Denton, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

There isn't anything you can do to petition for your cousin from a family-based perspective. You should have an attorney review her educational background and work history to see if she qualifies for a non-immigrant employment-based visa.

Hello: *Permission to Reenter, Consulate Processing and Waiver of the 3/10 year bar * There are three packages that must be completed. The Consulate Processing, the Permission to Reenter and the Waiver of Inadmissibility. A Consulate Processing package needs to be done for the Family Petition. This is a petition that will allow your loved one to come to the U.S. Our firm can prepare the Consulate Processing package which goes through U.S. Immigration, the National Visa Center and then the Consulate, so it goes smoothly and correctly. A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is a package that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits and declarations. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the ground of ineligibility (i.e., the 3/10 year bar) disappear so that the you will be allowed entry into the U.S. You will also need to have a Permission to Reenter done so that the deportation bar will be lifted. This is a complete package that goes to the District Director to allow entry into the U.S. many years prior to when the deportation order would allow.

That is not really the right question. They are lawful PERMANENT residents. So the intent is that they will live in the US. Regardless of the 180/365 rule, DHS really is looking at a pattern of practice. How much time in a year are they in the US? Where is their employment and house? Where do they pay taxes? I recommend that you set an appointment for them with a competent immigration attorney in your area once in the US. They need to go over their fact pattern and long term travel goals so the attorney can outline the law and see what options are available to protect them. Make sure to ask about the reentry permit.
