I am currently on J-1 visa, I wanted to ask if there is any limitation if I can use cryptocurrency lending websites to earn passive income? It would be treated as interest income.

You should ask an immigration attorney by calling them directly. You're asking a question, about earning income on a J-1, and something isn't quite adding up. An immigration attorney can straighten the question out for you.
He want’s to marry in his country then come back to USA and tries to bring his new wife we are not separated or divorced
answered on Dec 9, 2021
You presented this legal issue about four times now and the analysis remains the same; anyone trying to marry anywhere in the United States or in a foreign country while being married to another person is committing an act of bigamy and polygamy and it’s against the law in the United States.
I think he only married me to get his visa he lied and acted that he is in love with me and lied to the immigration officers what can I do
answered on Dec 1, 2021
It can be quite complex, but is possible, to divorce someone living abroad. I suggest you contact a family law attorney who has done it before, or see an immigration attorney for a referral.
He has not asked for a divorce from me is there anything I can do
answered on Nov 30, 2021
If you and your husband are separated, then you should seek a divorce. If he wants to remarry, then he will have to file for divorce if he plans to petition his new wife.

There are many things you can do even at this time, however, before selecting the most effective legitimate approach discuss your present situation with a licensed immigration attorney in person or remotely.

What are all the options? Other than k1 visa l. I am born and raised us citizen
answered on Oct 5, 2021
No, probably not. The laws don’t allow those who visit to have immigrant intent. The law presumes immigrant intent, so an applicant for a non-immigrant visa must overcome the presumption.
Otherwise, they can be denied and may possibly be charged with misrepresentation which is an... View More

If they stay longer without permission they will start accruing "unlawful presence" which will have negative consequences for them. However,... View More
My parents are on a visiting visa to the US from India. They got here before the Pandemic started (December 2019) and was not able to travel back once the pandemic started because of their age and the travel risk.

answered on Apr 23, 2021

There is no way to predict the odds of... View More
