How an asylee with a green card can travel to his home country for a couple of days without the asylum status termination?

Answered by attorney David Troy Cox
Immigration lawyer at CoxEsq, PC
That would be true if you are pending asylum and have not yet become a permanent resident.  However, as a perment resident, it is less likely to create a direct problem, particularly if the trip is short and based on reasonable exigencies.  The indirect problem created by a permanent resident returning to a country they claimed would persecute them if they returned is whether the underlying asylum application was fraudulent.  This could be raised upon the resident's return, or later during a naturalization proceeding.  I just represented a client in naturalization proceedings who had returned as a permanent resident to his home country because his wife and children were still there.  The naturalization officer did not question the matter.  Nonetheless, I would recommend avoiding such travel if at all possible until becoming a US citizen.

Will age difference affects getting an immigration visa?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Age difference carries very little weight in determining whether a marriage is bona-fide and whether or not an immigrant visa should be issued. It's the character of the evidence showing that the marriage is a legitimate one and not one for immigration purposes only. Without seeing all of your evidence, it is impossible to tell you whether or not it will be sufficient to prove a bona-fide marriage I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

I have a american daughter, my son 7 yold in Brazil will be ilegible to come to usa with tourist visa and her birthday?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Under the current regional ban for Brazilians, you and your son should be eligible to enter the US after satisfying any COVID protocols of the two countries. The regional ban has an exception for spouses and children of permanent residents. The proper visa for your son would appear to be O-2 dependent since you intend for him to spend some time with you. You should contact the US Embassy or Consulate to determine the schedule of whether and how soon he can obtain a visa interview. If not possible because of Covid, you should prepare to explain the situation to an immigration inspector if he comes with you under the B-2 visa.
