As long as your husband meets the income requirements for a joint sponsor then your situation will not negatively affect your petition for your mom. Best wishes!
Border control and was received form I-877 upon being deported back in 2018. We originally thought we could do the K1 visa but now are wondering the next steps. Could you help clarify what we need to do?
It depends on the foreign national developed derogatory history. The withdrawal from admission to the United States (I-877) must have other collateral grounds on inadmissibility that will directly affect any type of vida for that Portuguese national, possibly even rendering that person...

What do you mean when you say point of contact? A co-sponsor is agreeing to be financially responsible for the person here in America and your income and tax obligations affect that.
Best!
And also if I have opened the Doordash account mistakenly and deactivated on the same day. Will it be in the records?
If your extra work does not interfere with your H1B main duties you may derive additional income in your spare time.
his application is still processing. do i wait till he becomes a citizen or can i go ahead and send in my petition form?
You can not adjust status through him until he has attended a ceremony and is a USC. You may only adjust status through him - while he is an LPR - if you are here on a current visa and have no time wherein you were out of status.

Yes. You can file for Adjustment of Status while you are waiting for a decision on her I-130. Make sure to include a copy of the Notice of Action confirming receipt of the I-130 and a copy of the I-130 that was submitted. Best wishes!
So my Green Card expired and the I-797 Notice Of Action ( Extra 18 Months ) has been expired also
My question is I have to travel outside the United States can I do that with my expired I-797 notice?
Thanks
You should not travel with an expired green card without a valid extension. You can call USCIS and request an INFO Pass appointment to get a stamp in your passport that will extend the validity of your conditional card. If your case is taking longer than USCIS processing times (check here:... Read more »
No, only the natural children, who are U.S. citizens, can petition their parents.
Assuming the petition of a parent can be approved by USCIS, the beneficiary can be barred from admission on an approved petition by the U.S. State Department or DHS, where their past or present conduct... Read more »
No, the process will not go fast enough. There are too many restrictions in place.
The family petitioning process will not work due to highly restricted visa numbers. The U.S. has imposed Title 42 to bar foreign applicants to asylum. The Courts are finding such bars without factual... Read more »
Would they need to apply for refugee status in their current location then proceed? Or go to a different neighboring country with a visa and be there legally then proceed?
Your question is very confusing. I would recommend doing a phone or in person consultation with an immigration attorney to evaluate your fiancee's options. Best wishes!

Now that your case before the court has been dismissed the USCIS has jurisdiction to adjudicate the application. Send a request to the USCIS at the... Read more »

Him and his lawyer forged my name on the marriage licenses . I never said I do , I never even met up with the lawyer. What they did was illegal. I would like to know if I have a strong case against getting this tossed out ?
This is a divorce/annulment issue, not immigration. Please contact a family law attorney. Best wishes!

I am married a U.S. citizen and filed I-130 and I-485 concurrently, but unfortunately forgot to send the receipt notice of I-130 with I-485 form. What should I do? will my I-485 get rejected?
You state that you filed the forms concurrently so how would you already have a receipt for the I-130?
If there is a misunderstanding and you previously filed the I-130 and you are asking that the I-485 be joined with the I-130; Send a co ver letter and the attached I-130 receipt to the... Read more »
What do you mean; "Does she have a case?" A case for what?
A minor is not held accountable for the actions of adults. This will not count against her if she applies to immigrate or for a non immigrant visa.
