How can I file a petition for my fiance?

Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
The processing time is about the same for a K-1 fianc visa and the K-3 spouse visa. If you are in the Philippines already and can get married there. It will probably be faster to file for the K-3. Get married, return to the US, file the I-130, use the I-797 receipt notice to file the I-129F for the K-3, then after approval he applies for the visa at his home consulate.

What happens to adjustment of conditional status after divorce?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
The burden is much higher on you to self-petition and show not only there was a divorce but that the original marriage was entered into in good faith and not fraudulent. This self-petition is to keep your green card after a divorce but before the ten year card is issued. These are very approvable but you need to pull together everything you can think of to show you actually lived together - joint assets, debts, credit cards, bank accounts, water bill, Costco card, lease or mortgage documents, joint health insurance, car insurance, joint taxes, pictures of family events for trips, events with the two of you in them, etc. I would strongly recommend having an attorney represent you in this self-petition process. We do charge for consultations and you can schedule one by calling my office below to select a convenient time and date. $350 per hour is the consultation fee; but whatever you pay for the consultation would then be a credit toward the fees for your case if you retain us to do work beyond the consultation.

What will I do to reinstate my citizenship and be able to get back the benefits?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
You should check to see if you are a US citizen by law first. Under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, which became effective on February 27, 2001, you may have already became a US citizen if you met the following requirements: (1) you had at least one parent who was a US citizen; (2) you were under the age of 18 years old; (3) you were residing permanently in the US in the legal and physical custody of your US citizen parent; and (4) you were a lawful permanent resident. If you have documents to prove all the requirements, you can then apply for a US passport at the US consulate which will allow you to legally travel back to the US as a citizen.
