It wouldn't have to be an immigration lawyer in South Korea. It would just have to be someone who can conduct official business on her behalf, like getting her family registry, or whatever else she would do if she were there herself. Is there no way for Koreans abroad to hire someone in Korea to...

She wouldn't have to stay there 10 years. You said she came on a "student visa". If she came on F1, then she would have had "D/S" on her I-94, so she wouldn't have accrued any "unlawful presence" as long as she has not applied to USCIS for anything afterwards. No unlawful presence = no unlawful...

Hmm... will they give her a temporary passport if she doesn't intend to go back to Korea? If she can get a temporary passport, then she can use it for all the things she needs an ID for during the passport's validity period. You guys can get married with it, and apply for Adjustment of Status...

Well, she can't go back to South Korea anyway, since she doesn't have a passport, right? Can she hire an attorney in South Korea to represent her and get the necessary documents on her behalf? Is there any other document that the South Korean consulate can issue? Even if not a regular...

She doesn't have any other photo ID?

I-94 is for a particular stay, so once they leave the US, that I-94 ends. When they are admitted again, they will get a new I-94 for the new stay, and that I-94 will be limited by their passport expiration. They can file I-539 for Extension of Stay within the US (which does cost a few hundred...

They will only be admitted until the passport expiration date.

I don't think any of the forms should ask about travel history. If you choose to file I-765 for EAD, that is an additional $260. If you choose to file I-131 for Advance Parole, that is an additional $630. You also need to include the $1440 fee for I-485, as well as the passport page with...

You mean you petitioned your mother with I-130? Yes, family-based immigration cases need I-864. You would fill out I-864, with little to no individual income (I-864 Part 6 #7), you and your husband would complete I-864A so that your husband's income can be counted in your household income, so...

Or they can contact a CBP deferred inspection office to see if they can correct the I-94 to TN.

If she applies for it (and pay the fee)

As his child you should be able to get a copy of his birth record from the country of his birth (though it depends on the particular country's procedures). However, if you are unable to get it, I think you should be able to say you don't have access to his birth certificate, since that serves no...

You don't need to wait until their green cards expire. You can petition them to immigrate at any time. You can technically petition them to immigrate even if they haven't formally filed I-407 to relinquish their green card. With such a long absence, they will almost certainly be considered to...

I-797A means the approval of an Extension of Stay or Change of Status application. So you must have filed I-539 for Change of Status to B2 status. You did not apply for a "visa" -- that is something you can only apply for at a US consulate abroad. Your I-797A comes with a new I-94, in the...

I'm guessing they will probably have a re-parole process in 2025 for the Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans parole program, similar to the re-parole for Ukrainians, if the program hasn't been cancelled by whoever is elected President.

You are out of luck. Since you were born abroad out of wedlock to an American father and an alien mother, two things need to be met for you to get US citizenship by birth: 1. Your US citizen father needs to meet the physical presence requirement. Since you were born between 1952 and 1986 to...

Once you start working outside of what is allowed by F1, you will lose F1 status, which mean you will no longer be on CPT since that is part of F1.

That might be seen as misrepresenting her intentions if she claims to be just visiting when entering. Why can't she just enter on TD and file I-539 for TD Extension of Stay when the I-94 is close to expiring? Or just go to the border to leave and re-enter after she gets a new passport?
