I post another one regarding my mother's situation, this one is regarding my father.
I will be turning 21 and US Citizen, and want to help my dad get residency papers (green card). He has been here for 21 years, and lost his passport. He did come to the US legally with a visa in 1990. He's never done taxes except for one year (I believe 2009/2010). He really has no proof of income. He also divorced my mother in 1997, and got remarried, was in the process of getting residency through marriage and sent in all papers (copies of passport, I-94, arrest disposition, etc). Eventually the lady who he married disappeared and elft my dad, he never got his residency because they never finished the process and up to this date my dad is still married to this lady. It is recently that he lost his passport, which he came to the states with. Also my dad was arrested twice, once for suspended license and another for domestic violence, he was cleared and never sent to prison, just paid a fine.
Okay now my concerns are whether:
1. My dad should find a way to divorce this lady whom he has no contact with?
2. Since my dad submitted all his papers when he was going to get his residnecy through marriage, would they (immigration) still have that? meaning copies of his passport and other papers he submitted?
3. Him not having any proof of income?
Basically, is it possible for him to get his papers doing it now with me since I will be turning 21? Please suggest any advice, or stories. Thank you in advance.
