she wants to give her 2 daughters already here in us school to my wife and I what can we do to keep them here?
answered on May 3, 2016
It depends on how old the daughters are, you have left out a lot of information. If the daughters are here on a dependent visa, they wouldn't be able to stay here if their mother leaves. I highly recommend you talk to an immigration attorney in private to help you with this situation. Many... View More

If so which forms would we need to fill.

I filed a parole in place and got it approved. The USC husband was in the military and the wife entered the U.S. unlawfully. The parole in place only deals with the unlawful entry, NOT any unlawful presence that would have accrued. You need to speak with an attorney who has gotten PIP approvals. I... View More
and 601 waiver. I might have to move back to Canada for work. If I move back to Canada will I still need a waiver to re-enter as a non-immigrant?
answered on Jan 6, 2016
If you are a legal permanent resident you would not require another 601. You are no longer a "nonimmigrant" because legal permanent residents are considered "Immigrants". All the best.

If you are about to get married to a US citizen it is easier and quicker to apply for a green card through your spouse. The process only take about 6 months, however if you are not sure if you came in legally you should contact the CBP to see if they have a I-94 for you but don't do it... View More

The process takes about a year and half, but since your daughter is 17 years old you should start the process as soon as you can. If she turns 21 before this process is over she will have to wait for about 6 years, so contact an immigration attorney as soon as you can and get started with the... View More
I am a F1 student and due to the harsh political instability in my country , my father's business has gone down badly which is making hard for me to pay my tuition fee as he is my sponsor.I think I will need a work permit to support myself very soon .
answered on Nov 23, 2015
There are not a lot of options if you are on F1, you may however get a work permit based on economical hardship. Talk to your school's DSO or an immigration attorney in private to find out your options. All the best.

My mother is being spiteful and she will falsify evidence if I don't conform to what she wants me to do. Can she get me stripped of my citizenship and have me deported? If she can, can I stop her by getting married to a citizenship?
answered on Oct 21, 2015
Revoking a citizenship is not that simple, and falsifying evidence is easier said than done. I recommend you contact an immigration attorney in private to discuss about your problems to first understand how the process works so you can make decision whether you have to marry someone from the US....

I used my Advance Parole when I reentered USA from an overseas trip. I received a H1B extension after that, which is valid until 2018. My EAD has expired. Am I legally allowed to work on my H1B approval or should I stop working and resume after receiving EAD renewal?
answered on Oct 1, 2015
Why are you renewing your EAD while you have an H1B? You do need an EAD because you already have an employment visa, if you are working two jobs while in H1B you are doing something illegal. Talk to an attorney to find out. All the best.
