Legal Answers
32 Questions Answered
- Q. FORM I-797E HAS A# ON IT. FOR FORM G-325A IT ASK FOR FILE NUMBER A AND ALSO ALIEN REGISTRATION NUMBER IS IT THE A NUMBER
- A: Yes, your alien registration number begins with a capitol letter "A." followed by 9 numbers; Viz: A206 678 321
- Q. I was a victim of a crime 10 years ago i was not aware of the visa u and will like to know if i can still apply?
- A: May be too long ago, and the difficulty would be in getting a DA or Asst. police chief to agree to sign the certification of cooperation needed. I would urge you to consult with and hire an immigration lawyer to assist you with this case. Not because I think you’re not capable of handling it, you may will be, but in order for the lawyer to debrief and brief you, analyze, assess and evaluate your case in order to maximize the possibilities for a successful result.
- Q. I work on a contract with a nursing agency - if I decide to buy it out, will that affect my immigration status?
- A: I think, yes. But your Q requires too many Qs on my part and lots of As on yours. I would urge you to consult with and hire an immigration lawyer to assist you with this case. Not because I think you’re not capable of handling it, you may will be, but in order for the lawyer to debrief and brief you, analyze, assess and evaluate your case in order to maximize the possibilities for a successful result.
- Q. Is my girlfriend able come visit me in the US while we apply for a marriage visa or should she stay in the Philippines?
- A: No, and yes, she should stay in the Philippines.
- Q. Question regarding forming LLC and passive investment while being on H1b
- A: There is a gray area between working which would cause your visas to automatically terminate, and passively managing investments. If you have a manager and you and your partners are directing him and overseeing the business - it may be okay. However, if you guys are behind a cash register 24/7, then you'd be deemed as working illegally.
- Q. Can an ex-Muslim (Muslim apostate) from Pakistan come to the USA on Humanitarian grounds?
- A: She should be eligible to visit the USA on a B-2 visa. I doubt that she would be issued humanitarian parole.
- Q. My boyfriend lied on his B2 visa application that has an employer. Will this keep him from getting a visa in the future?
- A: Yes. He needs to show that he has strong ties to his country to convince the U.S. Consulate that he will return. Such evidence consists of: long-term employment, spouse & or children remaining behind, land ownership, business ownership, and assets in the home country. He should wait a minimum of 6 months before trying again, and even then he may be denied. Unfortunately, he fits a profile: single males & females 18-40 who have nothing holding them home. Therefore, their intent to return after issuance of a nonimmigrant visa is highly suspect.
- Q. I have filed I-130 for my spouse but have not added my step children to the petition. I plan to do so. My stepson and
- A: I would urge you to consult with and hire an immigration lawyer to assist you with this case. Not because I think you’re not capable of handling it, you may will be, but in order for the lawyer to debrief and brief you, analyze, assess and evaluate your case in order to maximize the possibilities for a successful result. I would recommend that you file separate I-130 petitions for each step-child.
