Will my petition get approved if my boyfriend was deported voluntarily and he arrived illegally to the US at the age of 15?

You cannot file the visa petition until you are married to the beneficiary. The petition can be approved despite his prior record, but that does not guarantee he will get an immigrant visa. You should retain an immigration attorney.

Which form should I accompany the I130 and I485 application?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
You will need several forms including an I-765, G-325A for both of you, I-864, perhaps I-864A and a co- sponsor if your income is not sufficient. Your wife's income can only count if her employment was work-authorized and you have been residing together for 6 months or longer. Her employment that was not work-authorized cannot count so likely you will need a co-sponsor.

Hello, I was wondering if changing my marital status during the sponsoring process affects my parents getting their citizenship

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I will assume that you are sponsoring your parents for the green card, and not for US citizenship. In such case, your marrying during the petition process will generally have no effect on your parents’ eligibility to immigrate. That being said, you are still liable to provide I-864 affidavits of support for each parent under which you will have to meet government financial guidelines. Your wife would count as one of your dependents. If she makes money, you could add her income to yours to bolster the support for your parents. If she is not working, the amount of earnings and assets that you have would have to be enough to cover one more person, your wife.
