No person is illegal, their actions may be or have been. In the case of so-called "illegal immigrants," this action may be a one-time decision decades ago by someone in their family to cross a border, often bringing someone with them as a child when that child had no control over this.

My question is that we met on an adult website and within weeks we fell in love. I have went to the Philippines and met him in person along with his family. While I was there we got engaged. Is meeting on an adult website something that would red flag our K1 visa?
answered on Oct 2, 2022
A US citizen can sponsor a foreign national for a fiancée visa provided the two have met in person, two years prior to filing the K visa application. There would be no red flag because you met each other on the web. There may be a red flag because of the age difference, and thus your application... View More

It seems that the manner of this request was improper, so it had to be denied. There are two options. The option you presented to USCIS could only be done in a way that could approve each, separately.
This seems to have proven to be more expensive than necessary, but more information is... View More

It depends what other legal issues are involved. I strongly suggest a confidential legal consultation with an experienced attorney.
In 2018, I came to the US under F1 for a Bachelor’s degree. In the same year, I started dating a citizen.

A marriage based green card is not related to the employment issues. If you seek to get a visa or green card through employment this maybe different.

There are several questions to be answered at the outset, e.g., whether you are 21 years or older, where your mom and grandma are located, whether you have sufficient income yourself, or whether you might need a third-party sponsor. There are more questions depending on the answers to the previous... View More

My H-1B visa expires on 5th August 2021. Currently, I'm outside of the USA and planning to enter on 30th July 2021. Can I enter the USA with a one-week valid visa? Will there be any problem at the port of entry?
answered on Jul 26, 2021
BP may very likely deny you entry into the United States. Normally you must have at least three months before your visa will expire. Secondly, if you only have a week left on your visa BP will presume that you are in violation of the terms of the visa.
