What were the terms of the plea bargain? What does he intend on appealing? Your question, unfortunately, requires more specific facts. This is a highly sensitive subject that may require research. I recommend consulting with an attorney for an in-depth consultation.

As far as the survivor's pension and tax issues, you need to consult with an appropriate attorney who specializes in that... View More

This certainly sounds like a terrible situation. She may be eligible to remove the conditions on her green card through a waiver, but there are certain requirements as well as certain proofs that must be demonstrated. She should definitely consult with an immigration attorney.
I sent a visa application and NCV email saying that I'm missing some info about financial evidence, I don't know what's financial evidende is, don't know what kinda of papers to send.
