Q. What do I need to do to be able to live with my fiancée in the US??
A: Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can discuss with you the K-1 fiancé(e) visa process. This would be the process to pursue if you intend on having your wedding ceremony occur inside the United States. If, however, you wish to be married outside of the United States, then your soon-to-be U.S. Citizen spouse would refrain from filing anything until you are legally married, at which point a Petition for Relative case could be filed, leading eventually to an immigrant visa case through the appropriate U.S. Embassy abroad. Many attorneys offer online video consultations, which may be convenient for you if you are outside of the United States. ... Read More
Q. My brother came with visa B1/B2 if i do a petition I-130 x him can he stay longer that the period issue by immigration?
A: The filing of a petition for relative does nothing to extend the validity of one's authorized period of stay in visitor status. If your brother wishes to extend his stay in visitor status, he needs to file with USCIS a Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status. Moreover, he can only request up to 6 months of extended visitor status. Note that the backlog for availability of green cards for siblings of U.S. Citizens is approximately 15 - 20 years. Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can discuss with your brother possible alternative solutions to remaining in United States (for the near future). Manty attorneys offer online video consultations. ... Read More
Q. I’m applying for citizenship in a few weeks but I just realized I’ve been exempt for taxes this whole year.
A: Not having filed a federal income tax return in any particular year is not per se a problem if in fact you can demonstrate that you were under no legal obligation to have filed a tax return. Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who may be able to assist with presenting your facts and legal arguments to USCIS in connection with your prospective application for naturalization. Many attorneys offer online video consultations.
