McIntosh, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Generally, a trespass is not a bad crime under US immigration laws as long as there was no danger to any person or other violent act; however, to become a US citizen, if you have a conviction in the 5 years prior to applying then it may be grounds to deny for lack of good moral character during that period but that would require that the conviction is a crime of moral turpitude. So, I recommend that you consult with an attorney to determine whether or not this is a good time for you to apply. Good Luck.

Many people immigrate to the States by having the principal alien come first for a variety of reasons, and there is no disadvantage to having your father follow within the six months that he is given on the immigrant visa. There should be no issue with your mother and your sister coming in first. Neither would there be an issue with your father coming in later. The only rule of Immigration in this regard is that the dependent cannot precede the principal alien 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.
