Adjustment of Status

Hello

Posted Mon, 09/12/2011 - 17:05 by Hope_90

I have a few question to ask regarding my status. I came to the US in 2000, at the age of 10 from West africa. I came to have a better life in America. I did not have a mother or father to care for me. My Aunt , who is my mother's sister is my guardian. I have a guardian petition case. I am able to attend school in the US. After graduating from high school , things became a little tuff. I am not able to get financial aid, have a driver license, nor work. My dream has always been to just go to school, graduate, that was all i ever dreamed off after graduating from high-school.

Hello,
My girlfriend entered the U.S legally in Oct 2010 as a B1/B2 visitor. We got engaged in Jan 2011 and I applied for her K 1 visa in Feb 2011. I was wondering if it would be OK to get married while she is here and apply for an AOS? Would her intent at the time of entry be a problem?
Thanks,

I am a US Citizen and working on filling out the paperwork to get my mother her green card. For the form I-765 (Employment Authorization): Can my mother use her CA driver's license as the copy of the Federal Government-issued id required?

Immigration and contract agreement

Hi ,

My employer has filed for ETA 9089 and it is approved. I am paying for the green card processing. Before applying for I-140 he asked me to sign a memorandum which states that I am bearing the complete expenses of the process (filing fees of I-140 , I-485 and $500 extra) . It also states that I need to be with the company for 6 months from the time green card is approved. In case I leave the company prior to 6 months for whatsoever reason, I need to pay $15000 as damaging charges to company.

He says that signing this memorandum is mandatory otherwise he will not file I-140.
