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

default-avatar
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.

How do I change my status from single to married so my husband can change his spouse visa?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
It is not clear from your question, but it appears that you are seeking immigration benefits for your husband as a result of his marriage to you. Assuming that you are a U.S. citizen, generally to accomplish this it is necessary to file a petition for relative alien and an application for adjustment of status (along with several other forms and documentary evidence). It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney to learn all of the relevant details and circumstances relating to you and your husband, in order to advise about eligibilities, options and strategies. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

My friend is a permeant resident but his wife is here illegally.

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Where it is fairly certain that an individual will become a US citizen, it is usually better to apply for a spouse after having obtained US citizenship. If the wife entered legally and has overstayed her visa status, your friend's becoming a citizen would allow his wife to adjust status in the US. If she entered illegally but has a clean record, e.g. – no crimes or fraud, she could possibly take advantage of the Obama administration's I-601A program under which she could apply for a waiver of the bar for staying in the US illegally prior to deciding whether to attend a consular interview outside the US for an immigrant visa. In contrast, if your friend was still a permanent resident, she would not be able to take advantage of the I-601A program, and if she wished to go overseas for an immigrant visa appointment when her priority date became current under the category for spouses of permanent residents, she would have to be first refused by the American consulate and then allowed to file for a waiver of the illegal stay bar during which she would have to remain outside the US while it was being adjudicated.
