It depends on why she was in jail and why she was deported. She may be subject to a ban that will require a waiver. I suggest you consult with an experienced immigration attorney who will need more details.

No. You must be a USC to sponsor your parents to come to the USA. Your parents may apply for a visitor visa.

Your husband may be a citizen through his father, or
he can file for citizenship with his current green card, or
he can adjust status through you.
If your husband is a USC through his father, he is not eligible for the second and third option.

Even though your card has expired your status as an LPR has not expired. However, if you leave the USA with an expired card you may not be admitted into the USA upon your return. I suggest you file for NATZ or to renew your card. After you have filed take your receipt to your local USCIS office and... View More

You have admitted to attempted marriage fraud in order to get your green card. Not smart at all on a public forum that anyone can read. Consult in private with an experienced immigration attorney and take this question down ASAP.

As the spouse of a priority worker you derive your status from his status. You indirectly received your LPR status through marriage. There may be questions regarding whether the marriage was a legitimate marriage. However, given the length of your marriage it is unlikely. If asked, it sounds like... View More

Yes. The 90 day rule applies to you. Entering the USA on a non immigrant visa and marrying with in 90 days creates a presumption that when you were admitted into the USA on a non immigrant visa you actually had immigrant intent.
Hello,
Greetings!
I'm in the US on a H1B visa and recently received a green card EAD + AP card. My H1B extension is pending. Can I go out of the country and get back using my Advanced Parole card and continue to keep my H1B visa?
Thank you.

If you are an LPR you no longer need your H status or advance parole. You may need a re entry document if you intend to be outside the USA longer than 6 months.

Are you referring to the packet provided you at the US Consulate with advice to provide it to BP upon entry to the USA?
If so, I suggest that you contact your local CBP office about bringing the packet to them

I don't work on rumor but on the INA as written. There is nothing in the INA that prohibits you from working in the USA after you have been employed in an Arab country. If you have worked for a company or person that is known to support terrorist activity you may have a problem.

Three (3) years is way too long to reschedule a NATZ interview that was cancelled for a legitimate reason. I suggest you have an attorney contact USCIS and suggest that you may file a federal lawsuit if action is not taken on your file.

Provided you were lawfully admitted into the USA 28 years go you may adjust status through your USC spouse assuming you meet all other requirements.
Im a DACA recipient before the age of 18 and have renewed ever since, without leaving the country ever. I’m looking to go through consular processing because I entered without inspection. Do I need to file a 601A waiver even though I haven’t accrued any unlawful presence? Thank you so much.
answered on Oct 3, 2021
If you remained in the United States after the age of 18 for any period of time over 6 months you acquired unlawful presence and you need a waiver. DACA does not cure unlawful presence, it defers action on the unlawful presence.

No. Your spouse can sponsor her parents as soon s/he become s a USC
answered on Oct 2, 2021
No. You do not qualify to sponsor them because they are not immediate relatives. However, they do not need a sponsor for refugee or asylum status.
