I have 4 stepchildren that have been her illegal since 2004 when their mother passed away. their father is also illegal here. what is the first step

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I assume that you are a US citizen. I will also assume that your husband and the children came to the US illegally and are not eligible to adjust status in the States. I will not comment on whether this is something you can do by yourself as you can be the judge of that after hearing what is involved. You will have to file I-130 relative petitions on behalf of your husband and the stepchildren. Your stepchildren should be able to return to Mexico for the consular interview. With your husband, he is over the age of 18 and therefore subject to a 10 year bar upon return caused by his illegal stay in the States. Under the Obama administration's latest initiative, the I-601A provisional waiver which will come into effect on March 4, 2013, a waiver application of the bars upon return can be submitted and adjudicated while he is in the States and, if favorable, his immigrant visa interview in Mexico would in all likelihood be fairly routine.

How Do I Change Visa Type

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I cannot think of an appropriate visa for your friend from Brazil to change status to in order to do freelance video production unless he is good enough to qualify for O-1 extraordinary alien status. If not, he may wish to consult with an immigration lawyer to go over his options and what compromises he is willing to make with his goals if he is eligible to obtain some other type of visa status to remain in the country for a longer period of time.

Marrying a DACA recipient

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
It is difficult to know what your qualifications are to stay in the US without more. Marrying a DACA recipient does not give you the right to live with him in the States. I suggest that you seek a consultation with an immigration lawyer who can go over your options.
