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!
My 2 step sons are under 21 and live in Nicaragua. I am still married to their dad but his status has not been adjusted yet. Can I still petition them as their step mother?
Yes. You my sponsor your step sons by filing an I-130 for each child.
I was in deportation removal procedure due to miss court date . After years, the judge dismissed the case without prejudice, by ICE request. In the meantime while waiting, my adjustment of status was submitted before the judge who received it based on my marriage with my US citizen spouse; along... Read more »
Your I-485 was filed and is pending with the USCIS. The court had jurisdiction to adjudicate the application when you were in removal proceedings. 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 »

If your boyfriend entered without inspection he may be eligible to apply for a provisional waiver. He would be required to be out of the country for approximately a week if everything is coordinated properly.
Eligibility to file and being approved are two different things and the process is... 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.
You may have to file a waiver of misrepresentation.
Like the title say I want to petition for my mother because she will be retiring next year, but not my father just yet because he won't be retiring for another 5 years. Is it possible to do so? (they are still married). My mother would also need to bring my minor brother with her, but since I... Read more »
Yes if you were a US citizen over 21, then you can sponsor mom, and then you can sponsor dad later. It will not be possible for your brother to accompany mom as her derivative beneficiary, so he will need his own independent grounds to enter like a student visa or a visitor visa. But those are only... Read more »
Hi,
I passed my N-400 interview this week. I was just looking at my passport stamps yesterday and found 1 return date on my N-400 form is incorrect by 1 day. My N-400 is based on marriage. I have taken 3 trips outside the US, since I got my green card -
1) 9 days trip in 2019.... Read more »
Congrats. I doubt that should be an issue. You spent most of your time in the US and that is what is required for the time segment of the form. If you are asked about it at any time explain it as you did here.
I no longer hold a Rwandan citizenship because I left as a refugee.
As an asylee you have to get approval before you travel. A specific document is needed.
You should consult an attorney - the American Immigration Lawyers Association and Justis both have lawyer directories. You can also look on the USCIS website.
I have 2020 tax returns for my husband can I just use that?
Been on hold for so long and time is running out
What should I do?
You do not need the three years tax returns to file for your relative. If you are eligible, you may file as soon as you can.
Good luck
In your posting, you did not indicate how and when you obtained your resident status.
Without knowing that information, it is probable that you may have to file the FORM I-130 on behalf of your ( unmarried ) child.
You should contact an experienced immigration attorney for personalized guidance.
i havea b1 visa valid until 2024 and i have over stayed for 6 years and i want to come back. idont have any felony or criminal record. what are my options during immigration check at nyc airport. i will be travelling soon from india to usa.
Dear Overstay,
I will assume your B-1 non-immigrant visa was issued around 2014. You then came to the US and overstayed your authorized stay of presumably 6 months for more than a year. This alone bars you from seeking admission into the U.S. for 10 years, at which point you will allow to... Read more »
