How long before I can sponsor another family member?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Significantly more information is needed in order to respond to your question and to further evaluate eligibilities, options and strategies: What is the sponsor's/petitioner's immigration status? What is the family member's/beneficiary's relationship to the petitioner? Is the beneficiary located in the U.S. or outside the U.S.? What is the beneficiary's immigration-related history? Etc. It would be wise for the anticipated sponsor and beneficiary to consult with an immigration lawyer.

Can I file petition for adjustment of status for permanent residency and does she need to take J1 waiver before I file petition?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Since your wife previously had a J1 visa, before she is able to succeed in a marriage-based adjustment of status application in the Immediate Relative visa category it will be important for her to (1) provide appropriate documentation showing that the J1 visa did not subject her to a two-year home residency requirement, or (2) provide an Approval Notice for waiver of the two-year requirement. There are other details too that need to be addressed, and it would be wise for you and your wife to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant details, will be able to advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies, and would be able to offer legal representation in the often quite complex application process.

Can I get a misdemeanor for prostitution removed from my record?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Congratulations upon being approved for your "Green Card." Immigration authorities do not reveal to the public (or to immigration lawyers) the exact databases they access for various purposes, including screening Permanent Residents when they enter the U.S., but those databases and resources are very extensive and do reveal criminal matters despite "nolle prosequi" dispositions and even expungements and court orders to seal files. Generally, Permanent Residents become eligible to petition to become naturalized U.S. citizens after 5 years of Permanent Resident status (3 years for most people married to U.S. Citizens), and of course those petitions may be filed 90 days before the end of the 5-year or 3-year period. Once becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen, details about the 2009 arrest will become irrelevant and you should not be questioned about it upon entering the country.
