Am I eligible for a tourist visa?

You say you want to apply for a visa. To visit? Or to live here? What were the conditions of the humanitarian visa. If you were unlawfully present for more than 180 days, you will need a waiver before you can reenter. I strongly suggest you consult with an experienced immigration attorney to flesh out the issues and render appropriate advice. Curtis F.

Cost of immigration attorney in los angeles

Fees vary. It will be a long wait for your brother. The currently filing fee for form I-130 is $420. That is the fee paid to the Department of Homeland Security. I think an average fee for an I-130 with no issues is about $1,000.00 to $1,200.00. But that is just for the I-130. That is not for the whole case. Curtis F.

You need to demonstrate good moral character, especially in the last 5 years. Also, you cannot be on probation during the application period. Probation must be terminated before you can apply for citizenship.

DUI , Wrong way crash , F1 Visa

Get a good criminal defense attorney. Generally, a conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) is not considered a "crime involving moral turpitude." If this is your only criminal violation, chances are good that you will NOT be placed in removal proceedings if convicted for one DUI. However, I would still recommend getting the best criminal defense you can get. And the criminal defense attorney should contact a good immigration attorney to make sure that if you do enter a plea,...

I am pregnant. Can I marry my bf who has just recently been deported to mexico? He has no criminal record.

Of course you can marry him. And there is absolutely no time period you need to wait until you get married. Will this help him immigrate to the US? That is another question. Chances are he will require an I-601 waiver if he has been unlawfully present. And he will require an I-212 waiver to overcome the deportation. There could be further complications if he ever unlawfully reentered the US after having already been unlawfully present. If he only entered the US one time, chances...

We are awaiting approval for the I-130, but my visa is expiring soon. What can we do so we aren't separated?

Not sure how your husband entered the US. If he entered legally, he can probably apply for Adjustment of Status (form I-485) and employment authorization (form I-765). This is if you are currently in the US. It's also not clear where you are when you say "I must return home." This makes me think you may be abroad. Curtis Pierce 213 327 0044 www.cpvisa.com

Can i get deported??

Depends on when you were admitted to the US and other factors. If you were admitted to the US within the past 5 years and the offense is punishable by a sentence of one year of more, the short answer is yes. I would respectfully suggest that you contact a reputable and experienced immigration attorney to assist you in this matter. Curtis F.
