Englewood, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

You seem to be receiving confusing advice. Even if you withdraw your petition, that will still attach to the new one. Your problem seems to be somewhere else. Hire an experienced immigration attorney.

My advice is to stop researching the internet to find the answer and instead schedule a consultation with a qualified attorney who can guide you through the situation. Your inquiry makes very evident that you have spent hours trying to ask as many sources the answer to your question. And while informed clients are always preferred, some obsess on questions they will not figure out on their own. Rather than drive yourself and those around you completely nuts, schedule an appointment with a qualified attorney and then seek another opinion from another qualified attorney. That should provide you with enough information. If this is the only charge you have ever had, you should be fine. Take it easy on trying to be your own lawyer and listen to some advice from a qualified professional. You are making way more out of the problem than need be.

It  all depends basically on where your boyfriend is.  If he is in the US you can marry him here, and then the real question is where to process his green card application.  If he entered legally and you are a US citizen, then in most cases (depending on how he entered the US), he can adjust his status here and it is unnecessary for him to depart the US.  In most cases this is true even if he entered legally but is now illegally here because he overstayed.   If he entered illegally, depending on the circumstances of the case, he may need to process his case abroad (in his home country), and that can have other consequences.  It is difficult to give you a specific way to proceed without having more information, but if you tell me how he entered the US, I might be able to tell you more specifically.   When you ask whether you need to have your own place, that is a little vague.  If you share a home with roommates (or even your parents) and your husband will be joining you, that is acceptable, but you do need to show that the relationship is real.   In terms of your income, there is a requirement that you file an affidavit of support showing that you can support him if he should become a public charge, the amount you need to show will depend ont he number of dependents you have.  If he is adjusting status in the US, he should be able to get permission to work here within 90 days of filing the application.  I hope this helps you.
