Mableton, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

In the naturalization application process you will be required to supply information about your current marital status and about the locations where you and your wife now reside. You should expect the fact that you and your wife are living apart to be addressed at the naturalization interview/examination regardless of whether you obtained Permanent Resident status based upon your marriage and regardless of whether you are filing for naturalization after 3 years or 5 years of being a Permanent Resident. Documentary evidence of your and her travel to be with each other, of your and her joint filing of tax returns and of you and she having a child together indeed could be helpful, but you should anticipate needing more evidence of the bona fide nature of your marriage than that. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about you and your marital relationship, could advise you and provide legal representation to address these issues in the naturalization application process.

If your husband falsely claimed to be a U. S. citizen on or after September 30, 1996, he is permanently barred from immigrating to the U. S. He may be eligible for a nonimmigrant visa waiver with the factors to be considered the nature and date of the offense, rehabilitation of character, and the necessity for, or the urgency of his proposed trip to the United States.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 a U.S. citizen age 21 or older may petition for a parent to adjust status in the U.S. through an application in the Immediate Relative visa category, and there is no requirement that the parent and child live together or even in the same state. There are many other details, however, that govern eligibility, including details about the parent's entry into the U.S., date of entry, and more. It would be wise for you and your mother to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, would be able to advise about eligibilities, options and strategies and offer legal representation for the process which often is more complex than it may appear.
