To be honest, this is not something you can get solved online. You definitely need to engage an immigration attorney for this matter as it is highly complex and your family's future depends on it.

Immigration office won’t help here. Hire an immigration attorney to file a replacement request.

An immigration attorney should represent you in filing a green card replacement request.
My fiancé currently resides in Jersey Island, UK. He has a legal prescription for medical marijuana. While he's been here visiting, he's NEVER used it and is aware of the ramifications - so he usually tries to get by with Aspercreme/NSAID's for his pain. However, I'm concerned... View More

Yes it can as it is still not considered legal for purposes of federal immigration law regardless of state laws. For the other questions they go beyond purposes of this forum and I’d advise a direct consultation with a reputable immigration attorney

You should check with the providers directly. Privately people are able to buy health insurance but in order to qualify for many public benefits one needs to be at least a green card holder.

I’m assuming this is about a humanitarian visa but without seeing your documents no lawyer can truly analyze your case. It’s like a doctor diagnosing a patient over the phone. Therefore please schedule a consultation with a reputable immigration attorney
So here is the story:
I’m a U.S. citizen, and my wife is a Canadian and Green Card holder. I have two kids, both of whom are American-Canadian. However, my wife said she wanted to go to Canada to visit her parents, and she asked me to sign a travel consent form so she could travel with... View More

Taking someone’s children without a court order or their consent away permanently amounts to child abduction, contact the authorities and a lawyer.
So here is my question:
I’m a U.S. citizen, and I married a Canadian wife, and we both lived in the U.S. for 5 years. I applied for the N400 for my wife 5 months ago, and the case is under review at the moment. However, we had some family problems, and my wife took the kids and escaped... View More

If citizenship is based on 5 years in LPR status, then yes, the person obtains citizenship on their own, not based on a marriage from which they may have derived LPR status. It is always best practice to work directly with an immigration lawyer on any and all immigration-related matters.

It is unclear from your question how this relates to immigration law. If you or the person involved suffering abuse is not a U.S. citizen, you should directly consult with a reputable immigration attorney to help.

I filled an i130 for my mother last year through consular processing, it is still pending but my mother is visiting me on b1/b2 visa, can i file i485 AOS here for my mother, if yes then how long do i have to wait before filing i485.
answered on Apr 14, 2023
Work with a reputable immigration lawyer on this. You would not just file i485. Timing is also an issue.
Would like to find an attorney that could talk in camera about the situation of undocumented workers injured in the working place.

Assuming this is a natz application based on marriage to a U.S. citizen spouse, yes, the spouse (you in this case) will need to provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
Does this count as more than 6 months abroad?
answered on Mar 28, 2023
You’ll need to meet the physical presence and continuous residence requirements in order to be eligible for naturalization. To be certain you should consult directly with a reputable immigration attorney who can analyze the impact of your time abroad.
Is it possible to get any government help from my country, my life is threatened.

If you’re already a US citizen and not in the US, you can’t ask for asylum. Go to the closest US embassy and ask for urgent assistance for American citizens. Have them help you report to the police and other authorities. Above all, make sure your personal safety comes first before you do anything.

For your safety please see a reputable immigration attorney immediately and don’t post on a public forum anymore. If you can’t afford a private attorney you can potentially get help from pro bono organizations that assist immigrants going through abuse.
