Or is there anything else I can do that doesn’t take that long ??

Is your boyfriend a US citizen? If you are asking in an immigration context, once you marry he can file a petition on your behalf and you may be eligible to adjust status (go through green process without having to leave the U.S.) As long as you are legally married, there is no requirement that...

We sold them to cover cremation and memorial. We have gone to the court four times. The clerk keeps sending us out to get proof we can't get, like registration of car sold to guy in SC.

At this point, you probably need to seek assistance from a probate attorney just to get this resolved and the estate closed.
She came to the US when very young, with her father, who is now a US citizen. She needs benefits due to my son's unexpected death but is afraid to do so. She had planned to take the citizenship test but that went by the wayside. I'm trying to get information for her to help her out.

She can still renew. Once she has the new card she can apply for naturalization.
We're waiting on the marriage certificate and want to apply for green card and work permit. We also want to see if he can get a driver's license and enroll into a GED program in the meantime.

I suggest you retain the services of an immigration attorney to get all the paperwork done while you're waiting for the marriage certificate so that all the applications and supporting documentation can be filed as soon as the marriage certificate is available. Part of the adjustment of... View More
There are three of us and three properties and we each agree to take a certain one. What is the easiest way to change title of the deeds
answered on Jan 26, 2019
You could check with an estate planning/probate attorney if there are other issues. Otherwise, just have a real estate attorney handle the drafting of new deeds.
My girlfriend is a American citizen born and bred USA I’m from England.
answered on Jan 25, 2019
That depends on several factors. It's possible that you would be able to adjust status (process of obtaining permanent residency from within the U.S.) or you may need to leave and process through the consulate. I suggest a full consultation with an immigration lawyer to discuss the options.

You need to have a full consultation with an immigration attorney to make sure they are eligible to adjust status and to make sure they are not already US citizens.

From an immigration perspective , there is not an issue, but I cannot speak to any tax implications.

I'm not sure what your exact question is. I recommend contacting a family law attorney to deal with the custody issue first. If you decide to divorce, that will resolve the H-4 issue as she would not longer be an eligible derivative.
I have filed form Form I-539 to extend my tourist visa. I have received my confirmation notice and my case has been pending. I went back to my country. The case is still pending. Should I contact USCIS and let them know that I am no longer staying in the US? I am planning on going back to US this... View More

Yes, you should notify USCIS that you have left the U.S. and wish to withdraw you application for extension.
Back in 1968 I came to the US with a tourist visa and stayed for a longer period of time.

You should absolutely engage the services of an experienced immigration attorney to fully analyze your case.
My partner has had his interview for the K1 visa at the US embassy in Caracas. He only needs to submit his medical results along with his passport for the visa to be affixed. He is ready to submit those results but my concern is how will the rupture in diplomatic relations between the two countries... View More

If the U.S. embassy there closes, yes, he would have to process in a neighboring country and that would likely cause a significant delay. Otherwise, as long as the consulate is open, processing should continue as usual.
I went to my interview in September and the officer told me that my green card was approved and that I would receive my card within a month. However, after a couple of weeks I received a notice stating that my case was transfered to another office (in Texas). It has been 4 months since the... View More
answered on Jan 23, 2019
That is unusual and I have not heard of a case being transferred to another office after the interview unless you moved prior to the case being approved. Try placing a service request with USCIS or making an InfoPass appointment to see if you can get more information.
When mother filed for child and waiting for visa and fiancé also file and if fiancé visa is denied will the 130 from the mom be revoked
answered on Jan 23, 2019
I need a little more detail to really answer, but in general, each I-130 stands alone so one could be denied and another approved. It just depends upon the situation.
Can I apply for citizenship? Or do I have to wait for 5 yrs after my dui. If I have to wait longer, do I have to renew green card and the apply for citizenship?
answered on Jan 23, 2019
You can apply but run the risk of being denied based on lack of good moral character because of the DUI conviction (assuming you were convicted/pleaded guilty). I advise waiting, not just 5 years from the incident date, but 5 years from the date you satisfied all conditions in the judgment. So it... View More
answered on Jan 23, 2019
If your mom has only filed an I-130 and you are still waiting on a visa number, then you're better off proceeding with a fiance or spousal visa and the previous I-130 will be irrelevant. I suggest having a full consultation with an immigration attorney to discuss which option is the best for... View More
I lived illegally in USA 7 years ago. Never got a problem. I came back to my country and now I got offer a work permit for Canada as a truck driver to go from Canada to USA and VS. Would the fact that I lived in USA in the past be a problem to enter with a work permit for working purposes only?
answered on Jan 22, 2019
Yes, that is definitely a problem. You will not be able to enter the U.S. legally without a waiver for the unlawful presence. You should seek the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney.
