Will committing a public assistance programs fraud effect an asylum seeker case?

Answered by attorney David Troy Cox
Immigration lawyer at CoxEsq, PC
It would not adversely affect her asylum case.  Of course, if she is charged, she may face jail time for the fraud conviction.

Is this marriage fraud and will I be deported?

It sounds like you came to the US awhile back, several months ago, right? Were you asked at the border about your intentions? Did you lie at all to an officer at the border? If no questions were asked and you came in with your B2 visa and married the father of your child several months later, there is no fraud that I can see - provided, of course, that this is a genuine marriage and you truly intend to raise a family with your husband. You are not required to inform the CBP officers when you enter the US that you are pregnant. If you are asked a question, you cannot lie. But coming to the US while pregnant is not fraud by any stretch of imagination. Of course, if you lied anywhere along the way, this could cause a problem later. This is why I tell all my clients that the worst thing they can do is lie on their applications or verbally to any immigration or consular officers. That said, you are not required to volunteer any information. If not asked - you do not have to volunteer any information. But if asked - tell the truth. If nothing happened to you at the border, no questions, no lies, you should be just fine.

How will long will it take to petition my daughter if I am a US citizen and my daughter is in Pakistan?

You can file an I-130 petition now, but it will be several years before she can apply for immigration. Read the monthly visa bulletin for wait times. I am attaching the October issue. The married daughter of a USC is 3rd preference.
