Once you divorce, your spouse will no longer qualify as a dependent. Your spouse will have to qualify for an immigration status on her own. Your children will remain your dependents.

This will be disclosed on his medical report, but it is not a ground of inadmissibility when a US citizen marries a non-citizen.

You can see if they will allow an appeal, but if not, you might have to refile.
I already had a couple of H1B visas, I left the US soil for 5 years on an unfinished one (exp. was 2012 I left in 2011). I came back in 2016 under a J1. My question is: Can I get an H1B sponsor somewhere else and will I be cap exempt? The employer I wanna get a sponsor from is my former employer a... View More

You can look for and be sponsored for an H-1B elsewhere. Whether it will be a cap exempt will depend upon the employer and how well documented is its affiliation. You also need to consider whether you need a J-1 waiver.
Hello,

Is your fiancé a U. S. citizen? If so, then he can file an immigrant visa petition for you and you can adjust status, so long as your entry was lawful.
Your situation is complicated. You need to consult with an attorney.
I received my green card through EB5 Investor Program and at the time of application I was single . I got married thereafter and my wife is on B1/B2 visa right now . Please advise what is the best procedure to be followed for the application of my wife's visa .

Thank you for your question!
You can file an immigrant visa petition for your wife now, but it will likely take a couple of years before she can apply for an immigrant visa. She will need to return to her country of origin to attend a visa interview. If she has any unlawful presence, she... View More
He is 22 years old and is a recipient of DACA. Could he be deported because of this?

If the company is suing him, it's a civil suit. In a civil suit the court can enter a judgment against him for money. It has nothing to do with jail.
If he is charged with the crime of theft by deception, he is facing up to 10 years in prison. He should hire a lawyer.

That looks more like a statement than a question. If a person is being removed, due to immigration status, that usually means that the state would not issue a license.
I had already applied for his greencard, but the case is frozen at the moment because we don't know what to do since he recently came here illegally. Does he have to be here with me in Georgia and see an attorney to help us with his green card since I applied from here in Georgia??
answered on Jul 29, 2017
Unfortunately, more information is needed. I would at least consult with an attorney. If you don't live together, and you both live in the USA, you should be prepared to explain why you aren't living together.

It is best to wait until the change of status application is approved, at least in most states. You could check with your local state authorities about this, however.
My ex-wife lives in GA and has custody of my children. Her green card has expired and I'm pretty sure she hasn't renewed it. Is there a way to find out if she has with out directly asking her?

Why doesn't she simply file to renew her green card now? Better late than never!

You aren't liable. However your parents are. Check with the embassy to see what the procedure is. I don't see a small claims case affecting a visa.

This is a problem, and you need your immigration to answer some questions for you.
If the license from another state is valid, you may be OK> But, it sounds like you told the police you lived in GA. This is likely why (if you still had a valid license elsewhere) that you were told you... View More

If the light is defective, it will likely be fixed before you can get back over there to videotape the malfunction. If you can take your video to court, most traffic court judges will cut you some slack.

A divorce or separation before he receives a green card approval will in effect cancel his green card application.

Coweta county residence since 2004. He is an Irish citizen. Abandoned now for 3 months with 3 kids, mortgage, etc. He refuses to offer any support. Told me to take him to court. What can I do?
answered on May 9, 2017
You should hire a family law attorney and file for divorce on the grounds of abandonment. This is going to involve some complex legal issues including child support, alimony and international service so I recommend that you find a good family law attorney and get some help with this.
