How do I convert a J1 visa into an I-130?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
If you entered the country legally and are not subject to the 2-year residency requirement, you can simultaneously apply for adjustment of status along with submitting your wife's I-130 petition after you are married.

Can my brother be a joint sponsor if my spouse doesn’t meet criteria for affidavit of support?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
In a marriage-based adjustment of status application, generally if the U.S. citizen spouse does not have sufficient documentable income to meet the Affidavit of Support requirements then it is necessary to have a joint sponsor, and that joint sponsor may be any U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident (including the brother of the beneficiary) who has sufficient documentable income and who is willing to assume the obligations contemplated in the Affidavit of Support. Both Affidavits of Support should be filed as supporting documents with the Adjustment of Status application. This is just one of the issues that can be significantly more complex than it appears just from reading the immigration forms, the USCIS website and the immigration regulations. It would be wise for you and your spouse to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.

Im a permanent resident and my mother became a citizen before i turned 18. Would derivative citizenship apply in my case? How would i claim?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If you were living together with your mother with permanent residence and in her legal custody when your mother became a citizen, you would have become a US citizen at the time that she became one. You would claim it by either filing for a US passport application or filing for an N-600 application for certificate of citizenship.
