Tamarac, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Hello, The best way to find out if your children can get Ecuadorian citizenship in addition to their U.S. citizenship is to contact the Ecuadorian consulate. At our law firm we have filed citizenship applications for people who do not want to give up their original nationality and the USCIS has not asked them to choose one. However some countries will ask you to revoke your original citizenship before you can become a citizen so it is a good idea to check with an Ecuadorian consular officer first. Good Luck. The information above is of a general nature and is not, nor is it intended to be legal advice. For specific legal advice about your situation, please speak to your immigration attorney. 

You should include a letter from your tax preparer (get one if you don't already have one) with a citation to and copy of the IRS regulation that allows you to file at a different time.  The bottom line is that your taxes are not overdue if in your situation the law doesn't require you to file a return on April 15th.

At this time, everyone is still waiting for action by Congress to pass permanent residence legislation for the DREAMERS. Short of that, permanent residence would only be available through the traditional immigration routes of family, employment, asylum, or investment, etc. Many of these routes would also require that the applicant be the beneficiary of §245(i), which allows adjustment of status for those who have a basis for doing so upon payment of a fine amount of $1000 if the individual is able to show that he or she was the beneficiary of a labor certification application or immigrant visa petition which was filed by April 30, 2001, and that he or she was physically present in the U. S. on December 21, 2000. .
