How does my arrest record affect the I-485 application?

Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
I have considerable experience dealing with cases similar to yours and can advise you that it will be a long and difficult effort to succeed. You will need legal help, either through an agency like Catholic Charities or other provider of legal help or a private attorney with experience in both criminal and immigration cases. If you try without help, it will be extremely risky.

STEM OPT Options

Dawn Chere Sequeira
Answered by attorney Dawn Chere Sequeira (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Legacy Immigration, LLC
Hello, for our clients who do not have OPT stem extension, we have sometimes changed their status to an H3 traineeship visa.  These are difficult to prove, but we have had success. It will give you a maximum of 18 months.  You can also look around for other companies to sponsor you.  We are filing employment-based cases for those with only a bachelor's degree (in fact we just to an i140 approval for an EB3 case yesterday, without an RFE).  If you would like to get a legal fee estimate, please send an email to me at dawn@legacyimmigrationattorney.com.

I-864 (joint sponsor) income requirement

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
U.S.C.I.S. officers in our experience are not uniform in asking for a number of years that a joint sponsor must make an amount that passes the poverty guidelines for support purposes. Some will ask for one year, others may ask for more. Just going with a joint sponsor's current income and no tax returns meeting the guidelines would not be suggested. You may be able to use your own assets to add to your joint sponsor's affidavit of support, and such would be counted at 1/5 value to actual income. Please note that some officers may wish to see that the amount that you are listing of your own assets to assist with the joint sponsor's affidavit of support has been in your account for some time.
