What do I need to do if ever my wife does not appear at the interview?

Answered by attorney Bruce A. Coane (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
Generally, they will not approve your case unless your wife comes to the interview. If the issues escalate to violence or severe emotional battery, then you might consider doing a VAWA case which does not require any cooperation from your wife.

I am a U.S Citizen, and my boyfriend lives in Mexico. Is there a way he can come to the U.S besides getting a Visa?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If your boyfriend wishes to do so, he can apply for a visitors visa to come to the US to visit for short periods of time. That can be done immediately.  The issuance of it is in the discretion of an American consular officer. If you are contemplating that he will stay in the US for longer than short periods of visit, you would have to wait until he goes through the process of applying for a student visa, which is again issued in the discretion of a consular officer. If you are thinking marriage, you might apply for him under either K-1 fiancé petition or, if you marry him in Mexico, directly for his residence status.  Those are longer processes.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (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.

Is it required to us to have a joint bank account and to file a tax jointly so that my permanent green card application will not be affected?

Required? No, but it does help. You are going to need to prove that your marriage is bona-fide and not just for immigration purposes. These documents (Joint Tax Returns and Joint Bank Accounts) are normally provided to prove the legitimacy of your marriage. There are many other documents which can be used, such as auto registrations, rental agreements, mortgages, insurance, just to name a few. I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.
