Will the fact that I am working affect my ability to gain US citizenship?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
If your EAD only authorizes you to work on campus you cannot work off campus. If you do it is a violation of you current immigration status you could be deported from the U.S. Also, it could make you ineligible to receive a Green Card (you have to have a Green Card for 5 years before applying for US Citizenship) through your father. Also, falsely claiming you are authorized to work or that you are a U.S. Citizen can also prevent you from receiving a Green Card. In fact a false claim of U.S. Citizen permanently bars you from ever getting a Green Card.

How can I help my fiancé who was deported because she entered illegally come back to the US?

Answered by attorney David H Stoller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Stoller & Moreno, P.A.
Help is out there, just make sure that you find the right attorney to provide that assistance. When you mention that your fiance was deported it is very important to know why, if she were deported because she had problems with her immigration status in the US, that is one thing. Quite different if she was deported because she had a criminal record. So consulting with an attorney who can understand the underlying deportation case and figure out if there is a way around it is of utmost importance. There are a lot of us out there that call ourselves immigration attorneys. A lot of us say that because we employ a paralegal who has handled applications before but we do not have any experience handling real problems and finding resolutions to such problems. Make sure that you find someone who speaks up front and directly to you. Know what the problems are that must be addressed and understand the potential for complications BEFORE giving an attorney anything more than a consultation fee. Don't get screwed by someone who pretends to say all the right thing but hasn't a clue on how to really fix the problems that your fiance has. Good luck.
