Yes, it is possible to correct your date of birth if you made a mistake on your U.S. immigration documents. You will need to submit a request to correct your records with the relevant U.S. government agency.
To do this, you will need to provide documentation to support the correction,... View More

This will most likely be a challenging thing to correct. Your best bet is to contact your country's consulate and have them assist you in correcting this, because you will need some official documentation to prove the facts of your case.

Depends on the country of your birth. You should look at the Visa Bulletin under the category F4 to see the wait times: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-january-2023.html
i was 15 when i got the charge and i am now 18. the requirement says, “They must comply with all federal and state laws, pass a criminal background check” would i fail the criminal background check or does that only apply to felonies?
answered on Feb 17, 2022
If you have a personal criminal record it will show during any state or federal criminal background check. Look into a possibility of expunging it under the state law if legally applicable with a local licensed attorney.

You need to consult directly with an experienced immigration attorney even remotely as any incorrect action on your part may affect your immigration benefits or adjustment of status. Do not delay as acting blindly would be rather foolhardy.

The USCIS made a mistake. You may want to call the 800 number to request an ADIT appointment at your local USCIS Field Office, but that can take a while. You may instead prefer to file form I-90 to ask for the correction, and send a copy of the card. However, it is unclear whether the lockbox... View More
& will it affect me wanting to sponsor my mom when i become a citizen?
answered on May 7, 2021
At this time Unemployment benefits are not considered public charge as they are considered to be earned benefits through the person’s employment so your sponsor will not have to repay those to the government. Hopefully this rule will not change before you apply to sponsor your mom. Best wishes!

You could try. Immigration through employment is difficult. Your best bet would be to consult with an immigration attorney who has experience with employment based immigration to see what options are available.

The erm "vapor products" shall have the same meaning as provided in the Prevention of Youth Access to Tobacco Act.
Therefore this is the same as possession of tobacco products (ie cigarettes, cigars, etc...)

Even if you are under the age of 18 and its your first offense and its a misdemeanor?
answered on Mar 12, 2021
More information is needed. Which court? The County Court cannot deport you, but DHS Officers may take action. A local police officer is usually not given any control.
The answer may be yes, but it depends upon the type of judge! Is this an immigration judge?

As far as I know my boyfriend was brought over through his parents visa as a child, they overstayed their allotted length and he is now 19. We want to get married to get him his citizenship. They came by sea.

If you are a US citizen and your boyfriend entered legally, despite that he is now out of status, then after you get married he has a case. Discuss with an attorney anywhere in the USA for representation.
