Can my children get derivative citizenship from me without entering US?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Congratulations upon having become a naturalized citizen! You now may be able to sponsor your wife and children, who are overseas, for immigration benefits through "consular processing." You also may petition for your parents. Each applicant will need to be the subject of his/her own application, and the goal will be to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). When a child becomes a Permanent Resident, and while still under age 18 his/her parent is a U.S. citizen, the child automatically may become a U.S. citizen without having to go through the naturalization application process (note, however, that it can be wise for the child to apply for a Certificate of Citizenship, instead). Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

Do we need an attorney or can we file for green card without one?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
There is no law or regulation requiring an applicant to be represented by an attorney in the immigration application process. Then, again, there is no law requiring a patient to have a medical doctor in order to remove his appendix. Your question does not provide sufficient details to understand all of the issues that led a lawyer to conclude that the father of your children "has a good chance" with an immigration-related application. Nonetheless, it sounds like his situation is far from ordinary, and may be particularly complex and challenging. An application without legal eligibility, or an inadequately prepared or insufficiently documented application can result in substantial delays or even more harsh consequences. The decision of the father of your children about working with an immigration lawyer will depend upon how important it may be for him to succeed with an immigration application.

Can I get green card from my husband if he has warrant of arrest in other state?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Aside from whether an outstanding arrest warrant could result in a foreign national's arrest at the time of an immigration interview, criminal arrest issues can stand in the way of immigration eligibility. Through the background checks performed in immigration cases the USCIS will be aware of arrests, outstanding warrants, etc. regardless of whether they are from another status (and, usually, regardless of whether they are from another nation). The ramification of criminal matters on immigration eligibilities is among the most complex immigration legal issues. There really is no substitute for your husband to consult with an immigration attorney, who, after seeing the relevant arrest and criminal disposition documents and after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain immigration-related goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.
