Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
As a U.S. citizen over the age of 21, you can file a petition for her. If she overstayed her visa or came here illegally, she will need a waiver to overcome her illegal presence in the U.S. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your mother's situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is properly presented so as not to delay the process.

Is it necessary to employ an appellate attorney or an immigration attorney handling the case will suffice when appealing a deportation decision?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
It depends on the stage of the appellate process, and on the attorney. Most immigration attorneys will handle a case through an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals from an Immigration Judge's order of removal. If your appeal was dismissed by the Board, the decision can be appealed to a federal Court of Appeals. Not every immigration attorney practices before these courts; and there are attorneys who concentrate their practice on immigration appeals to federal Courts of Appeals. If your first appeal was denied by the Board of Immigration Appeals, you can get a referral to one of such attorneys through the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Can I get my boyfriend his green card if we get married outside of the US?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
Getting married in Mexico is fine and would be recognized for immigration purposes; alternatively you can petition for him to come as a fianc and file documents for his permanent residency in the U.S. We would need to evaluate the complete immigration and criminal history of your boyfriend to determine whether there will be any problems getting him back? Was he here in status? Did he enter illegally? Did he overstay his visa? Has he ever returned to the U.S. after accumulating out of status time and then leaving? Details of his DUI are needed. Does he have any other arrests or convictions? He will need to show that he is not dependent on alcohol. When did the DUI occur? I would suggest a consultation to go over all of these questions with him on the phone and with you either on the phone or in person. This can be arranged by calling my office and scheduling and arranging payment.
