Can I apply for multiple green cards for different people simultaneously?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Generally, an adult U.S. citizen may apply for both his parents simultaneously (through adjustment of status if they are located in the U.S., through consular processing if they are located abroad) in the "Immediate Relative" visa category for which visas are currently available. That same citizen also may apply for his sister, but in the Family-Based Fourth Preference (FB4) visa category, for which there is a many-year backlog for visas. The FB4 application now would be only an Application for Relative Alien Form I-130, and adjustment of status or consular processing for the sister will not be possible until that visa category becomes "current." It is impossible to determine how long the FB4 backlog will last, since a year's worth of backlog is not necessarily cleared each 12-month period, so for planning purposes it may be appropriate to expect a visa to become currently available in the FB4 category 10 - 15 years after a Form I-130 application is filed. As you can see, this rarely is a satisfactory immigration strategy and often it is helpful to explore other potential eligibilities for a sibling of a U.S. citizen. As a part-time worker/full-time student, If your earnings are insufficient to meet the requirements associated with the required Affidavit of Support that must be filed for each parent, then it will be necessary to have a "joint sponsor" with sufficient current income. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney to represent you and your family in assessing eligibilities, options and strategies, and in assuring that applications are properly prepared and fully documented.

Will my citizenship application be affected if I was arrested for credit card fraud?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
You have to be a person of good moral character for at least 5 years, 3 years if you are applying on the basis of a marriage to a US citizen, immediately before filing for naturalization. That means you cannot have any convictions for crimes of moral turpitude or periods of probation during that time. If you were found guilty or plead guilty, even if you were given deferred adjudication and the charges were later dismissed, USCIS will most likely deny the application. Depending on the specifics of your case, there is a risk that your case may be referred to ICE for removal proceedings.
