I am being sue in my home country

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
To be considered a crime for U. S. immigration purposes, there has to be an equivalent to the crime under U. S. criminal laws. However, that being said, you could very well spend a lot of time and energy in showing that there is no equivalent if it becomes an issue with U.S.C.I.S. when you renew your green card or with CBP when you return to the U. S. after a trip abroad.

Adjustment of Status After an Overstay

Stephen Arnold Black
Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
Based on your facts, I don't think you would be inadmissible due to the overstay and thus not be required to file a waiver so I see no problem there. As far as applying to enter the USA on a tourist visa and then adjusting status, that is preconceived intent and is illegal. Why? because you are stating that your intent is just to visit but your real intent is to remain permanently. I suggest that you do everything honestly and go through the spousal visa route. When you guys filed the i130 did you put down that you are living outside the USA? Retain counsel here in Florida for representation.

How should I apply for a green card after having a name change?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
You can put your married name on the forms and then show your maiden name where it requests you to provide all other names used. Be prepared to submit documentation to support this but it should be fine. If you are out of the U.S. this may be more difficult as most consulates using the naming system of that country.
