Oldsmar, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

You can either pursue the route of a fiancée visa, or you can get married and pursue the route of a spousal visa. If your boyfriend travels to the United States on a visitor visa, with the intent only to visit, but later changes his mind and decides to get married and remain, he can adjust status, even though he falls out of status. ( as long as you're a US citizen) You should retain counsel here in the state of Florida for representation.     

As a US citizen, you can file a spousal immediate relative petition and apply for your husbands green card. Retain counsel so that your paperwork can be done timely and correctly to assure a smooth and hassle free application process. 

The provisional I-601A waiver application allows those who are immediate relatives of US citizens (parents, spouses, and children 17- 21 and unmarried) and who have a qualifying relative to whom extreme hardship would befall if the waiver was not granted (US citizen spouses or parents) to file for a waiver of the three or 10 year bars upon return occasioned by their illegal stay in the US while they are in the US and have the waiver adjudicated prior to making a decision to leave the US for consular processing of their immigration papers. Under prior law, such individuals would have to be interviewed by an American consulate officer, refused the immigrant visa, and then informed that he or she could file for an I- 601 waiver. During the waiver application's pendency, they would have to remain outside the US in hopes of a favorable adjudication. The I-601A waiver, however, is restrictive in the type of individuals who can apply in that it only cures illegal stay in the states. Although there was much comment that the provisional waiver should include those with orders of exclusion, deportation, or removal, the final rule did not include persons with other problems. Mothers who have been deported would not be included.
