Milton, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Although not entirely clear from your question, I presume you are a U.S. citizen with substantial documentable income; you are interested in sponsoring your husband in a marriage-based adjustment of status application; and you want to know whether your son's receipt of disability benefits, your receipt of child support and your residing in an apartment with rent tied to your income would interfere with eligibility. If my presumption is correct, then note that in such an immigration application process you would need to provide evidence of your earnings (such as tax returns) sufficient enough to exceed the government's published poverty guidelines for your family size, and frequently it will be important to supply a copy of an apartment lease (to show who is living in the apartment and/or to show you and your husband are both named in the lease). Beyond that, the USCIS will not be interested in your son's disability benefits, your receipt of child support or the rental fee you are paying. Of course, there are many other details that impact immigration eligibility. It would be wise for you and your husband to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant details, could advise you about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies, and who then could offer legal representation in the application process (which frequently is significantly more complex than it might appear).

A Permanent Resident may petition for a spouse located in another country through consular processing followed by Adjustment of Status. There is a backlog for available visas in the Family-Based Second Preference (FB2A) visa category - applicable to spouse of Permanent Residents - with visas now available for those with Priority Dates of September 1, 2013 or earlier (for Mexican nationals, the delay is slightly longer). It would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney to explore whether there may be other immigration-related options, and also to provide legal representation in the application process, especially since improper preparation of applications and inadequate documentation may cause significant delays or even more harsh consequences. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
