We have a decent income but still struggling. And because of his income that is way family members come to us for help. Besides the obligations of becoming a sponsor, Is there any problem for him to help them and such short period of time because this will be his third and last. We have asked other people and they said there is no problem but we want to know from experienced attorneys. As much as we want to help them we don't want to be on any problem?
Sophie’s answer: You can view the poverty guidelines at the link provided below. As long as you meet them for your family size (include the immigrant), then you are eligible. If you are eligible, then it is your personal decision about whether to proceed.

Sophie’s answer: You should consult an immigration law attorney and provide a docket report of your criminal proceedings. This will allow the attorney to determine (a) whether you can be deported and (b) whether/when you can become a citizen.
Green card holder and a European Union citizen want to live together in the US legally:
I am in love with a guy who is a green card holder and going to be able to apply for the US citizenship in 1 year.
I am a citizen in the European Union and spent 3 month in the US with the WAVER program.
But we want to be together ASAP and as long as we can (have a life together in the US). /I do not want (do not have the money) to travel back and forth in every 3 month. And the risk to get in the country is higher and higher when I want to go back more often. We were thinking of the student visa, but we can't afford it. Does anybody know anything about the visa for baby sitters? Could I get married with that in the future?/
We want to get married when he will be US citizen.
I would like to have a visa or something, with I can get married in the future and live together. Please help!
Sophie’s answer: You shouldn't overstay the Visa Waiver Program or else you are immediately deportable without having the right to see an immigration judge. You should return to the EU before the end of the 90 days, or else you will lose the ability to participate in the program. From your home country, you can apply for a visa to come back to the US. If you get a tourist visa, you'd be eligible for 6 month stays with possible extensions, but since you intend to marry your boyfriend, you would not be able adjust your status in the US to get a green card later on. You would have to leave again for the interview at the US consulate in your home country. You should discuss this with an attorney to understand the details.
