Do I have to get out from United States or will I be able to fix while I’m here in the United States?

David H Nachman
Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
As a DACA Beneficiary you may be able to obtain Advance Parole and travel. When you travel out of the U.S. and then return should be paroled into the US. This is the Arabelly-Yarabelly (case) holding. Once you are admitted as a "Parolee" then you may be able to marry a U.S. Citizen and file for Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Residence. You will want to discuss the nuances of such a strategy with a qualified immigration law professional.

Hi , My daughter's father works for royal carribean internation as engineer with a C1D visa . He also has a B1/B2 visa . He is signing off his ship

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
A C1/D visa presents the situation where the individual is in transit in the US (C-1) to join the ship (D). That does not appear to be your daughter's father's intent when he enters the US. As he has a B-1/B-2 visa, he can explain his situation to the immigration inspector at the airport when he arrives. I believe that he would be admissible under the B1/B2 visa for the purpose that you described.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.

Will it hurt the chances of my stepson gaining an immigrant visa?

Answered by attorney David H Stoller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Stoller & Moreno, P.A.
This is a common occurrence and it is not all that problematic. You will be required to file an I-130 for your husband and your step son. In the category of spouses, unmarried children (under 21) and parents of US citizens, there are no derivative benefits available with these petitions. Meaning that your step son will not derive any benefit from the visa petition you file on behalf of your spouse. I would suggest that you file the I-130 for your step son and the adjustment of status package for your spouse together - but keep in mind that they do not go to the same filing location. Each application package will be processed and it is very likely that your spouse's applications will be completed prior to your step-son's Form I-130 being sent for processing at the US Consulate overseas. Often, we do see that I-130's filed for children overseas will not be processed until the biological parent's applications are completed in the US so this could delay the process a bit. But my advice would be to file both.
