Ocoee, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

As a tourist, you have no authority to be employed in this country. If Immigration knows that you are working, you would be removable from the country. Additionally any extension or change of status requests would be denied. Unauthorized employment if known could also give you a problem when applying for another visa overseas or when you return from abroad and are inspected by US Customs and Border Protection officials.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

I have considerable experience dealing with cases similar to yours and can advise you that it will be a long and difficult effort to succeed. You will need legal help, either through an agency like Catholic Charities or other provider of legal help or a private attorney with experience in both criminal and immigration cases. If you try without help, it will be extremely risky.

If u overstayed your visa u may be subject to the ten year bar. If your child wants to petition u for a green card that is possible, but u would have to file a waiver of inadmissibility to overcome the immigration bar. You should hire counsel to review your case and plot out the best strategy for a successful application.
