Would prior arrest/charges of violent crime affect my permanent residence application?

I hope you mean the charges were dismissed. The fact that you did not stand trial may not mean that you were not found guilty. If the charges were dismissed, that is very good. When you file for permanent residency, you will be required to state whether you have been arrested, charged etc for any offense. Your answer must be yes. You will need to show the outcome of the arrest/charges. Please get copy of the disposition of the case so you can show that to USCIS. I suggest that you use a lawyer...

Do I really need to file I-131 ?

You do not have to file the form I-131 based on your statements. There is actually no fee for the form I-131 or the form I-765 when you pay the filing fee for adjustment of status. All those are included. Also bear in mind that if you have been out of status for more than six months before filing for the adjustment of status, you are not eligible for advance parole. Even if the Service were to approve it, you will be taking a huge risk to travel out the country with that in the hope of re...

Yes yes and yes. A marriage is valid in US if it is valid in the country in which it was entered into. The same goes for divorce. You cannot be divorced in US while married elsewhere and vice versa.

Can these charges really stick and y or y not

It is still a charge. You are being accused and it will stick or not stick based on your defense of the charges

My husband has a class 6 felony discharge of a firearm within city limits in 2006.

He can motion the court to designate the case a misdemeanor especially if that was part of the plea agreement. He will show remorse and rehabilitation. He should contact his Adult probation officer and go from there.

There is no waiting period. However if you came into United states as a visitor and you had indicatd your intention to return to your home country, but you marry the next day after entering the States and file the next day after marriage, you are asking for trouble.

I am a US Citizen. My mother has a green card but has been in India since 2006 - now she wants to come and stay with me.

Yes she still can. Staying away for more than a year is presumed as abandonment of the green card but it depends on her intent. So at the airport, she will be asked if she knew that the length of her absence from US is an abandonment of the permanent residency. If this is the first time this is happening and she did not know that she was not allowed to stay away that long, she should simply say so. Then the officer will issue her a warning. She will be allowed in but she cannot stay away that...

Conditional residency, abusive relationship

No you will not be deported at all. If your card expires in June, it means you should be filing for removing the condition Form I-751 by March which is 3 months before. It is not far from today so i recommend to contact your immigration lawyer right away and I think you should be fine.

Hello Lawyer Does my B1/B2 visa still valid, where can i check it?

If you applied for F1 visa it means you will have filled out the form I-539 to change your visa from B1 to F1 which I suppose was granted for you to go to school on. So now you do not have the B1/B2 anymore. You can try using the F1 to return if your trip was a short one and you are returning to school.

Can someone enter the u.s after being outside of it for 3 years and has a valid green card?

She still can enter the US with her green card if she did not know the time limitations. The Officer who inspects her at the airport or port of entry will then warn her so that she is on notice that a prolonged stay outside of the US may be viewed as abandonment of the permanent residency.
