Lilburn, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you are married to your fiancée, you would have no better rights to bring over her mother than you do now. Your wife could attempt to bring her over at this time under a visitors visa and such would be decided by a US consular officer dependent upon whether he or she believes that her mother would return to Mexico after a short period of visit. Whether you are married to your fiancé or not, you could provide the financial guarantee that her mother would not work if she came to the US. That is presupposing that your financial situation is stable. Such guarantee is usually made on form I-134 affidavit of support with job letter, banking statement, and the last year's tax return.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

Generally, the USCIS will consider a divorce to be valid if the divorce was lawful in the place where it occurred. If you are considering sponsoring a spouse for immigration benefits, there really is no substitute for consulting with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, including divorce details, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.

Generally, a single traffic offense for which an immigration applicant paid a fine will not stand in the way of eligibility to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). Failure to pay a fine ordered by a court, however, may be viewed as a lack of attachment to the laws of the U.S. and/or an act showing lack of good moral character. It would be wise to pay any fine that has been imposed by a court, and it also would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.
