Is it possible to move ahead with my I-485 now that I am on a J2?

Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
If your wife is a resident, and she is on a J-1 visa, then she is more then likely to be subject to Section 212(e) of the INA. This means that you are also likely to be subject to the two year residence requirement. This means that she/you will need to obtain a waiver of the two year residency requirement.

Change of status

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The difficulty with your situation is that you cannot just apply for a change of status without again applying for the H-1B petition as there is no separate form for change of status as there was in earlier days. Perhaps you may be able to premium process your H-1B so the both the petition and change of  status are approved effective October 1st. In such case, you may be able to travel after the approval and before October 1st. Of course, there is the possibility that a CBP inspector may question you on the issue of nonimmigrant intent if he or she discovers that you have applied for and have been approved for H-1B status. As you know, F-1 students are not supposed to have an immigrant intent.

What can I do if I was sent to ICE custody and I’m facing deportation now for a DUI?

Answered by attorney Peter S Kollory (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Offices of Peter S. Kollory
The safest way to avoid removal is to have DUI charges dismissed. In order to do that you have to plead not guilty and try the case. Meanwhile seek continuance in removal hearing pending outcome of DUI case. You need an attorney with these areas of practice, or a small full service firm that can also handle immigration.
