I need a immigration lawyer: hey, i am planning on getting married , and the young gentleman i am marrying has some misdemeanors from 10 years ago. Will that be a problem when i am filing.
Matthew’s answer: It depends on what the crimes are and whether it is the beneficairy or Petition that has the record. This is only one of many important considerations in a Marriage based Green Card case.
How long will it take for me to get the interview after my biometric is finished. I am married to a US citizen. Please let me kn: can i leave the country since i have my advance parole now. thank you.
Matthew’s answer: Baltimore is currently taking about 3-4 months to schedule interviews from the receipt date (assuming no request for evidence). Travel should generally be avoided, but may be possible in some cases.
I-130 Interview Baltimore Local office (Spouse Overseas): Interview – went well- but problem. Married in april 2002 with US citizen for 5 years. Green card Aug, 2005(non conditional).Divorced 12th Jan, 2008. Interviewer “I have no doubt about your present marriage-any documents proving pervious marriage bonafide ?" what should i do? She asked me if I want to submit anymore docs for previous marriage and I said "No cause I already submitted all when I got my green card, you can get it from that file". Officer told me that she will request for my file and take a look at those documents and send me decision. PLEASE GIVE ME INPUT ON THIS.
Matthew’s answer: Requesting a Green card based on a sham marriage is a bar to any future green card visa. If you have a previously approved non-conditional green card based on the prior marriage, there would be no reason to file a new I-130 Petition. Are you sure you don't mean N-400 naturalization? You should definitely consult with an experienced immigration attorney to unravel the facts and legal issues in your case.
