Well I'm not a lawyer so I can't give legal advice. However my common sense advice would be to wait a year--or if you can't wait a year at least wait as long as possible--to be absolutely sure this incident is behind you before filing I-485. The fact that similar things have happened in the...

I don't know much about whether these will show up in a background check or result in problems with a public trust or higher clearance, unfortunately. However, you and your husband--hopefully you will be able to work out your differences because it sounds like there have been a couple of...

nelsona is correct if you are Canadian. If you are Mexican then the first step of obtaining a TN-2 visa at a consulate is needed before appearing at a POE. You don't actually say whether you are Canadian or Mexican (TN status includes both TN-1 for Canadians and TN-2 for Mexicans) although...

With all due respect--since I gather you are indeed a qualified DUI attorney in Texas--it sounds like the original poster already HAS a conditional green card. The original poster needs to talk to both an experienced criminal defense attorney (perhaps yourself if in Texas) and an immigration...

With all due respect--since I gather you are indeed a qualified DUI attorney in Texas--I'm not sure how your response is germane to the situation. The DUI case itself was resolved nearly a decade ago. At this point what is under consideration is the immigration consequences of this past...

Seems like kind of an old thread but for a TN you are right as long as you remain in TN status: you need neither a labor certification nor a labor condition application. However if the TN worker (or their employer) wants to switch to a green card or H-1B status, they would need labor...

There appear to be some steps he can take to at least informally appeal: http://usa.immigrationvisaforms.com/travel/nexus-sentri-fast-global-entry-denials However if he was arrested and hasn't provided documentation as yet that the charges were dropped that is almost certainly what is holding...

I don't think there was any need for friends or family to arrive more than a few minutes earlier than the official start time at my naturalization ceremony. The early arrival time was for the soon to be citizens to register, to turn in their green cards one last time, to file Form N-445 (the...

No you shouldn't need a credentials evaluation for a U of T degree when applying for TN status--that is only for degrees outside of North America. You shouldn't need to show the Asian bachelor's degree (or a credentials evaluation thereof) at all assuming that the U of T master's is in a field...

I would be very surprised if they delete the fingerprints at any point--however the "Biometric Storage System" described in that link appears not to have been implemented in the form described there--a Google search on "Biometric Storage System" turns up only a few hits all from around that...

I would provide and bring along to the interview a copy of the final court disposition of the case (not the police report, because the police report only contains the officer's observations, not the actual charge(s) or conviction(s) ). I highly doubt that a single DUI from 16 years ago that has...

I doubt it is possible to remove the fingerprints from the system but the question is why the fingerprints were taken. If it was in connection with a routine border crossing--for example, Canadians entering the USA in TN and many other statuses need to provide fingerprints routinely--that...

I used to post here more regularly but just popping back in for a quick Fourth of July visit in my adopted country :) . I'm not sure whether my situation would have been considered "successful" or not. My GC process was about a decade ago--from 2003-2005--and I gather procedures have changed...

To clarify--you need to file a US tax return for EVERY year from 2007-2015 (not just for 2011) even though with credits/exclusions you might not actually owe taxes. The tax returns need to report your world income, so if in 2011 you reported only the 401k early withdrawal, and not your income...

I agree with Deepak75019 and lvnp that this is a concern. Another concern is whether you've continued to file US tax returns. Even though you would probably be considered--for immigration purposes--to have abandoned your US residency if you ever tried to enter the US again with your existing...

If you entered the US in H-1B status in October 2012 that is when the 6 years start counting from. You were out of the US for >1 years so the old time in H-1B doesn't count against you. I'm not sure why you'd think 1/2/13 would be an important date. Technically speaking any absences, however...

I've had to establish credit in the USA twice. The first time was in 1988 when I was on an F-1 student visa. I didn't lie and claim to have a GC/USC, but at the time there were some banks that would issue credit cards to students without asking their status in the country, and so that is how I...

First--let me say that--assuming your parents still have a viable marriage--I'm quite saddened to hear that this situation may leave your parents permanently separated. That situation quite simply isn't right--is there anything that can be done to reunite them? However I don't think there is...

Your current address. They need the current address in case they need to send you a bill or audit notice (or a refund, except that I believe you would have forfeited any potential refund by now due to the delay).

I think you (and perhaps your employer/housing situation) may need to be a bit more creative when considering possible options. There is nothing preventing you from spending most of the next few months out of the country on work, but keeping your residence legally in the USA and returning for...
