Can my son who is a minor attend school while awaiting i-130 approval

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I will assume for purposes of the question that you and your son are both in the US at this time and that you are sponsoring him for permanent residence. Under that circumstance, your son would have to be in legal immigration status until the time that you file for his I-485 adjustment of status application since you are a permanent resident and not a US citizen. If he is in the country as a visitor, it is a violation of visitor status to attend schooling. The filing of an I-130 petition alone does not insulate you from a potential violation. Once you file for his I-485, the law in essence freezes his status from then on even if he begins to attend schooling. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee & Arthur Lee, Esqs.’ (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

Can an employer sponsor me for work authorization or adjustment of status?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Asking about employer sponsorship is premature, since the first issue to be addressed is the consequence of your years of unlawful presence in the U.S. When a person is in the U.S. without valid immigration status, in order to apply to adjust status (to apply to become a Lawful Permanent Resident or get a "Green Card"), or even to apply to change status (to apply to get a different non-immigrant status), that person must go outside of the country to "consular process." Under current immigration laws, someone who has been unlawfully present in the U.S. for more than a year, however, will be subject to a very harsh 10-year bar to re-entering the U.S. In relatively rare circumstances, one may apply for a waiver of the 10-year bar. To succeed, generally one must establish exceptional hardship to a U.S. citizen spouse or parent.

What happens if someone stays outside of the US after their alien card expires?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
Generally, if an LPR remains outside the U.S. for more than 1 years they are considered to have abandoned their LPR status unless they obtained a Re-entry Permit before leaving or they can prove that unforeseen events prevented them from returning. If their Green Card is expired, then they will have to obtain a SB-1 visa from the U.S. Consulate in their home country. However, if the consulate believes that they abandoned their Green Card, they will not issue the visa. This is the type of matter that you should schedule an consultation with an immigrant attorney to discuss since the issue of abandonment involves many factors.
