Amarillo, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

The convictions you mentioned do not sound like the very serious offenses that can legally bar eligibility for naturalization which is a review of the court documents, identifying the specific statutes and specifying the exact terms of the sentences would confirm this. Nonetheless, the USCIS's Atlanta Field Office has been harsh in assessing whether some offenses, by themselves or as a group, show a "lack of good moral character" that will allow it to deny a naturalization petition. This is true even if no single offense would legally bar naturalization. Last year, two naturalization petitioners hired our firm after the naturalization petitions they filed without an attorney were denied. Following naturalization interviews/examinations, the USCIS focused on multiple minor traffic offenses, none of which included even a single DWI, in denying the petitions for "lack of good moral character."

If the application was prepared by an experienced immigration lawyer it should process in about 2-3 months at which point you would recieve your entry visa good for 90-days only. You would need to marry in that period ad then have your, then husband, file for your green card with the help of an immigration lawyer. Call one of the immigration lawyers here to discuss your case and see if they would be willing to take the case through the Green Card process for you.

Whether or not your husband is eligible for an F1 Visa is entirely dependent on his applying and being accepted to a school, college or university and his previous record (amongst other considerations). Contact an immigration attorney should you have further questions.
