What has to be done to secure this wavier and how soon would it be before my wife re-joins the family in the US?

Kevin L. Dixler
Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
This is complicated. You may have fallen out of status. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can reasonably explain the 212(d)(3) waiver process. It's unclear whether it may be granted with the limited facts provided.

How long does it take to get residency from a sibling?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
You do not file the I-130 and I-864 at the same time. An I-864 is filed when filing for adjustment of status or part of an immigrant visa application. It will take at least 10 years for you to be able to apply for a Green Card based on a petition by a U.S. Citizen sibling. The filing of the I-130 does not permit you to remain in the U.S. or obtain employment authorization. Also, unless you have another legal bases to remain in the U.S. through the ten years, you will not be able to adjust your status in the US since you will be out of status.

Hi i need some advice on H1B transfer. I am currently working on H1b with employer A , and he gave me original i-94 but not sharing I797 A approval no

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Your employer is not required by law to give you a complete copy of the I-797A approval sheet of your H-1B. However, he is supposed to give you the entire lower portion with both the left and the right sides. The right side is the I-94 (as you know), and the left side identifies the petitioner and the validity date of the H-1B. According to the legend on the I-797A, the employer should keep the upper portion of the form and the lower portion should be given to the worker. The right side should be with the I-94 arrival – departure record; the left side can be used in applying for a new visa. So if you are applying for a change of employer, you should be able to show the information on the lower portion of the I-797A to identify your current employer and the dates of validity of the petition.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.
