M I allowed to enter the US on H4 visa even though the B1 visa has not been cancelled?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney David H Stoller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Stoller & Moreno, P.A.
The answer is that you can have more than one valid visa. Use the correct visa to apply for admission. If you come to visit and leave, use the B-1/B-2 because this is consistent with a tourist visa. If you are coming to stay as the H-4 dependant on an H-1, then use that one. Nothing wrong with having two valid visas, you just need to make sure that you ask to be admitted using the correct visa when you arrive. CBP officers may be a little confused because most folks only carry one valid visa, but having two is not that uncommon. Lots of crewman carry a C-1/D which permits them to land temporarily in the US and to travel to and from a ship and have a B-1/B-2 to remain in the US for extended visits. Just need to make sure that you use the correct visa to enter and the correct visa will necessarily depend on your purpose in coming to the US. Good luck.

What is the standard waiting time for I-130?

Answered by attorney Bruce A. Coane (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
If you're Canadian, why not just come here as a visitor and file the proper papers here, if you want to live here. No reason to be waiting in Canada if you're marital home is in the USA. The I-130 can typically take up to a year, right now.

Asking about claiming the us citizenship

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Under the situation that you describe, you are not eligible for US citizenship. The Child Citizenship Act requires not only being under the age of 18 when the parent naturalizes, but also your being a permanent resident and residing in the US under the physical and legal custody of the citizen parent. It would appear that your best solution of immigrating through your parents is to have your citizen parent file an I-130 relative petition for you. If you are single, the process will probably take approximately eight years and if you are married approximately 15 years.
