You may qualify to file on your own. I suggest you consult with an experienced immigration attorney.
Is there any way to get him considered legal, he has a tax ID because he is a subcontractor, he has never been in trouble. Got deported because of racial profiling, he has no tatts, had 1 earring at the time but the cop said he looked like a gangster.
I am sorry to hear what your husband went through. He should get an ITiN #; you could reach out to the tax preparers agency to see if they could assist you with that. Regarding his immigration status, I don't have enough facts to provide you with a more accurate answer. Still, he may be... Read more »

You may be required to file a waiver depending on your immigration background /... Read more »

Hi, the requirements for US citizenship does not require having children even if the children are from your sponsoring spouse. If you have had your GC for up to 5 years and you do not have any criminal record, you are in a good position to apply for U.S citizenship. Let me know how I can help.... Read more »
You can file a FOIA request to see what USCIS has oin your case file. The receipt notice is in the file.
Yes, if a consular official reasonably believes that someone is disqualified, then the visa application can be denied without further clarification. That is why you received a section 221(g) determination.

I applied for the OPT AND GOT THE RECEIPT FROM USCIS. I will be traveling outside the US before my graduation date for 10 days and I have my F1 visa and the I-20.
All other things being equal (you are not from one of the countries upon which this administration has imposed a travel ban), you should be able to return to the US under the circumstances described.
The primary will go from B to R (I-129), but can the dependents stay in the US while this is in process? How do I apply for R2s for them? Will they have to return to Bahamas while this is in process, or do they have to return after approval? Is there an additional form to file with the I-129? 2... Read more »
Retain counsel to represent you. A consultation should be set up so that the facts of the case can be reviewed. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you.

I recommend that you contact an Immigration attorney to review the forms you submitted, and to review the notice you receive from Immigration Services. The attorney can provide the... Read more »
I was married in u.s when i got married in india in 2015 but later got divorced with my x wife in u.s in August 2015 can i still file for my present wife in india for i130 or isit a big problem since im Muslim and allowed 4 wives? Plz help im really confused
No. USCIS does not recognize polygamous marriages even if valid in the place of celebration. You will need to remarry your "second" wife (the one you married in India in 2015) to be able to file a family petition on her behalf. I suggest that you consult an experienced licensed... Read more »
I got married in india and i was married here in u.s before that im on my greencard ! Plus in my religion i can marry upto 4 wives legally in india
The U.S. bars polygamy. You can only be lawfully married to one person at a time. If you were married to more than one person, but did not report it to the USCIS, then you misrepresented a material fact. This can result in the revocation of lawful permanent resident status. I don't know... Read more »
I live in the state of Alabama and I filed for the I-130 for my husband who lives in Albania. I saw that for Alabama we are under the Texas service center, however on my I-797C receipt it says Nebraska Service Center. Is that normal to be processed under a different service center?
USCIS spreads the petitions among the service center based on the type of petition. They also try to balance the workload between the centers.
Not a lot of people can ‘successfully’ do so. I strongly recommend a teleconference with a competent, ethically considerate and experienced immigration attorney with time to advise and investigate before you take action found to be without merit by the USCIS. Good luck.
I have my Naturalization interview. They are asking for selective service registration which I don't have since i am now 31 years old. I came to USA in non immigrant visa status, student visa F1 status. Also, I was over 26 when I file for green card. Can you please let me know what should I do here.
It is unlikely that you will need it. If you remained a student until you filed for your green card, then weren’t required to register. In addition, if you are over 31 years of age, then it doesn’t matter anyway, since more than five years have passes since you turned 26. You can write a... Read more »
I am an undocumented immigrant (I entered the US legally and overstayed a visa) and I got married last year to an american citizen. She now wants a divorce. How could this affect my stay in the US?
Usually when an immigrant marries a U.S. citizen and the U.S. citizen files a petition for permanent residence on behalf of the immigrant, the immigrant is granted conditional permanent resident status until the couple has been married for two years. This two year conditional period is supposed to... Read more »

But my employer terminated my employment on Sept 17th, 2018 and he applied for a withdrawal of H1 B petition to USCIS on Sept 20th,2018. So I can get back to my STEM OPT (Valid Untill 2020) right?

Your OPT is independent from your H1B, so if your OPT EAD is still valid, then you can continue working with it.
