Significantly more information is needed in order to provide a full response, but for a non-citizen who is not a Permanent Resident to travel and re-enter the U.S. generally he/she must be in valid non-immigrant status with a visa that permits travel/re-entry or must have Advance Parole.

Aside from whether an outstanding arrest warrant could result in a foreign national's arrest at the time of an immigration interview, criminal arrest issues can stand in the way of immigration eligibility. Through the background checks performed in immigration cases the USCIS will be aware of arrests, outstanding warrants, etc. regardless of whether they are from another status (and, usually, regardless of whether they are from another nation). The ramification of criminal matters on immigration eligibilities is among the most complex immigration legal issues. There really is no substitute for your husband to consult with an immigration attorney, who, after seeing the relevant arrest and criminal disposition documents and after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain immigration-related goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.

Generally, a U.S. citizen aged 21 or older may sponsor her parents for immigration, and this is true regardless of whether she also has petitioned for a fiance or for a spouse. As part of the application process a petitioning U.S. citizen must provide documentary evidence that she has sufficient income to meet the requirements contemplated in the Affidavit of Support for the applicable family size. Family size in that context includes all persons who are being sponsored for immigration benefits. If the U.S. citizen does not have sufficient documentable income, it may be necessary for her to have a joint sponsor for the process. Generally any U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident who has sufficient documentable income and who is willing to assume the obligations contemplated in the Affidavit of Support may qualify as a joint sponsor. Of course, there are many other details that determine eligibility for immigration benefits. It would be wise for you, your fiance and your parents to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.
