I am trying to get my wife of 17 years a greencard but her passport expired ,she has a tps

Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
If she has entered the country legally, and you are married and she lives in the US, she can adjust status, unless there are grounds of inadmissibility that she may fall under. The passport issue only is relevant if she plans to travel out of the country pending her adjustment of status. Hire counsel anywhere in the US to process her appliaction.

Am I eligible to apply for the dream act to go back to the US even though I'm not in the US?

Matthew Scott Kriezelman
Answered by attorney Matthew Scott Kriezelman (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC
Unfortunately, you must have been in the United States in June of 2012 in order to qualify for DACA. If there is a "Dream Act" that is passed, you would possibly be able to come in depending on the exact requirements.

Will my current visa be canceled if I play for another team?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If the visa was granted for 5 years, you can use it for re-entering the U.S. so long as you do not violate the terms of the visa. B1/B2 visa does not require a sponsor, and your team is not in position to ask the USCIS to cancel your visa. The problem is that they might not believe it and send a letter anyway. And USCIS can cancel your visa - not because your team asked for it, but because the immigration might decide that you are violating the terms of your visa. You might violate your visa status by doing something you are not supposed to do on that particular visa. For instance, you are not supposed to work while on a B1/B2 visa, or go to school, or play sports if you get any kind of compensation for playing (food, housing, etc.) If you are an athlete and are in the U.S. to participate in an athletic activity, B1/B2 visa is not the right visa for you. Depending on your level and the arrangements with your sponsor you should apply for an O or P visa. You might get tied up to a particular sponsor, but there are benefits - in the length of time you can be in the U.S., in ability to get an official permission to work and earn money, in potential ability to get a green card in the future. You do not need to leave the U.S. to get a new visa: you can apply for a change of status while you are in the U.S. Terms of your relationship with the sponsor have to be discussed with an attorney who is knowledgeable about the immigration law, contract law, and sports & entertainment law. Success of your application for a visa depends on how exactly your qualifications and the what you are going to do in the U.S. would match the Immigration Service's requirements for that visa. There is not much time for taking care of this. If you were admitted into the U.S. for 6 months, the sooner you apply for a change of your visa, the less will be the chances that your permitted stay will end before you receive a decision on your change of status application (and, take my word for it, you don't want that to happen).
