Oak Point, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Yes Diana. His murder conviction or his probation status should not disqualify him from sponsoring you, as long as the crime didn't involve violence and/or sexual exploitation of a minor child under the Adam Walsh Act. Did you enter the country legally? Work with an attorney. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee for representation from start to finish, even lower that the government filing fees. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you. Good luck. 

You must file five separate I-130 petitions at a cost of $420 per petition. In addition, if documentation is missing or the sibling is disqualified, it can take years, even decades to find out at the U. S. Embassy during consular processing. Once the sibling visa petition is approved, which may take a few years, the approved visa petition is transferred to the National Visa Petition, where it will remain until the Visa priority date is current. This can take ten, even over twenty years for some nations like the Philippines. The fourth preference visa petition category has fewer visas issued on an annual basis. This can create quite a bit of frustration among family members who think that it will take a matter of months, or perhaps five years, to immigrate. If you have any further questions or concerns, then I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney, who will take the time to ask enough questions and explain the situation so that you best understand.

If you do not plan to petition him for green card, there is no point to file fiance visa. Just apply for B-2 visa if he can convince the US consulate that his visit is short and he does not intend to live here permanently. He can come here to marry you. If you plan to live in the US with him, then you can file fiance visa. He can come to the US on fiance visa to marry you.
