Can I apply for a student visa with a pending I-130?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I assume by the way your question is phrased that you are contemplating a change of status to F-1 student by USCIS. The I-539 form to change or extend status asks whether an immigrant petition has ever been filed for you. A positive answer brings the possibility that an immigration officer may doubt your nonimmigrant intent, which is required to be established in such cases. I do note that in the past, we have had some such applications approved. Having had an immigrant petition filed on someone’s behalf is not as damaging as having applied for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status to permanent residence. Whether the petition is approved or pending does not change the answer to the question of the immigrant petition on the form.

Did I have chance to fill out the I-130 for my mother if her I-94 expire 2 mos ago without any problems?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If your mother is 70 years old and still in the United States, you would be best off applying for her adjustment of status here in the States if that is the wish of both of you. For that, you would not only be filing the I-130 petition, but also the I-485 adjustment of status along with all the other related forms and documents and filing fee. The fact that she qualifies as the immediate relative of a U. S. citizen exempts her from the requirement of maintaining status in order to file for adjustment of status to permanent residence.  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 do I marry an illegal immigrant?

David H Nachman
Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
Just go to City Hall and marry. After you do so you will want to look into the filing of an I-130 and Provisional Waiver You will want to call City Hall before you go to see what documents they require you to show. In general, Justices of the Peace can certainly perform weddings even if one of the parties is out of status.
