Chicago Immigration Attorney.
To add to my colleagues warnings, I would suggest speaking to both a criminal defense attorney and an immigration attorney with expertise in the immigration consequences of crimes. It is important that you have both types of advice. The immigration attorney can advise you and your criminal attorney on the effect different plea agreements would have on your boyfriend's immigration status, whether your boyfriend is eligible for immigration bond, and what, if any, application your boyfriend can...

In general, trips of less than 6 months outside the United States will not affect your permanent residency status as long as you keep your primary residence here. However, if you plan to travel outside the United States frequently, it would be a good idea to speak with an experienced immigration attorney about your case so that you do not abandon your residency. If you are eligible, you might also consider applying for naturalization. As a US citizen you would be able to travel into and out...
You may use your employment authorization document to work for another employer. However, I recommend that my H-1B clients maintain their H-1B status until their permanent resident application is approved in case something goes wrong with their permanent resident application. This way, the H-1B status serves as a back-up to keep you in status if your application for permanent residency through your wife fails. Respectfully, Elizabeth Rompf Bruen Attorney at Law Scott D. Pollock &...
Did you suffer domestic violence during your marriage? If so, I would recommend discussing your situation with an immigration attorney familiar with benefits for survivors of domestic violence and other crimes as you may be eligible for additional benefits.

If you would like me to list time estimates for each of the categories, please state which country your son is from. Thank you, Elizabeth Bruen
When an adult United States Citizen, like your daughter, files a petition for her parent, like you, that parent is not allowed to include their other children in the same petition. In other words, your son is not eligible to become a permanent resident based on your daughter's petition for you. Based on your question, I can see at least two options for your son, but neither will allow him to become a permanent resident immediately. The first option is for your daughter to file an I-130...
In addition, by hiring an attorney, you will have someone with you throughout the application process and at your interview that can answer your questions, make sure that your rights are protected, and ensure that the law is applied correctly in your case.

If your case has been pending for more than 2 years then I think you can benefit from speaking with an experienced immigration attorney. Sometimes our office has been successful moving long pending cases forward by submitting written inquires to the local immigration office, speaking to supervisors on the phone, or going to an INFOPASS appointment with our clients to obtain information about the status of their case. When these steps do not work, we assist our clients in filing a lawsuit...
Whether it is risky to travel internationally during removal proceedings depends on your personal situation. I would recommend that you meet with an immigration attorney experienced in removal proceedings before traveling internationally. However, if you obtain an I-551 stamp, you should be able to work and study in the United States while you are in removal proceedings. Respectfully, Elizabeth Rompf Bruen Attorney at Law Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C. 105 W. Madison...
