Can I travel during my Green Card being in process by using my H1-B and under which status can I bring my wife to the US?

Answered by attorney Harun Kazmi
Immigration lawyer at Kazmi & Sakata
If you have a valid H1b visa, you can travel on this visa. If your green card/I-485 is pending, you can have your wife process her H4 dependent visa after you marry. She will apply directly at the US Embassy.

Lawyer requested a police certificate from El Salvador for my husbands record. Can my lawyer get this for us? My husband can’t go to El Salvador.

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Generally speaking, attorneys do not obtain documents for their clients – that is usually the responsibility of the client. I do not know your arrangement with your attorney, and if that service is included, but if not and you wish him or her to assist on that, you might make an arrangement to pay for assistance with the police certificate. Just so that you are aware, a police certificate from El Salvador can be obtained without your husband going to El Salvador. The Foreign Affairs Manual directs your husband how to obtain a police certificate if outside the country: If the applicant is outside El Salvador applicant has two options: a - Police certificate can be requested by a Salvadoran Consulate, the applicant must provide Original Documento Unico de Identidad or passport and 2 passport size photographs. This process usually takes between 3 to 4 months for the applicant to receive the certificate in the United States. The applicant must be 18 years or older to receive a police certificate.  b - A power of attorney issue by a Salvadoran consulate or a Salvadoran notary will be needed, the applicant will have to submit a request to the closest Salvadoran consulate to take their fingerprints. Applicant will send to El Salvador via physical correspondence: the power of attorney, fingerprints taken at Salvadoran consulate and 2 passport size photographs. The applicant must be 18 years or older to receive a police certificate Good luck!

H1b to h4 visa RFE

Answered by attorney Harun Kazmi
Immigration lawyer at Kazmi & Sakata
Hi. You should be fine. They would not consider that a time of out of status.  I do not understand your RFE question. Did you get an RFE for your last paycheck? If so, you should be ok. If not, you can still leave the US and get the H4 at the Consulate.
