If I am getting married and I have to leave USA, if I came back with ESTA, can I ask an adjustment of state?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard Stephan Kolomejec (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Richard S. Kolomejec
Do not marry and then leave the country. This is a really bad idea. You can have issues coming back in. It usually takes about a year to bring a spouse from outside the US. The preferred option would be to marry in the US and then apply for a work permit, travel permit and green card. Then you can travel without any complications.

Is my wifes petition going to be impacted because my divorce is not final?

Answered by attorney Eric M. Mark
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Eric M. Mark
Yes. Your current marriage is not valid. You cannot petition. You need to get divorced first, then remarry. YOu should have the new marriage annulled and get married after the divorce.

Will I be able to apply for a non-immigrant visa to the US before the end of my 10 year ban in September?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I do not see the sense of attempting to apply for a visit in May when your 10 year ban ends in September. It could possibly take longer for U.S.C.I.S. to agree to admit you than September. There is of course no guarantee that an American consular officer will issue a visiting visa to you even after the 10 year bar is over. When you say that your brother applied for a change of status for you and the case was approved by the first processing, I assume that you mean that your brother is a US citizen and applied for an I-130 petition on your behalf which has already been approved and that he and you are awaiting information from the Department of State. Generally speaking, your brother should have received communication from the National Visa Center (NVC) of the Department of State when the I-130 petition was approved. The NVC would generally just advise that it had your case and give the NVC case number. A sibling case takes approximately 12 years for an individual to be interviewed for an immigrant visa. You would probably have to wait over 11 years before the NVC began sending paperwork to you and your brother concerning the payment of visa fees and giving a list of documentary requirements. Your chances of immigrating through your brother are probably better than your obtaining a nonimmigrant visitor's visa, the latter of which requires a showing of non-immigrant intent.
