Is there any way that if he can still try to get his green card, can we get some sort of hardship waiver? Or would that be out of the question since he entered the US from Mexico illegally twice? I suffer from anxiety and depression since age 18. My anxiety has not gotten any better. My son also has a speech experiment and gets sick very often. He loves his dad very much and I do too. I have never lived in Mexico and cannot imagine how hard it would be for my son and I to adjust to life there. Please answer my question. Thank you.

I don't recall being told by the Argentinian authorities whether or not I would be able to re-enter the country without problems. I am pretty sure my girlfriend told me I wouldn't have any problems as long as I wasn't deported. If anyone finds out please respond here. I am jellyintheoven btw. I deleted my old email address a while ago and lost my password so I had to create a new username.
I'm not certain I'm in the correct place for this? But I have a question/concern.
I am USA born and citizen. I have come acquainted with a female from Russia.
Anyhow, she wishes to travel here to USA to meet and stay with me during the duration of her issued Tourist Visa. I believe the duration of said Visa to be of 90 days?
My question is this, Is this procedure in this order correct and wise? or should she attempt to come under a different Visa and process?
I am fairly certain this will turn into a marriage once we have spent time together and sort the details. My concern is not to make a mistake and have the need for a back-track because we started on wrong process?
After all money and time doesn't grow on trees so any advice in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks kindly!
I don't see any reason why a background check being conducted for the purposes of a volunteer position would have any impact on your green card application. Best of luck.
In general, the USCIS officers do not require that you prove what that applicant's intent was at the time he or she entered the country at the time of the AOS interview unless the officer has some specific reason to believe that the entry was fraudulent. In your case, it doesn't sound like immigration fraud is an issue at all. As long as your husband did not intend to stay when he entered then it should not be an issue at all. I doubt it will come up in your case. If you decide you'd like some help with you AOS petition please shoot me an email. Sorry for the delayed response. Best of luck.
Ameera, this forum is for those who purchased my K1 Guide. That guide includes step-by-step instructions for completing the next step in the process. If you purchase my guide then you can post any additional follow up questions here.
We have also been reading about this topic and have run across this 30/60 rule, and makes us doubt as to when we should actually turn in the paperwork to USCIS. We have 1 week before our flight to NYC leaves and another week after that before we would be scheduled to go back to Spain. Should we wait til after 30 days? or just file ASAP?
if anybody has green card thru employment. does he/she has to work with sponsoring employer all time ? if doesnt have to then how long he/ shehas to legally to protect citizenship? also, he/ she can work with any other emplyer while working with sponsoring employer too in diffent job title or duties?
Thank you for your reply. Whilst we had understood that we could be asked to provide additional documentation if something was missing from our original application, we did not think we would be given any opportunity to appeal if our case is denied at/following the interview. We understood that applying to adjust status from the VWP is considered the 'most risky' course to take for this reason - the lack of opportunity to appeal.
First i would like to thank you for your response to my query and thank you for being honest.
If i may ... With the situations in that country and the hardship my sister goes through ... In your opinion, would the fact that she once tried and failed hurt her chances the second time around in getting a chance for a visit ?
What i mean is, with the news i have read, the shootings and attacks on the embassy in Abuja, do you think that will only make it harder ?
Why do they take their frustrations out on "All" of the citizens there when there are many who actually has never and would never overstep that line from good to bad ? Those who just simply either want to visit or study in the land of plenty...?
I understand Phil that you dont have all the answers ...i guess im just tryna grab at something tangible and meaningful knowing darn well (pardon my french) that im only grasping @ thin air ..
Smh ... history actually shows that they allow the well to do and their off springs entry easily and they are the ones who ends up with bombs in their underwear !! .. The irony of it all.
Its sad Phil and my heart hurts, not only for my sis' but for all those not lucky enough to be born or raised here..
Sorry, I don't generally answer employment based immigration questions in this forum. I also don't answer complicated questions like this one that could potentially result in serious adverse consequences in this forum. Best of luck to you.
Thank you for your post. I'm sorry to hear that your sister's application was denied. It's sad to hear about this kind of thing. Unfortunately, visitors visa can be very difficult to get especially for people from Nigeria. The fact that she has a sister and mother here makes it even more difficult because they probably think she is unlikely to return. The other problem is that these decisions are entirely within the discretion of the consular officer so (as you correctly note) there is no appeal or other relief. I think the only thing you could do would be to apply again and maybe seek some help from an immigration attorney in documenting the application to improve the chances of an approval. She has to be able to establish that she has strong ties to her country, is likely to return upon completion of her authorized stay in the U.S. and has sufficient financial resources to support herself while she is here. I don't know her situation so can't say how or if she can likely make a good case to establish these things but it might be worth a try under the circumstances. If you don't have any luck with this and your sister would like to immigrate to the U.S. you should get an immigrant visa petition filed for her so it is in the queue because there is a very long waiting period for visas for sisters of citizens. It probably won't be approved in time for her to see your mother but might be nice for her down the road.
I really can't give you any estimate of what your chances are. However, I think it is likely that the previous immigrant visa petition will significantly increase the chance that your F1 student visa application will be denied because it evidences that you had a rather recent intent to immigrate to the U.S. F1 student visa applicants must establish that they have a residence abroad which they do not intend to abandon.
Sorry, I don't generally answer H1B related questions in this forum. This question is also just too complicated with too possible serious consequences and I don't answer those types of questions in this forum either. Best of luck to you.
These questions have very serious implications and are very case specific. I would have to know a lot more about your case and conduct a full review of your case to give you an answer that you could rely upon. However, based on what you have told me I would say that you would probably have to answer yes to all of the following questions on Form N-400:
16. Have you ever been arrested, cited or detained by any law enforcement officer (including USCIS or former INS or military officers) for any reason? In your post you said that you were arrested so this would have to be "yes."
17. Have you ever been charged with committing any crime or offense? If you were booked and were required to post bond in order to be released I would bet you were charged with a crime. The fact that you had to see the district attorney also indicates that you were probably charged so I think the answer to this question would also have to be "yes."
21. Have you ever been in jail or prison? In your post you did not say whether or not you ever went to jail. You said you were arrested and booked but were then out on bail within 6 hours. I assume you were put in jail after you were booked until you were bailed out. Assuming this is true, I think you would also have to answer "yes" to this question.
If this was just a minor offense and it was in fact ultimately dismissed it might not result in any serious consequences with respect to your application for citizenship but it could so you should probably consult with an attorney.
But you didnt mention what kind of web development services are you offering.

Note: I will be filing N400 (citizenship) based on 5-year residency.
If you did not receive an I-94 but were inspected and lawfully admitted to the U.S. you should simply enter "NONE."

Alejandro your case is similiar to my husbands case. i would like to email you.
My husband also got a life time ban no waiver under the same section of the law for tattoos nothing else no criminal records.
There suspicion and his tattoos were all they said was their basis for the denial.
There are several other people that i have met through this rough journey that have spouses also denied for the same issue.
I really wish there was like a class action lawsuit that we could do.

Please could you reply to our previous message - is there a right of appeal or not? Many thanks.
Are you back by now? What has actually happened when you tried to re-enter the country?
thank you for your response

It wouldn't make a bit of difference. The priority dates for visas are the same whether the applicant is in the U.S. or abroad.
