If I file the I 130 by itself.which of the documents I need to submit with it.my.wife stay abroad.list them for me please.

I strongly encourage you to have an attorney handle this. It is very easy to make mistakes in this process and very difficult to correct them once made. A lot more facts are necessary to tell you what you need to file, but it's more than you think. Make sure you save absolutely everything that... View More
IAm in the whit a Indian man how can we get married
answered on Jan 15, 2015
If you are a US Citizen, an attorney can help you file the proper paperwork with USCIS to bring your fiance to the US and get him a green card. It is important to do all of this properly, otherwise, he could wind up waiting a long time to be allowed to come here so don't just fly over there... View More

More information is needed to answer your question. First and foremost, are you a US citizen?
I'm from Jamaica came to the us for school but I over stay my visa and it is expire, I was denied a state I'd because my i20 was expire how can I obtain a marriage license
answered on Dec 29, 2014
As you overstayed your visa, you have bigger problems than the state ID. You need to get an immigration lawyer ASAP. He or she will work to restore your status, then you can worry about the ID and marriage. If you cannot afford an attorney, the legal aid society in many communities helps with... View More
The man I'm currently married to now was denied his green card because I was originally married and never divorced. Do I need to remarry him before we reapply? Or as long as I've divorced the 1st man, we can still use the marriage

Whoa! too complicated for internet forums. You need to sit down with an immigration attorney ASAP and talk this through. If the USCIS people think you all lied to them, he could be deported.

There is always hope. He is certainly in trouble and needs the get a lawyer familiar with criminal and immigration law. Depending on his history, the exact nature of his status, the exact nature of the alleged conduct, and the eventual outcome of his criminal case, he may be able to avoid... View More
I have a M.Ed. in Sport Management (the P.E. department was part of the College of Education at my university). Could that be a problem in getting a visa for a job that is not related to education? The classes I took were similar to the ones offered at other universities for a M.S. in sport... View More

The title of the Master's Degree could matter, so too, could the actual content of the courses you took. You really shouldn't try to do your immigration paperwork yourself. That's a road to trouble. If your employer doesn't have a lawyer who handles their immigration issues, you... View More
He has been deported five times for simple speeding turn signal etc. Since the dismissed case . Can he fix this record ?
answered on Nov 25, 2014
I suspect something is missing here. People are rarely deported even once for traffic violations. If they bothered to deport him five times, I'm guessing there was a more serious crime or he is barred from entry due to having returned illegally following a prior deportation. You would need an...

because the problem and fighting each other. am I under Obama action?
answered on Nov 22, 2014
Obama's executive action provides temporary relief to undocumented immigrants who have been in the US five years or more, were children when brought here by their parents, or are the parents of a US citizen or legal permanent resident. From the limited information you've provided, I doubt... View More
I am a non-citizen with a work permit. My fiance is a US citizen. I read that I would need someone to "sponsor" me to show that they can support my stay here. But since I already have a work permit, full-time job, apartment, and a car.. Would I still need one? I'm doing fine living on my own.
answered on Nov 14, 2014
There are two separate issues here. First, a US citizen sponsor can mean a family member who is trying to help you get citizenship. This helps move the process along. A US citizen spouse/fiance can get around a lot of the waiting lists for you by sponsoring your application for a green card.... View More

that's a tough one - that would be regarded as a false claim to U.S. citizenship, which could result in very adverse immigration consequences. Can you tell me more about your situation? Rodney Alberto, Esq. www.visabrothers.com 732-200-0779
answered on Jan 3, 2011
I don't understand your question. In general, there is no punishment for getting married in a foreign country. And a valid, legal marriage abroad is generally recognized as valid under state and federal law in the U.S.
I-485/AOS is pending based on Employment categeory. Working on EAD. Currently out of USA.
answered on Nov 27, 2010
You should check to see whether an overseas USCIS office will accept the application. It could not be filed in the US because CIS in the US has no jurisdiction over the person currently outside the US. Another difficulty is if the person is called for fingerprinting.
