Can I travel to Mexico while on unsupervised probation?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
It will depend on what you are probation for. If you are on probation for crime involving moral turpitude, you may be declared inadmissible when you return to the U.S. Even a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude could make you inadmissible. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation prior to taking any trips outside of the U.S. and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

How can I get H1b visa?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Mary Lyn Tanawan Sanga (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Mary Lyn T. Sanga A Professional Corporation
Changing status from visitor visa to H-1B requires that you have valid status as of the time of filing and as of the requested start date. The earliest date you can start working for fiscal year 2014 is October 1, 2013 and the earliest the H-1B petition can be filed is 6 months from that date or April 1, 2013. If you are coming here as a visitor, the longest authorized stay you are likely to get is 6 months. This means that if you will enter in February 2013, you may not have a valid status by October 1, 2013. If your I-94 will expire before October 1, 2013 or any requested start date after that, then you will not be eligible to request for change of status to H-1B. However, the petition may be filed with a request for consular processing so you may apply for your visa at a U.S. consulate abroad. -

I was permanant residence with a grean card holder..

Answered by attorney Sina Mohajer-Jasbi
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Sina Mohajer
Since the order was made in 2013, you have passed the time limitation to file an appeal. However, you may still be able to file a motion to reopen your case if you can demonstrate that immigration failed to give you notice of your deportation hearing.  Once your case is reopened, you may at that time provide any defenses you may have in order to not be deported.  If you would like to discuss your case in more detail, I would be more than happy to offer a free consultation.
