Hello, I was wondering if changing my marital status during the sponsoring process affects my parents getting their citizenship

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I will assume that you are sponsoring your parents for the green card, and not for US citizenship. In such case, your marrying during the petition process will generally have no effect on your parents’ eligibility to immigrate. That being said, you are still liable to provide I-864 affidavits of support for each parent under which you will have to meet government financial guidelines. Your wife would count as one of your dependents. If she makes money, you could add her income to yours to bolster the support for your parents. If she is not working, the amount of earnings and assets that you have would have to be enough to cover one more person, your wife.

Am going to get diported for a misdeminor class A domestic violence convction reckless assault?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
A conviction based on recklessness alone is not sufficient to sustain a charge of deportability for domestic violence as it does not fit the definition of a crime of violence. Although crimes involving domestic violence are ones for which there are no waivers, the crime must have a requisite mental state of intent, and recklessness in an assault case would generally not meet the standard.
