Pine Castle, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

There is no reason why you can't apply under both categories. The application by your sister is likely to be much slower than the employment-based; but it depends on which employment category you qualify for. There is also the issue of whether your current J-1 subjects you to the two-year foreign residency requirement (or a waiver of this requirement) before you can become a permanent resident or change to certain other nonimmigrant statuses. We would be happy to consult with you on the specifics of your case. I do charge for consultations $350 per hour - but whatever you pay for the consultation would then be a credit toward the fees for your case.

At this time right now, most individuals would not attempt to file an I-129F K-3 petition for an alien spouse as that is usually only filed where the expected time for adjudication of the I-130 petition will be very long. U.S.C.I.S. is currently transferring many I-130 petitions in order to achieve a faster adjudication time. You say that she has a pending case in New Jersey for deportation. Leaving the US usually results in execution of a deportation order. You should check the immigration court line to see if she has already been ordered deported. If so, she would need an I -212 application approved for advance permission to return to the US as she would be barred for 10 years otherwise. In conjunction with the I-212, she would be barred for 10 years also if she stayed in the US illegally for one year. For that, she would require a waiver of excludability grounds under form I-601 provided she can show that a US citizen or permanent resident spouse or parent would suffer extreme hardship unless she was allowed the waiver.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.
