1. Criminal record, Illegal stay in the U.S. and other problems
|
What if your relative was once arrested?Can they still immigrate?The answer is, maybe.It depends on a variety of factors including the nature of the offense, what the sentence was, how old the person was when they committed the offense, etcetera.In general it is a good idea to consult with us if your relative has a criminal record (even if the crime occurred overseas) or if your relative has been in the U.S. illegally.
2.. Unique problems with marriage cases
|
:You got married in Korea and you want your spouse here right now.By the time you apply on form I-130 and arrange for a green cardinterview at the U.S. Embassy many, many lonely nights will pass.The Immigration's solution is the K visa.It isn't perfect but the K visa allows you to get your spouse here faster than the traditional method of applying for a green card overseas.After your spouse enters the U.S. with a K visa then you apply on form I-485.
3. The waiting time is unacceptable.
|
This commonly comes up with fourth preference petitions between brothers and sisters.But it could apply to any preference category.If you don't want to be separated from you family members while waiting, the solution is usually to apply for a visa that will allow your relative to live and work in the U.S. for a long time while the green card case is pending.The Immigration allows this under certain circumstances.Examples are H-1, L-1, E-2, or E-1.Whether the Immigration will approve a visa application even though you tell them that you have a green card case pending, depends mainly on what type of visa you are applying for.
4. What are the advantages of having an attorney?
|
