Can I apply for a citizenship if I have a DUI conviction?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Depending on where your DUI took place, how many DUIs you have (I am assuming that you had two) and the date of your last conviction, the answer is usually yes. However, before you apply, you must be off of probation and not have any criminal convictions for at least 5 years preceding the date of application. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case and advise you of your options.

Can I sponsor my brother in law who already has his green card application in process?

Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
A brother in law cannot be sponsored for a family-based visa. For an employment-based visa, A brother-in-law will be required to have significant work credentials, but the job cannot usually be tailored to fit his skills. Congress chose to restrict visas to historically low levels a little more than two decades ago. The results of severe visa restriction have impacted the economy in that unlawful immigration took hold. Rules geared to disqualify those who violate civil immigration laws have hurt conceptions of liberty. It has effectively created an underclass fearful of deportation and willing to skip a paycheck or three to remain. If you are disappointed with Congress, then become informed. Repeatedly complain to as many in Congress and the Senate for a legalization or registry to grant permanent resident status to non-criminal undocumented foreigners. Otherwise, we will have to be content with the situation and injustice. Many have waited over two decades due to low family immigration quotas. This means that their U. S. siblings filed the form I-130 for them in 1990. If the sibling dies before the visa quota can release a. visa, the money paid for the petition is lost and the application terminates. The Alienage clause used to rid America of British spies and sympathizers is now used to minimize immigration. However, Congress is given the exclusive right to control immigration. The Courts are too often limited to interpreting what Congress passed, even if it is oppressive in practice. Good luck.
