it is possible to correct a mistake in your date of birth. However, the process may vary depending on the circumstances and the agency involved. In your case, since you made a mistake in converting your date of birth from the Hijri Shamsi (Islamic) calendar to the Gregorian calendar used in the... Read 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.
If my OPT gets rejected can I stay in USA based on pending i485? For how long

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... Read 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?
Note that a person... Read more »

I'm assuming you are a US citizen and you are the one that would test positive for drug use. If those assumptions are correct, then you do not have to worry about being administered a drug test by USCIS.

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.
answered on Mar 3, 2020
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.

I have German and American citizenship and his dad is American. How can I get an American birth certificate for him so he can get a social security card?
answered on Dec 22, 2019
Such births are best registered within 6 months of birth. Otherwise, it is unlikely that you can obtain a certificate of birth, abroad. You may seek derivative citizenship for your son at this point. Your son will need to file form N-600 with all of the required evidence. He may need to attend... Read more »

It probably won’t. If your I-485 is approved, it won’t matter. If it is denied, and you unable to successfully appeal the decision, you will need to leave to country.

I would need more information in order to give you a proper answer.

This is because the matter is sent to a specific unit... Read more »
Pros and Cons of DACA? How has been affected by DACA? What laws regulate DACA? What is the current status of DACA? Why was DACA put in place by president Obama? Why has our current president Trump revoked DACA?
answered on Apr 3, 2019
A pro for DACA is that it is good for the economy. A con for DACA is that it encourages illegal immigration. In 2014, the Administrative Procedures Act was used to try to show DACA as being unconstitutional. Last year, DACA was ruled as unconstitutional, but DACA has remained in place while legal...
