  • Do I qualify for permanent residency? I want to become a resident so I can enlist as soon as possible.

    Patrick’s Answer

    If you are asking about joining the military, it will depend on what type of visa you have. It sounds like you have a pending adjustment of status application. I need more facts to give you a better answer.

  • Hi there i overstayed,got married with an immigrant then he just had obtained his citizenship is it possible to petition me ?

    Patrick’s Answer

    Yes, your spouse can petition for you and you may be eligible to stay in the US to adjust status (get a green card). Your overstay could be forgiven. You should check with an immigration lawyer before you apply.

    Patrick’s Answer

    You cannot renew your TPS after your conditional green card was granted. There are options to get the 10 year card even if you are no longer married.

  • Can a H2B Non Immigrant Marry a US Citizen while both in the USA if the Sponsor Company supporting the H2B terminate the Visa

    Patrick’s Answer

    I think more details are necessary to fully answer your question, but an H-2B can adjust status based on marriage to a US citizen.

  • From I-485 A (supplement)

    Patrick’s Answer

    It does not seem that you need to file the I-485A in this case, but more details are needed. I agree that you should contact an immigration lawyer.

  • False claim citizenship a on mortgage loan as co borrower a mistake

    Patrick’s Answer

    This sounds like something that can be fixed with the mortgage company. I do not think it meets the requirements for a false claim to citizenship for immigration benefits, but you should correct the mistake.
