Charged with indecent exposure and the case is not resolved yet

Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
As the crime with which you are being charged is a misdemeanor in which the maximum jail time is one year, and this is not the type of offense which can be construed to be an aggravated felony if you are sentenced to one year, you are not deportable if convicted.

Approval of immigrant visa and returning home

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Normally an individual who is still maintaining a nonimmigrant status is able to adjust status to permanent residence in the US without leaving. The corollary applies for consular processing that a person maintaining status in the US is generally able to obtain an immigrant visa upon interview. A concern may be how quickly the person was petitioned after entering the US as a rapid filing of an I-130 petition after entry may be an indication of misrepresentation of intent when applying for the visa or when entering the country. In the absence of other aggravating factors, a consular interview for such a person is usually successful. You mentioned that your sister was married two years ago and her husband as already filed papers for her. Kindly note that the marriage would have dropped her immigrant visa category from F-1 unmarried adult daughter to F-3 married adult daughter, and that the priority date that is being processed for final immigration in that category is 1/22/05 for the month of November 2016. As that category has an 11+ year backlog, your sister could be stuck in Jamaica unless her priority date is before 1/22/05. In that case, she may wish to wait for immigration through her husband.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.
