Do I have any chances in obtaining an h1b visa since I'm illegal now and I have bachelor’s degree?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If you are out of status, you cannot receive any visa. You might be able to obtain legal status through a marriage to a U.S. citizen, regardless of the length of time you would spend in the U.S. before applying. Other possibilities are asylum and cancellation of removal (if your removal would cause an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to your U.S. spouse, parent, or child). If you do not think either one of these possibilities might work for you, consider leaving the U.S. before your overstay amounts to 180 days and, by doing so, avoiding the penalty of 3-year bar on re-entering the U.S.

"illegal alien register for the selective service he get his citizenship?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
At this time, the Armed Forces of the US screen applicants and generally will not allow undocumented immigrants to join the branches. Those should do manage to slip in many times have difficult times in citizenship applications because of the prevarications used in entering the Service branch. The case law is divided on the naturalization eligibility of people who served honorably in violation of the enlistment provisions, and suggests that citizenship may be granted where the wrongful enlistment was innocent as opposed to fraudulent. However, please note that everyone who is not a nonimmigrant including undocumented immigrants is obligated to register for selective service. It seems strange having to register for service that a person will never get a chance to perform, but that is the law of the country. It may be that the US will be less selective if there is a serious war and will require the services of undocumented immigrants at that time.

What is the penalty for a Peruvian overstaying a US visa

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
There is no specific attitude one way or another to the Peruvian nationality insofar as overstaying a US visa is concerned. Anyone who overstays for 180 days is barred from return for three years and if the overstay is one year, the bar is 10 years. The bar would be enforced in the event that you left the country and had to return. Further individuals who are overstays may be caught and have to go through immigration court proceedings to decide whether they should be removed from the country. At the present time, being an overstay is not a crime, but considered a civil violation.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.
