Can I still apply for asylum after five years?

Answered by attorney Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Immigration lawyer at Oltarsh & Associates, P.C.
Please explain to me how after being here 5 years you still have a good status? If you can prove a credible fear of persecution for returning to your country. You could succeed in obtaining withholding of deportation or legal status through the convention against torture.

Can I apply for I485 status adjustment when they get here and while they are here or do they have to go back and apply through the US Consular Service

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
On the one hand, your parents could adjust status in the U.S. after entering on a VWP: the general prohibition of such adjustment has an exception for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. On the other hand, it is basically dishonest to enter the U.S. under a declaration that you have no intention of staying while knowing this declaration to be false. Aside from the issue of personal integrity and respect for the country where you live, there is the risk of retribution: governments, like elephants, forgive little and forget nothing. If the Immigration feels that your parents' VWP entry constituted a material misrepresentation, the agency has numerous means to express its feelings. The costs of appealing from an adverse determination can far exceed the costs of a round-trip airfare. Lastly, there is a purely practical consideration: the immigration inspector at the airport has the authority to deny your parents entry if they do not prove to him/her that they have no immigrant intent - and it is going to be difficult with immigrant petitions in their names in the system. Of course, there is a possibility that your parents would breeze through the immigration at the airport - and through the adjustment process. As always, much will depend on the persons who will decide you parents' case. There is no statistic on which a reliable risk assessment can be made. I just pointed out the pitfalls; the decision is yours.

How can I get citizenship for my wife?

Answered by attorney Isaul Verdin (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Verdin Law
You can either petition for her as a fiancee. This process takes about 6 to 9 months. Or, you can go over to Morroco and get married, and subsequently file for her residency. That process takes about one year, but she'll enter as a permanent resident. Consult with an immigration lawyer for the details. Best of luck.
