I had Green Card but was not living in the USA. When I came in December 2017, I was stopped by CBP at the airport and after lots of paperwork and hours, got a Parole Card and documents related to Removal Proceedings. I was given a NTA that said that date, time and place were "to be... Read more »
Consider scheduling a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney who may be able to make some inquiries on your behalf.
I've already changed several addresses without reporting USCIS about that. Does it lower my chances of getting citizenship and what do I need to do now?
Thank you
It won't affect your chance of becoming US citizen. Not reporting change of address may lead to loss of communication from USCIS. That's about it.
Will my husband be able to come here while we do this ? The i-130 and other documents are paid for and already approved. we are awaiting interview with the consular office but we would like to switch to AOS. Can he come here and start this process?
Unless your husband has a visa he will not b e admitted into the USA.
Consular processing requires an immigrant visa application be completed online. I assume you have done this.
Adjustment of Status in the USA requires a pending I-485. I assume you have not filed an I-485.

What documents are required in order to renew your license is a question for the DMV. Your EAD may be automatically extended based on USCIS actions taken during COVID. More information is needed.

You need to talk with an attorney ASAP. It sounds as if you are being rejected because something is missing. Don't submit a fourth time without at least talking with a lawyer who can look at all the documents and your specific situation. Justia has a lawyers directory and so does the American... Read more »
He arrived with a K1 visa been married 2 years
Florida is no fault state, meaning if the marriage is irretrievably broken, judge may grant a divorce. Filing TPs and work permit should not affect divorce.
I have my dad who lives overseas he's coming soon to USA , and he's married to a two women they will accept it or not and what we should do.
You should talk with a lawyer as soon as possible. Your question has a lot of issues and so please check the directory on Justia or the American Immigration Lawyers Association for an attorney.

You can because when your asylum is pending your unauthorized stay is not occurred. You should hire an attorney to help you to avoid miscommunication.
My husband and I currently live in Florida. He is here with a work visa and I’m with a spouse visa and we’re in the process of getting our green card but we do not have it yet. Can we file for a divorce in Florida? Or do we have to file in our country where the marriage took place?
You ask a very good question. So long as you have been a Florida resident for at least 6 months, you can file for divorce in Florida. Good luck!
I am a US citizen and we are planning to get married soon. She is Japanese and will be. Oming to visit in July, we talked about the viability of getting married while she’s here but we want to know if she specifically needs a fiance visa to enter and get married.

Hello. You run the risk of her being accused of entering with the sole intent of getting married when you petition for her. The customs and border officer will ask her the purpose of her visit when she comes on the tourist visa/visa waiver. The answer will be recorded and stored. The fiance visa is... Read more »
My fiance is a US citizen and we getting married soon. I came to the US 18months ago with a Visa Waiver Program. Will it be possible to change my status? How long does it take?
I do not think you can adjust your status if you entered via Visa Waiver Program. You will have to go through consulting proceeding to receive your permanent residence status after your I-130 is approved.
I never received the letter and NVC terminated the case. My brother has been in the US since 1990 and does not need a visa. But the application for adjustment of status says he needs to attach a copy of approval letter to his I-485 application.
Follow the instructions provided you. You may obtain a copy of the approval letter by filing a FOIA.

You should fill out I-130 and answer all of the questions pertinent to your Dad's marriage truthfully. Your Mom's death certificate is not required as initial supporting document.
