West Melbourne, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you moved back to Canada in 1995 with no visits or sporadic visits to the U. S. since then, you would have lost your green card long ago. You would probably have to start the process all over again of immigrating to the States. If your children are U. S. citizens and over the age of 21, they could conceivably petition for your immigration. If they were 18 years or older at the time that you married with your 2nd wife, however, they would not be able to petition for her. In that situation, you would have to immigrate first and sponsor your wife under the F-2A category for spouses of lawful permanent residents. The backlog before she could enter the States with permanent residence is approximately 2-3 years.

It appears that someone is an eager beaver. You can sell your residence to whomever you choose, whether the person is a U. S. citizen, permanent resident, person on a nonimmigrant visa, or even someone who is illegal. But at present, an immigrant will not be able to get a green card buying a house for over $500,000. In the Senate bill for comprehensive immigration reform which is not yet law, there is provision for giving retiree visas to aliens who use $500,000 in cash to purchase one or more residences at an amount in excess of 100% of the assessed value; are at least 55 years of age and have health insurance; are not inadmissible to this country; will not seek public assistance; will not work other than to manage a residential property worth at least $500,000; and will reside in the U. S. in a residence worth more than $500,000. If and when this law passes, these qualifying individuals would receive renewable three-year visas and be allowed admission along with their spouses and children.
