The papers have already been sent to D.C. for processing so they can get their citizenship. This started because of the enlistment into the military and the constant talk with a lawyer. But if the person is discharged, can they still get their parents their papers?
answered on Sep 13, 2021
Possibly, based on one's military discharge status and other factors. You indicated the parents do have a licensed immigration counsel which should be the best legal route as that professional should be intimately familiar with the case fine, correspondence, case filing and evidentiary case support.

OK so anyone who has overstayed his visa by more than 12 months and exits the United States is then barred from returning to the United States for a period of 10 years. If you have overstayed your visa by 20 years and then leave to go back to Singapore, you will not under immigration law be able to... View More 
What is the best way? I am planning to marry my fiancé who lives in the US but I am afraid of these charges not allowing me to live in the US. What are my options?

If you were charged as an adult you may not be eligible to immigrate to the USA. If you were charged as a juvenile the conviction may not effect your ability to adjust status.

Your undocumented status, your longevity in the U.S. , and ownership of real estate will not automatically lead to a lawful status.
Other factors will need to be examined to determine your options:
•Do you have U.S. citizen or resident relatives?
•Have you been the... View More

The FORM I-129F can not be filed on behalf of your fiancée if she is legally married to another person.
A lawful marriage in the Philippines will be recognized in the U.S. Hence your fiancée must first divorce before you can file the FORM I-129F.

It would be best to include him. Not much info is requested, and you can always put down “unknown” for information you don’t know and explain the circumstances at the interview.

If you have been undocumented for more than 180 days and you have managed to file for adjustment of status, I recommend that you do not request an advance parole document. You can travel abroad once you have received your permanent resident status.
Good luck to you.

This question leaves much to interpretation. However, it is my belief that one born outside the USA, born to US Citizens, is eligible to become a US President.

More facts are needed. Is your wife overseas applying for a spousal visa at the foreign consulate ? If so then your processing is going through the normal channels.

No, if the person does not have status or authorization to stay in the US, the person can't ask for permission to re-enter the US to remain without status. They're already breaking the law by being in the US without status. Filing a 131 will only alert the government of the person's presence.
I filed single cause I didn’t know you could file married but filing separately. I’m going to send an amended return along with the transcript. Would that be an issue?

Based on the brief information you shared, it seems that she would be eligible for a passport. That said, you should contact an experienced immigration attorney to provide further information and discuss.
Do I have to disclose this in my N-400?
I went to LVticket authority to be taken care of.
My fine is around $150 for going 5 miles over
My problem is they moved the court date to May. Should I wait after the court day before filing or I should be fine?
answered on Feb 20, 2020
You can file the FORM N-400 with USCIS if you can fulfill all of the requirements for naturalization.
The traffic violation must be disclosed in the application for naturalization. You also will have to eventually disclose the disposition of the violation.
Good luck to you.

answered on Feb 13, 2020
Either you or your spouse can file the relative petition , FORM I-130, with USCIS to commence the process to obtain the immigrant visa for your child.
An experienced immigration attorney can explain the advantages of filing as a resident or a U.S. citizen.
Good luck to you.

The question requires legal advice that can take time and should be limited to an appointment, perhaps, a legal opinion.
As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney, who will take the time to carefully explain what... View More

Public charge is generally not a factor in determining eligibility for citizenship, so no, that should not impact you.

You can write "unknown" if it is truly unknown - but with the current administration I'd be prepared for issues from it. If you have any contact at all with that side of the family, or anyone who may know, I'd reach out to try and get the right answer.
