The sponsoring US citizen must fill out I-864 no matter what. There is a question on the I-864 form that asks your current job status. If you are unemployed, answer "unemployed" for this question. On the I-864 form there is a place to add additional income and/or assets from joint sponsors...

Her father can be a joint sponsor, but not the sole sponsor (your spouse must always be a sponsor). A joint sponsor needs to live in the USA and be a US citizen or permanent resident (and of course satisfy the minimum income requirements for sponsorship).

As far as I know, the only ways to file I-751 Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence without your spouse are: Divorce waiver Extreme hardship waiver Battered spouse waiver Battered spouse does not apply to you, since you are not the battered spouse. Extreme hardship is almost...

I don't know, I only deal with immigration. You're asking about criminal defense, and I have no idea.

The M-477 document checklist says you should include 5 years of tax transcripts, mortgage or rent payments, and pay stubs. I'm not sure whether they would accept simply a statement.

I don't know firsthand, but a quick internet search seems to indicate: For green card holders, a crime is not deportable unless it involves immigration fraud, or is punishable by jail. The meaning of "class C misdemeanors" is that they are not punishable by jail time. So I think you're safe...

The form is wrong. Since you are applying on the 3-year basis, you should cross out "five years" and write in "three years" instead. That's what I did. I know, it's unbelievable that they haven't fixed this yet.

Wasn't too hard to find through Google: http://www.vaed.uscourts.gov/resources/naturalization/Alexandria%20Naturalization.html

They don't take your green card, so you can travel. If your application contains little international travel, then they won't care about an extra week. But if your application was borderline to begin with, and especially if you had a trip over 180 days or you are almost at the lower limit for...

That paragraph only applies to absences of one year or longer. It says so right in the paragraph. Also, as it says, you have to actually apply for naturalization (paying the fees) and get denied in order to take advantage of the benefit. So I'd say you have to wait the full three years. Note...

If the two of you were were together, and you (the husband) were employed outside the US and not physically in the US, then you would be unable to satisfy the requirement of 3 years of continuous residency inside the US. It is impossible for all three of the following to hold simultaneously...

You need 18 months of physical presence within the last three years of continuous residency to apply on the spousal basis. You easily satisfy the physical presence requirement, but the continuous residency part is difficult. The problem is that you were working outside the US for two years...

I just looked at the requirements for CRBAs in Mexico and I am shocked by the amount of documentation required. Ultrasound records? Western Union money transfer receipts? Proof the couple was together at time of conception? I have multiple kids with CRBAs from various countries and none of their...

For the purposes of sponsoring you to come to the US, his criminal record doesn't really matter, unless his crimes involve kidnapping of or sexual offenses against a child. He does have to satisfy all the other usual requirements of K1 sponsorship, such as proof of the required level of income...

A drivers license, state ID card, or unexpired foreign passport is valid identification for domestic air travel. There are only rare situations (e.g. departure from the 100-mile border zone with Mexico) where domestic air travel would result in immigration checks. For traveling outside the USA...

According to http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2007-04-06/html/07-1643.htm they keep them for 75 years.

Well, it's past your CRBA interview already, hope that went well. If not, your child can receive citizenship by obtaining an IR2 immigrant visa (green card) and moving to the US, but only if your child resides in the US together with you for some (unspecified) period of time prior to turning 18...

You mentioned school photos in your post. If you have school records from the USA, that would be acceptable. The important thing to realize is that your child's eligibility depends only on past events. Nothing you do can invalidate the child's claim. Therefore, there is no real cost to failure...

We sent tax transcripts along with the application, and brought bank statements and lease agreements to the interview.

If you have made three trips of over 10 months each within the last three years, then you would be unable to satisfy the physical presence requirement, which is separate from the continuous residency requirement. The physical presence requirement is absolute and cannot be waived just because you...
