It doesn't hurt to file I-130. But in most categories (other than spouse, parent, or unmarried under-21 child of US citizen) you need to be in status to do Adjustment of Status, so assuming you are not in status, a pending or approved I-130, even if a visa number has become available, would not...

How are you qualifying for TPS? Do you have dual nationality of Mexico/Canada and a nationality that qualifies for TPS?

Okay, then you should answer No. You mean during the injury period you weren't working? I am not sure about this.

You said "I was own one month to reach 26 years old". What does that mean? Do you mean you entered the US one month before you turned 26 (i.e. when you were 25)? You should list each place you worked at, regardless of whether you were injured or not.

If you answered No to item 10a, you do not have to answer items 10b or 10c. I believe you don't have to answer item 16 if you have never received a suspended sentence, have never received probation, and was never paroled. But it might be a good idea to write "N/A" next to the question just in...

Is the I-130 still pending? If so, it could make I-130 approval faster, since they are in less of a hurry to approve I-130 in categories that have a wait for visa numbers. If the I-130 is already approved, then upgrading it will start the Consular Processing process immediately, since there is...

What "sponsorship" or "responsibility" are you referring to? How does whether she stays in the US or not affect you in any way?

Is she the principal asylee or a derivative asylee? If she is a derivative asylee as the child of the principal asylee, she should make sure not to marry before she gets her green card, or else she will not be eligible for Adjustment of Status as a derivative asylee. In that case, you guys...

Well, you guys face a long road ahead, having to go through the I-130 process again, and then only after that is approved and a Consular Processing case is created can he apply for a waiver. And a waiver for this ban requires that you suffer "extreme hardship" if he can't be in the US, which is...

Yes, I believe you are authorized to work after you get your new I-94. But you are not authorized to work between when your I-94 expires and when you get your new I-94.

When you say you "do not owe any taxes", do you mean you paid taxes exceeding your tax liability? Or that you have zero tax liability for the year? If you had zero tax liability because you had a very low worldwide income for the year (below a certain threshold, the same as for people in the...

Well, the I-130 is dead since you divorced. Even if you re-marry, you cannot use that previous I-130 because the new marriage didn't exist at the time that I-130 was filed. You would have to file a new I-130 after the re-marriage (and you can make sure to select Consular Processing on the I-130...

I didn't mention it because I am not sure about whether you can re-enter on TN on a previous unfinished TN admission, if you've had a different status since. You probably can, but the other people on this forum know more about this.

Status only exists while you are in the US. Changing status applies to that stay only. Once you leave the US, that stay is done. The next time you seek entry into the US, you can seek entry into any status for which you are eligible. What status you had on your previous stay (and whether you...

Accruing 180 days / 1 year of unlawful presence and then leaving the US triggers a 10-year ban under INA 212(a)(9)(B). Any such ban would be over. Being removed from within the US for the first time would have triggered a 10-year ban under INA 212(a)(9)(A), but you don't trigger such a ban if...

When were you deported? What were you deported for? Were you removed on arrival or removed after staying in the US? If the latter, did you stay past the date on your I-94? and if so, for how long?

She was physically present in the US for 3 weeks. Whether she "resided" in the US is in dispute. You are saying yes; they are saying no. A lawyer can help make your case. Is she planning to go to the US anytime soon?

Every person always needs a separate I-485. There needs to be a separate I-864 for each I-130. You and your son are each the principal beneficiary on the respective I-130, and there are no derivative beneficiaries. So on each I-864, there is only one immigrant being sponsored. (Specifically, on...

Automatic citizenship under INA 320 does not require presence in the US for a particular length of time, but it does require that she be "residing" in the US at that time. Whether she was residing is a subjective determination that looks at many factors. The length and character of her stay does...

You are right that it's not relevant to your case. I don't know exactly how to deal with it on the online form.
