Lady Lake, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

In February 2012 you will be able to apply for permanent residency. Then you may apply for your future wife which may take 24 years but she will not be able to stay here unless otherwise authorized.

It appears that someone is an eager beaver. You can sell your residence to whomever you choose, whether the person is a U. S. citizen, permanent resident, person on a nonimmigrant visa, or even someone who is illegal. But at present, an immigrant will not be able to get a green card buying a house for over $500,000. In the Senate bill for comprehensive immigration reform which is not yet law, there is provision for giving retiree visas to aliens who use $500,000 in cash to purchase one or more residences at an amount in excess of 100% of the assessed value; are at least 55 years of age and have health insurance; are not inadmissible to this country; will not seek public assistance; will not work other than to manage a residential property worth at least $500,000; and will reside in the U. S. in a residence worth more than $500,000. If and when this law passes, these qualifying individuals would receive renewable three-year visas and be allowed admission along with their spouses and children.

Are your parents permanent residents now? If you are currently illegal along with your parents the first status to seek would be permanent residency if you have a sponsor. These are complicated cases to work through so I suggest you consult an attorney to evaluate both your parents' cases and your own and advise you of your options. If you want to schedule a consultation you may contact me as indicated below; we do charge for consultations but whatever fee you pay for the consultation would then be a credit toward the fees of your case if you retain me for work beyond the consultation.
