I am hoping to get a green card before hand to avoid paying international student costs. Is this possible? If so what are the requirements?
You must have either a sponsoring family member or a sponsoring employer or a few other very narrow categories to qualify for a green card in the USA. If you do not have these options you most likely cannot get a green card. The process can be time consuming. If you go to the USA without proper... Read more »

I am an immigrant working on H1B work permit. I have recently been fined with Civil penalty (retail theft) and charged with misdemeanor.
Question:
1. Shall I make payment or wait for the judgement?
2. What is the consequence on immigration because of this?
I would retain a criminal defense attorney as that crime of moral turpitude will negatively affect your H1B visa and it will be cancelled. The defense counsel once retained could request a hearing and amend that criminal charge to a non CIMT (Crime of Moral Turpitude charge) misdemeanor. Once... Read more »

Yes. She should be ready to prove to the border patrol officer that her visit to the US is only temporary and that she intends to return to her home country because she has strong ties there (ex: job, family, real estate, financial obligations, etc). Best wishes!

My husband is from the UK here on a tourist visa. What forms do I need to fill out so he can stay??
No attorney will guide anyone remotely by way of a remote paragraph to handle such a complex issue as an adjustment of status for an immediate foreign national family member without any review and knowledge of the matter.
We have filled out forms I-130, I-130a, I-485, I-864, I-765.
As soon as USCIS issues a file #, your husband becomes a C-9 beneficiary. He can be present in the US until USCIS adjudicates the I-485. There are 2 final outcomes: Either the application is approved and he receives the green card. Or if it is denied, he could leave the country or appeal.
Can I enter 12 days before?
Yes you may. Up to 14 days before.

When entering the United States with a TN visa, the visa holder must have “nonimmigrant intent.” This is the same as with entering as a tourist so these two visas are not contradictory. As such, you should have no problem entering the US with tourist intent but IF ASKED you should be honest... Read more »
I don’t consider this to be smuggling since I didn’t gain no money and I didn’t cross anyone over the border the illegal aliens were already in Texas I just had to pick them up. And now I got a charge for this and pending court date.
It is irrelevant whether you received any payment for your activities or whether the foreign nationals were in the United States: these are not the requisite elements of the current criminal charge you are facing, witch has a possibility of a prison sentence upon conviction.
You must... Read more »
