but my question is my brother is under 21 and child can he come with mother
answered on Dec 29, 2015
You can file for him, but he will not be able to enter the US with a green card for 11+ years (no immigrant visa is available for him). Your mother is an immediate relative -her case is not preference-based.

I entered the U.S. on a J-1(not subject to the two-year residency requirement) visa, then i applied and got b2 visa and after that the company that i worked for applied for h2b visa and the visa got denied. Now after 3 years i am married to a U.S. citizen. May I adjust my status?
answered on Jan 21, 2016
Legally, you are eligible to adjust as long as you meet all of the criteria (apart from the 2 year FRR). I would love to handle this matter for you.

answered on Jan 21, 2016
Even if you wanted to, the visa waiver does not allow your fiancé to change status within the U.S. That's a condition of the visa waiver. Regardless, no fiancé visa is required. Are you a U.S. citizen or an LPR? Timing as well as intent are issues (because of the presumption of fraud). It... View More

It might get rejected (though I doubt this). For the I-485, you may get sent an RFE, or you may make it all the way to the interview and you can fix it at that point. As for the I-765 and I-131, you may get an RFE or the EAD may get issued with the wrong code. You can try and send notice via Fed... View More

This is a loaded question. If it is a spouse, yes, but much needs to be proven. If it is an employer, again much should be proven.

Yes, timeframe is 11 years at present. Yes, he can go F-1, OPT, then H-1B. He needs to maintain status at all times. Though H-1B leads to Green Card. That's the better way to go.
