I do not have enough information to definitively say whether you need to declare your contempt of court charges when applying for an Australian student visa. However, here are some factors to consider:

If your B1/B2 visa was revoked, you can apply for a new visa, but the revocation will likely be a significant factor considered during the application process. The circumstances of the revocation will be scrutinized, and you will need to provide compelling evidence to overcome any presumed... View More

Having your visa revoked is a serious matter and generally it means that you will face scrutiny in any subsequent visa applications. It is unlikely that you would be able to waive the interview given that your previous visa was revoked; usually, interviews are a required step in the process under... View More

Applying for I-485 with a request for expedited I-131 (Advance Parole) can be pursued, but approval for expedited processing is discretionary and based on specific criteria, such as urgent humanitarian reasons. Traveling on a valid F1 visa while I-130 is approved may pose a risk due to the dual... View More

You must stay if you want to adjust status. You now have immigrant intent for any future admission so advanced parole is mandatory. There may also be other complications with the adjustment. As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who... View More

As a sponsor for your husband's Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), you are required to provide evidence of your income from the most recent tax year. If you have already filed your 2022 tax return and have access to your tax transcripts, you can include them as supporting documents for your... View More

While it is kind of you to want to assist your friend with his immigration paperwork, there is much more to applying for a green card than simply filling out forms. He must actually be eligible for the benefits he is seeking and if he not eligible and applies he will not only be losing the money... View More

The minor child of a US citizen is an immediate relative. That means that there is no wait for a visa to become available. If your child is in the United States legally, you can file an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and an I-485 Application to Adjust Status. This process is currently taking... View More
We have sent a request of withdrawing the I-130 to USCIS more than a month ago. After wanting to expedite this request they said they cannot do it and it is going to be processed like the I-130 petition. The processing time will be the same as for the petition itself. On the internet they usually... View More

There is nothing you can do to make USCIS process the withdrawal faster and there is no set deadline for USCIS to send an acknowledgment. But once the withdrawal has been received by USCIS it is effective as of that date. You can try following up on the acknowledgment by submitting an E-request... View More

The UAE cannot engage in kidnapping, so no, it can’t come and get you unless there is a warrant out for your arrest. If so, there must be a formal extradition process, so again, no, the UAE probably cannot do anything unless it violates your human rights.
Again, if you are uncomfortable... View More

If you're a US citizen and he entered the USA with a visa, then you can sponsor him for a green card despite his overstay.

An attorney would need a lot more information to be able to answer your question. I suggest you start with the USCIS website: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card. Best wishes!

If you entered the USA legally, then your US citizen spouse can sponsor you for a green card. There are numerous forms and documents that you need to file and the process takes about 13 months to complete. I suggest you work with an attorney. Counsel in any state can represent you both.
About a year ago, I started to become suspicious that I was being used for a green card. I thought my suspicions were ridiculous, and so I ignored them. Then, a day after receiving the green card, my spouse dumped me. What should I do?
Edit: My spouse just received the green card with the... View More
