I was deported by a immigration judge But being Cuban, Cuba didn’t take me back so I was left in the us under supervision, can I travel to Hawaii I have a state Id license, a social security and work permit.

Good luck to you.
I am re-filing for a parent. My lawyer said in order to re-file, I would need to start with an I-130, request a FOIA (EOIR) and resubmit an I-212. I just wanted to know if I can do the I-130 on my own that way it is less costly on my end.
In your case, you should consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can thoroughly outline all of your options for immigration benefits and what you can file with USCIS at this time.
The attorney can discuss with you whether the FORM I-212 is required.
The FOIA is always... Read more »
hi i have a question for you.
I have pro bono lawyer who is representing me filing form i-130, unfortunately, my lawyer did not ask me to sign the form g-28 and he already filed the form i-130. What happens in that situation? Will my application be processed or get rejected? please advise... Read more »
A filing with an unsigned FORM G-28 can be processed by USCIS as a pro se filing and the receipt will be sent directly to you. In the alternative, USCIS can deem the unsigned FORM G-28 as incomplete and return the entire package to you or your attorney.

I am a US citizen and I want to bring my boyfriend from Dominican Republic to the United States. I would like to know which would be the best and fastest way - should I merry him in DR or should I apply for the fiance visa here in the US ?

My F1 status expires 09/15/20. I filed a change of status I-539 on 08/19/20 after I was in a car accident, it's pending. I have a job offer that will submit H-1B (cap-exempt) but they won't be able to get it in before 09/15/20. Can they still submit it even after this date?
I-539 makes things a little complicated. If you filed extension on August 19, 2020, your unauthorized stay will not be accumulated. Yet it does not mean you are in status. Nevertheless, your best bet is to file H1B as soon as possible and attach a the receipt of I-539.
The child is a minor and we feel she needs to come to USA with her mom.
Your husband can sponsor his mother once he is a USC. He can go ahead and file the Alien Relative Petition now. His mother will need to apply for immediate join to follow when she gets her LPR status. Whether the daughter will age out first depends on her current age.
I suggest you consult... Read more »

I am completing a change of status application for a change of status from F1 to B2. My OPT expired 07/17, I am in grace period until 09/15. My I-94 says D/S. To answer the question “What date are you requesting your requested status be extended until?” Is it okay to start counting the 180 days... Read more »
The question is "what date are you requesting the status to be extended until"? But you are changing status, not extending... Thus this question does not apply to your case. You need to focus on applying for B2 visa.
