go through the entire EB process of course before you can adjust, even though the PD may be current.

She will file USCIS Form I-90. Go to www.uscis.gov/forms for the form and read the instructions carefully. There is a filing fee and a possible exemption from the fee. Good luck. S'bogim!

Here's a potential plan to discuss with the immigration lawyer you will need to see about this:

(1) File a permanent residence case for one of your parents. (BTW, parents of a US citizen are your "immediate relatives," not first preference. There is no waiting line or... View More

Maybe . Several factors to check out. See an experienced immigration lawyer.

Wasn't she included on your asylum application?

If not, there's nothing you can do that I know of, to help her, until you become a permanent resident.

When you are divorced, by court order, you will automatically lose your H-4 visa STATUS. Your right to remain in the United States, as an H-4 spouse, will come to an end after a 30-day grace period. Hope that helps.

Assuming you are a US citizen, you can marry him and apply for permanent residence. Your partner either came as a foreign student (F-1 visa status) or as a visitor. The school probably has records that will help establish how he came into the USA. The point is to show he made a LEGAL entry,... View More

Maybe, as you will stay within US territory. But why risk it?

I would suggest you explain, on your N-400 application, that you didn't disclose that info on your I-485, and that you did file an amendment. Just be sure to DISCLOSE all the facts and you should be fine. Don't assume it wasn't important enough since it probably had nothing to do... View More

The PERM/I-140 from X will be irrelevant. What counts is that you have Z file a new H-1B ... while you are in H-1B status ... to request a change of employment.

Yes, you have been refused. Section 221(g) is a refusal. The visa officer or staff will see from their records that the visa was later granted.

Important: Just be sure to answer the question honestly. Don't try to hide it -- no reason to, it won't stop you from getting a... View More

I don't honestly know but Harvard Business School Online should. Or your F-1 university's advisor. They have the resources to find an answer quickly.

Check with your state for exact requirements on these activities. Go back to the CCDW people, they may know. I expect that AT LEAST permanent residence is required. Your fiancée should have PR about 6 months after wedding and filing application for PR and interview at USCIS. So that may help... View More

No. If you are actively trading you are not engaged in passive investment activity ... which would be allowed.
