Which form should I accompany the I130 and I485 application?

Lisa E. Battan
Answered by attorney Lisa E. Battan
Immigration lawyer at Battan Alpert Hutchings LLP
Yes, you must file the form I-864, even if your income is insufficient. If your wife's income was not obtained legally, then her income cannot be used to support the affidavit of support. You may need a joint sponsor if your income is insufficient. Of course you should consult with an immigration attorney to understand the permanent residence filing process and make sure that you are proceeding in the correct manner.

Should a green card holder leave the US to visit family?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The Trump administration has indicated a closer vetting of individuals coming to the United States. That being said, a green card holder without acts of inadmissibility or deportability and whose social media posts and background are not a concern to this administration should be able to travel to visit relatives for two weeks in China.

When I apply for naturalization, will immigration officials contact my employer?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
U.S.C.I.S. should not contact your employer when you apply for naturalization. The process does not involve a determination of financial support or ability to make a living. You are asked, however, to bring in your recent tax returns which allows an officer to look into whether you have been paying taxes and if not, ask the question why not; see whether your taxes indicate that you have been staying in the States most of the time; where you have been residing; in the case of marriage green cards, whether you are still living together and filing joint taxes with your spouse, etc. In our experience, we have never encountered a situation in which the immigration officer contacted the applicant's employer in a naturalization setting.
