Can my father in law ever come back to the US legally if he has a criminal record?

Answered by attorney Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Immigration lawyer at Oltarsh & Associates, P.C.
It depends on what the crime was. If it is classified as an "aggravated felony" for immigration purposes, he cannot return under the current law. If it is not, there may be a waiver of inadmissibility.

Can I still file a petition for my mom even if I stop working?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I will assume that your mother is overseas and that you will be filing an I-130 petition and she will ultimately consular process at the American consulate or embassy in her home country. If that is your situation, financial support is not a concern at this stage. It only become relevant when the I-130 petition is approved and your mother begins consular processing. That would likely be over a year from now. If you stop working and have no employment by that time, a good option is to find a bona fide joint sponsor, e.g. related or friend, who can assist with the support obligation. If you have sufficient liquid assets, you may look on the poverty guidelines to see whether they will support your mother’s immigration. The amount of assets must be a multiple of 5 to cover multiple years of support. We note, however, that US consular officers sometimes have a more stringent view of the amount of financial support required in the case of parents.
