What do I do if I got registered in selective service system without my consent and I am on f2 visa?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
You should a) write a letter to the Selective Service explaining that: - you did not fill out the registration form and do not know who did; - you are not a citizen of the United States, and never claimed to be one; - you are not a permanent resident of the United States, and never claimed to be one; - you are in the United States on a non-immigrant visa, namely, F2 visa, and, to the best of your knowledge, you are not subject to Selective Service registration; b) attach a copy of the letter you received; c) make a complete copy of everything; d) send your letter, with attached copy of the Selective Service notification you received, to the Selective Service *by certified mail with return receipt requested* e) after the return receipt comes back to you, file it with the copy of what you sent in a place where you will be able to find it, if ever becomes necessary; and f) stop worrying about all this.

I hold the Belgian nationality and I entered US under VWP so I can not stay longer than 3 months or even extend my stay. How can I stay longer.

Answered by attorney David Troy Cox
Immigration lawyer at CoxEsq, PC
You cannot stay longer if you entered on the VWP.  You could leave and return immediately for another three-month period, but of course you may not be employed.  A work permit requires an underlying status that generally requires a sponsor, such as a family member or prospective employer who has filed an immigrant petition for you.  However, in the case of a sibling relationship, there is a long wait between filing the petition and obtaining the immigrant visa (and work authorization)--many years in fact.  If you have a degree and can find work that requires your degreed skills, you may qualify for an H1B1 visa.  That is only a temporary visa, but it can be renewed, allowing for a lengthy stay while employed.  Right now, the quota for H1B1 visas has been filled and will not re-open until next year.

If I got a DWI, can I still sponsor my husband who entered the US illegally?

Answered by attorney Myron Russell Morales (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Quan Law Group, PLLC
Yes, you can, but consult with an attorney to see if he can adjust his status in the US or will need a waiver.
