Youth in lockup wants citizenship is this possible?

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. Assuming that the youth has a green card, it would depend on how he received his green card. If his parents are already U.S. citizens, he may be able to obtain derivative citizenship through his parents. Otherwise, he would have to wait until he is at least 18 years old to apply. His juvenile criminal history should not be a problem depending on the crimes he has been convicted of. I strongly suggest that he contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding his situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise him of his options.

Is there any possibility for us to get visa if she is not US citizen yet and I got married last year?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
It depends. If any of the following scenarios apply to your case, then you are likely ineligible to apply for adjustment of status or permanent residency while you remain in the United States unless you have been grandfathered under INA section 245(i) if: 1. Your last entry into the United States was without inspection (illegally) and you currently have no lawful status, or 2. You were inspected and admitted into the US during your last entry, but you have since failed to maintain lawful nonimmigrant status or have fallen out of status,or 3. You were inspected and admitted into the US and have successfully maintained lawful nonimmigrant status, but you have worked illegally in the US without prior employment authorization from USCIS.

Can my sister return to the US with a work permit?

Justin Wang
Answered by attorney Justin Wang (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Sheppard Mullin
It looks she overstayed her visa for more than one year and then left. She is subject to the 10 year bar(she cannot return to the US for 10 years) unless she receives a waiver.
