There are several legal issues that directly affect you in the areas of immigration and family law.

If you don't intend to spend more than 6 months out of a year in the US after you retire then it may be better to officially relinquish your permanent residency (although you may have already abandonned it) and seek a tourist visa which should be sufficient for your couple of entries per year....

If you entered your marriage in good faith and not for the purpose of getting immigration benefit (which USCIS assesses before granting you the green card), your green card card is legitimate. Any threats with purpose of having you being removed is not founded. In addition, by filing a petition on... View More

You should consult an immigration lawyer for specifics on any nuances you may be subject to - particularly whether you need to declare a new location before moving. But generally, residency is prospective and intentional, determined by the place you intend to reside going forward. You have a lease,... View More

You can apply for the green card but you are not put into another visa status while you wait. However, you do not accrue unlawful presence while you wait should your F1 visa expire or you fail to comply with the F1 requirements. In other words, you can stop attending school while your green card... View More
He is also threatening her to take full custody of there child what can I do he threaten to take the baby away to India
answered on Mar 20, 2022
Your sister needs to hire an experienced family law attorney. If the child does not have a passport, the husband won't be able to take the child to India. If the child has a passport, the family court can require the husband to turn the passport over to mom. Best wishes!

More information is needed. A deportation order is final unless the case is successfully re-opened for cause or discretion. It never expires. You may be referring to a bag and baggage letter! The decision to disobey means that you are likely an alien fugitive.

An interview by USCIS is required in most cases involving the filing of the FORM I-485. USCIS in their discretion can waive an interview. This can occur in cases involving an adjustment of status based on a relative petition filed by a U.S. adult son or daughter on behalf of a parent. Interviews... View More
I am currently on J-1 visa, I wanted to ask if there is any limitation if I can use cryptocurrency lending websites to earn passive income? It would be treated as interest income.
answered on Feb 1, 2022
You should ask an immigration attorney by calling them directly. You're asking a question, about earning income on a J-1, and something isn't quite adding up. An immigration attorney can straighten the question out for you.
He want’s to marry in his country then come back to USA and tries to bring his new wife we are not separated or divorced
answered on Dec 9, 2021
You presented this legal issue about four times now and the analysis remains the same; anyone trying to marry anywhere in the United States or in a foreign country while being married to another person is committing an act of bigamy and polygamy and it’s against the law in the United States.
I think he only married me to get his visa he lied and acted that he is in love with me and lied to the immigration officers what can I do
answered on Dec 1, 2021
It can be quite complex, but is possible, to divorce someone living abroad. I suggest you contact a family law attorney who has done it before, or see an immigration attorney for a referral.
He has not asked for a divorce from me is there anything I can do
answered on Nov 30, 2021
If you and your husband are separated, then you should seek a divorce. If he wants to remarry, then he will have to file for divorce if he plans to petition his new wife.
If your husband gets married in another country, while married to you, then the question will be, can you get proof?... View More

There are many things you can do even at this time, however, before selecting the most effective legitimate approach discuss your present situation with a licensed immigration attorney in person or remotely.
answered on Nov 23, 2021
Well you could divorce that person who is trying to commit bigamy or polygamy which both are prohibited in the United States. BE as it may, you need to consult with a family law attorney of your choice regarding your immediate legal choices. Good luck to you.
He’s being charged with, illegal te entry. He had a bond hearing today. The judge told him, he’d be willing to give him a bond. Problem is, ICE would pick him up, and take him to another facility.

Based on the information you have provided, you are requesting bond for a federal charge and there is an immigration hold. This being the case; if granted bond by the judge the inmate is transferred to ICE custody based on the immigration hold. The inmate is not likely to be granted bond by ICE or... View More
What are all the options? Other than k1 visa l. I am born and raised us citizen
answered on Oct 5, 2021
No, probably not. The laws don’t allow those who visit to have immigrant intent. The law presumes immigrant intent, so an applicant for a non-immigrant visa must overcome the presumption.
Otherwise, they can be denied and may possibly be charged with misrepresentation which is an... View More

It is apparent that you both are handling personal naturalization matters without assistance of a licensed immigration counsel. Be as it may, your case shows as pending for one or another reason, as you stated.

I am having issues with my pregnancy. High probability of syndrome. Can I request my husband to come by filing humanitarian parole?
answered on Aug 18, 2021
You can make the request but it is not likely to be granted.
USCIS is asking to show how the degree is directly related to the job but we provided individual courses from my degree that I have used to perform my job duties with the initial petition. What else will be required to build a strong case to answer this RFE?
