What is the process for preparing a motion for substitution of attorney for an immigration case?

Asked by a user in Long Beach, CA - over 3 years ago.

Firstly, holding your file hostage is unethical under any jurisdiction. Please advise your attorney of this fact. A substitution of attorney can simply be done by filling out a new G28, with your own name on it, stating or noting thereon that you are appearing "pro per" on it. There are other ways to do it, but this , in my estimation, is easiest. Good luck.

Illegal immigrant becoming a citizen

Asked by a user in Glendale, AZ - over 3 years ago.

I agree with Stuart. The starting point is to determine how your fiance entered the US. That would dictate the nature of what advice an immigration lawyer would give you. This underlying question would govern a 245(i) eligibility, if it were determined that your fiance entered the US without inspection, but that someone or some employer had filed an immigrant petition for him prior to April 30, 2001. Please do seek the advice of an immigration lawyer before seeking any immigration benefit....

IMMIGRATION

Asked by a user in Los Angeles, CA - over 3 years ago.

Sure. File an I-130 for each of your parents in the USCIS having jurisdiction over your place of residence. Check USCIS.gov for more info. Should take less than a year. Contact a lawyer before applying for any relief or benefit with the Immigration Service. Good luck.

Immigration and marriage

Asked by a user in Oakland, CA - over 3 years ago.

I absolutely agree with Eli. You could file a fiancee petition for him while he is in Bahamas and then marry each other within 90 days of his arrival in the US in the K (fiancee) status. Best of luck and congrats on your new life together.

Applying for a Uk passport

Asked by a user in California - over 3 years ago.

The decision to grant your passport application for the UK based on derivative British citizenship rests solely with the British consular authorities having jurisdiction over your place of residence in the US. In California, the UK has 2 consular locations, one in LA and the other in San Francisco. You should consult with them and a UK immigration lawyer as to the feasibility of your obtaining your British citizenship. To get to your specific question: I would state that IF the British...

Husband was deported in 2006, what is the process for getting him status and back into the U.S. we got married in 2007

Asked by a user in Pacoima, CA - almost 4 years ago.

There are several factors that would need to be analysed. Firstly, are you a US citizen? If so, you should speak with an immigration lawyer to discuss the possibilities of your immigrating your husband to the US. If, indeed, your husband was deported to El Salvador, then your marriage and your being a US citizen are not the only factors that are important. The reasons for the deportation are important and a discussion may need to be had about obtaining any waivers resulting from the underlying...

Immigration withdraw doubts

Asked by a user in Santa Rosa, CA - over 3 years ago.

You should contact an immigration attorney. Discuss with that attorney the possibility of filing a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to determine the status of that petition and/or its withdrawal. Recall that if you do so under your own name and address, you are disclosing your address to immigration and if you are out of status that could jeopardise your situation. Please see a lawyer about this and all immigration matters before seeking any immigration benefit.

U.S. immigrant visa for my husband, timeline, I-130, USCIS

Asked by a user in Indianapolis, IN - over 3 years ago.

I concur with Robert entirely about the helpfulness of US consular agents!!!! Of course, you may both travel to the US to be with your mum, as French citizens can enter on VISA Waiver for a max of 90 days. You may then file your I130 and your husband can process for the immigrant visa in France. This is the best mechanism in a difficult time. My best prayers and energy for a great recuperation for your mother.

Will a person on a green card who left the U.S. 3 months ago be allowed back into the U.S.

Asked by a user in Issaquah, WA - over 3 years ago.

If your bf's only concern is his absence from the US for 3 months and the green card on its face is still valid (unexpired), he should be fine. You stated that he left to visit his parents, so he had no intention to abandon his US residence. He should be fine. If you have further clarifications, please write back...in case I missed a detail. Good luck.
