Can i go to jail or lose my green card???

Asked by a user in Houston, TX - 6 months ago.

I agree, you need a good criminal defense attorney to challenge the charge against you. Otherwise a conviction for prostitution would be a CIMT and will be a problem with your PR renewal. 713-772-2300 www.Fonglegal.com

If a L1B is on I-94 without restamping after L1B ext. approval, can a L2 EAD travel outside usa if L2 & EAD got in usa itself?

Asked by a user in Irving, TX - 7 months ago.

You need to take the I-797 approval notice of the L-1B extension and apply for your L visa issuance at your home consulate. Get a full copy of the petition from the company attorney and go online to the DOS website to get detailed information for the visa issuance procedure and the DS-160.
