How do I start the process of getting a green card for my husband?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Isaul Verdin (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Verdin Law
The only way he can stay and obtain his green card from within the U.S. is if he is grandfathered through 245i. This means that someone should have filed a petition or labor certification for him or his parents on or before April 30, 2001. Otherwise, he has to leave the U.S. to process for his green card.

Can my sister apply for her H1B visa from the United States?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
Based on the information you provided, I do not recommend that she files either for an extension of B status OR an change of status to H. I do recommend that she instead files for an H-1B for consular processing and then applies for the H visa at her US consulate in India. Realizing that these consulates are quite difficult, the annotations in her passport mean that the officer in question felt that she may have improper intent to change or extend status upon entry. While I believe she is still legally able to do so, it could cause issues with DHS adjudication. Additionally, if the H is unsuccessful for some reason, then DHS may decide not to allow her further B entry.

Would it be best if we married in the US or overseas for immigration purposes?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Marie Andree Michaud (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Marie Michaud, Attorney At Law
There is a penalty for those who are in the US unlawfully for at least 180 days (a little less than 6 months - remember one year has 365 days) after the age of 18. Assuming there is no bar and no admissibility problem other than your girlfriend coming to the US illegally at age 6, I would suggest that she leaves the United States before accumulating the 180 days. She should have proof she left the country such as a stamped passport, plane ticket, etc...Attorneys also have a form available that a returning immigrant can take to the US consulate so that a US official out there can confirm she is outside the US, in front of them. You could either get married here, file the family petition or start the fiance petition while she is here in the US. It takes about 6 months for a petition to be approved. The petition could be approved before she has to go. Once the consulate gets her the appointment, she could leave the US, go to the consulate, stay for a few days, then return to the US, so you do not miss her for too long. My second suggestion is to speak to an attorney to make sure there is no other problem(s) such as use of fake documents to enter the US, or any interception while attempting to enter the US, etc...

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
