Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate all of the facts to determine what may be the best course of action.

We had to file I-130 separate from I-485. We now have the I-130 receipt of notice and all other supporting documentation. However, in that time, her b-2 expired. Do we need to file I-485 supplement a along with the I-485? Or are we exempt as this is a spousal sponsorship?
answered on Sep 28, 2022
If you, the petitioner, are a U.S. Citizen, then your spouse's B-2 overstay in and of itself is not a disqualifier for adjustment of status purposes. She would not need to file supplement A. Consider, however, scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney... Read more »

Marrying within 90 days on ESTA may be viewed as improper. It would be prudent to marry 90 days after one's entry. Also, that route would be much more expedient in terms of case processing.
However, it goes without saying that a case like that requires a competent immigration attorney... Read more »
We were married in Hawaii, she went back to her home and got stuck in the Philippines because of covid. Her visa was denied probably because I don't make enough money. I am on SSI.

If you are married to her, then you can apply for a spousal visa. If you do not make enough money to financially sponsor her, then you can enlist the aid of a joint financial sponsor. This can be anybody who is a green card holder or a US citizen state side, and if they make enough money, then your... Read more »

Is your girlfriend’s J visa subject to the two year residency requirement? If not, she may be able to adjust status after marriage. Discuss the facts of your situation with counsel in a private phone call.
he was in prison for 4 years 25 years ago & he was deported then came back & he was just arrested for a misdemeanor caused by my uncle & my father was protecting his children & now he’s getting deported back
answered on Sep 21, 2022
If he was previously deported and returned illegally then most likely ICE is reinstating the prior removal order and your father would not have the right to see an immigration judge. He would also be subject to what is termed the permanent bar. This bar states that anyone who has been deported... Read more »

Is there any possibility he can return to the United states?

He would need to have the means to re-immigrate to the United States and apply for an immigrant visa to return. However, depending on what type of “trouble” he had, he might not be eligible for the visa. You should discuss his case with an immigration attorney to determine if he has a... Read more »

It sounds like your cousin is detained in immigration custody and the judge wants him to complete that paperwork to consider whether he will grant him bond to release him from custody.

If I understood your question correctly, your brother has petitioned for your parents when you were under 21, you believe you have acquired F2A status as the result, and you want to know how to maintain that status.
While US citizens can file a petition for their parents (as immediate... Read more »

Hey so i'm pretty young myself and i don't know alot about legal things but i'm wondering if a teenage father (under 20) that's from a foreign country can move/live in the usa if the child is from the usa (and lives in the usa)
answered on Sep 19, 2022
No, just having a child that is born in the United States does not entitle you to come to and/or live in the United States. Your child would only be able to file a petition to immigrate you once they turn 21. You would need to have an independent means of coming to the United States, either by... Read more »

If you submitted the case with USCIS, you should have received correspondence about the case, and if you failed to follow up the case was likely denied or deemed abandoned. If you no longer have the paperwork or do not recall what you received, you can file a FOIA request with USCIS to get your... Read more »

This is a good question. I'm unsure why the left, because there is no guarantee that the I-131 will be approved and it may be delayed and/or misplaced. However, they must return with the advanced parole. Otherwise, they will abandon the adjustment of status. The delay in their return may... Read more »

I got my Permanent Green Card (10yrs) based on marriage. Unfortunately, I got divorced last year. Will that effect my Port of Entry while returning back to USA with my Green Card?

If you have a 10 your card and your returning to the United States with an unexpired card, then you should not have any problem at all. Now if you have any criminal convictions then that would be a problem.
