Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
Not much of your posting has to do with his immigration status. If you are a US citizen, then you can file for him, but there are several factors to review to see if he is eligible for an immigrant visa and if he can file in the US or if he needs to file at his home consulate. These factors are: country of birth, manner of entry to the US, immigration violations or misrepresentations, criminal or civil violations, any filings prior to April 30, 2001, any extreme and unusual hardship to a qualifying US relative as the basis for a waiver. Get all this information and documentation and consult with an experienced immigration attorney.

Why was my husband sent back to Mexico if he qualified under the 245i Law?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
If your husband was eligible for 245i, he should have made that claim in court. It's the responsibility of the respondent to inform the court as to what form of relief that he/she wishes to apply for with the immigration judge; the Department of Homeland Security will not make that determination for you. As long as your husband does not have any other issues of inadmissibility, you will now need to follow up on the I-130 petition that you had filed for him until he receives his visa interview at the US consulate in Juarez. After the interview, it's likely the consulate will require your husband to file an I-601 waiver application because he accumulated more than one year of unlawful presence before departing the United States. If the waiver application is approved, your husband will be allowed to return to the US immediately. If the waiver application is denied, he cannot return to the US for 10 years. In any event, he should NOT return to the US illegally.

Can I change b1b2 to f1?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
To change your status from B1/B2 to F1, you need to file an I-539 application to change status with USCIS and submit your original I-94 card, your original I-20 form, and evidence that you have sufficient funds to pay for tuition. You must file the application while you are still in valid status. After you file the application, you will still be considered in valid status while the application is pending.
