Q: What is the best way to travel when I want my spouse to visit the U.S. and then have us file to adjust her status to PR?
Myron Morales' answer
She has to have the intent to visit at the time of entry. If her intent changes later after her admission, then the USCIS will accept an application to adjust her status to Lawful Permanent Resident. She can also apply for work and travel permits while her adjustment application is pending.

Q: If my Canadian spouse visits the US and then we file form i130 whilst she is here, can she stay until she has PR?
Myron Morales' answer
Canadians are visa free and are not always issued an I-94. If an I-94 is issued, then you can use that to adjust her status from visitor to lawful permanent residence. If an I-94 is not issued, then she can use an Affidavit to prove her lawful inspection and admission. You will need to file the entire adjustment package, not just the I-130, so she can get a work permit and travel permit while she is waiting for the interview.

Q: I have been paying on a house of a deceased friend. About to pay it off, how can I get my name on title?
Joseph A. Gangi's answer
You don't because the house is not yours. You will need the son to execute a deed (and voluntarily to boot) or maybe you satisfy requirements of adverse possession.
