Can I petition for a I-130 visa while my spouse has a H-2A visa?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Unfortunately, holders of H-2A visas are not permitted to have dual intent, which means they cannot enter the US with a H-2A visa and at the same time be actively seeking permanent residency. Thus, the filing of an I-130 petition may prevent him from entering the US with his work visa. It's probably a better idea for him to apply for adjustment of status after he enters with the work visa. He should wait at least 90 days after entry before he concurrently files the I-485 application and I-130 petition. It is best to file the forms while he is still in valid status, but they can be filed even after he falls out of status.

When i was 18 i was charge with theft I'm 22 right know trying to apply for citizenship can immigration denied my application?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
In order for a person to be naturalized, he or she must show good moral character during the required period which in most cases is five years. Questions that would be asked in your case would be what occurred with the theft; whether you were convicted or pled guilty or whether the charge was dismissed; and the seriousness of the theft offense. If the theft was of the petty variety, and you pled guilty or were convicted, you might wait for the required period (if five years) to run before applying. If the theft was of a more serious nature, you may wish to consult an immigration attorney as to the ramifications of the theft offense to your permanent residence before making the application.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

How much money does it take to file for my mother?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
In order to meet the affidavit of support amount, you must make 125% of the poverty guidelines or else have a joint sponsor who does. These alter every year so you will want to google search for the 2011 chart.
