The scheduling of an I-751 interview shortly after a surprise home visit by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can indeed be indicative of concerns or 'red flags' from their perspective, particularly in a situation where they discovered that your wife was not residing at... View More
I have a friend who has a visitors visa to come meet up with me for a couple of weeks. Can they stay with me the entire 6 month on the visa if they choose to?
How hard is it to extend the visitors visa if they are staying with me?

Yes, they can stay with you for the entire 6 months. The visitor status can be extended depending on the reason. I suggest you work with an attorney.

I am not sure why your lawyer gives that advise! Nevertheless, I would say that since your mother's status has now changed to that of a US citizen, your status changed to a potential derivative citizen, an immediate relative; a preference one category; or a preference three category.

Assuming you are a US citizen, you can marry him and apply for permanent residence. Your partner either came as a foreign student (F-1 visa status) or as a visitor. The school probably has records that will help establish how he came into the USA. The point is to show he made a LEGAL entry,... View More

Discuss your case with counsel. Many more facts are needed.

Is she able to get a job if she's married to me?
answered on Jan 26, 2018
You will have to file a petition for her to immigrate to the United States. She cannot fly back with you after the marriage ceremony. It actually takes several months for a petition to be approved by USCIS. Then she has to apply for a visa with the US Department of State. There is a medical exam,... View More

You can't file a family based petition for her like you could for your wife. When your wife becomes a citizen of the United States she could file for her but that takes a VERY long time to result in resident status.
When you say little sister, does that mean school age? She might be... View More
considered children for the purposes of immigrating to the US?
answered on Jul 29, 2017
Assuming you are a permanent resident or US citizen, you can file for the 19 year old. If you haven't started the process for the 21 year old, its ok, but his or her case may take longer if they have aged out. Consider discussing with an attorney.
And also apply for my learners drivers license.
