What can I do if I meet someone who is on a tourist visa and I want to marry her?

Answered by attorney Nicklaus James Misiti (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Nicklaus Misiti, PLLC
The first step is to marry her. Step 2 is to hire an attorney and file an application for her green card. Generally she will receive her work permit in 3 months, and her green card in 6 months.

Do the 240 days on I-539's overwrite the request date (in my case 180 days) on the I-539 if USCIS doesn't respond?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I believe that the 240 days to which you refer are for extended work authorization of certain work-related visas when the petitions have not yet been adjudicated by the ending time of the visa status. That is usually associated with form I-129 rather than I-539, the latter of which is used for other nonworking visa extensions. If you applied for a B1 or B2 extension during the time of Covid, and wish to remain in the best state of legality, you would likely be better off filing for another extension prior to the expiration date of the time that you have requested even if no adjudication has yet been made.

Will my US citizenship application get denied because of suspended license?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
I cannot promise you that your naturalization will not be affected by this problem. Most likely, your application will be approved. The officer just wants to be sure that revocation of your license was not due to a criminal conduct. Driving on a suspended license and unpaid tickets are not criminal and do not disqualify you as a matter of law. However, there is a requirement that an applicant for naturalization must show that she was (and still is) a "person of good moral character" during 10 prior years. There is no statutory definition of "good moral character"; and the precedent court decisions say what acts or behavior show lack of such character. In daily practice, a determination in each case is left to discretion of the immigration officer who handles the case. Since U.S. citizenship is a privilege, not an entitlement, the government can deny it if it feels that the applicant does not deserve this privilege. The officer who interviewed you might decide that driving on a suspended license, failure to pay tickets, and neglecting to take care of your license problems for years - all of this shows your disregard of the law and, therefore, lack of good moral character. It is impossible to predict the decision. I would estimate your chances of approval as 9 to 1. All you can do now is wait. If your application gets denied, you might want to talk to an immigration attorney about requesting reconsideration. Or you can wait until 10 years pass since your last arrest and file a new application.
