Can he get a waiver?

Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
This question is confusing. If he is barred for 20 years due to an aggravated felony, then there is no waiver available. He must wait outside the U. S. 20 years before he can immigrate. It is possible that he may still have challenges in twenty years for other reasons. I strongly recommend an appointment with a candid, competent and experienced immigration attorney. Good luck.

Can I stay and work in USA with an active I94 but with an expired L1B visa?

Answered by attorney Bruce A. Coane (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
No problem and no issue whatsoever. A visa only deals with the right to apply to enter the USA. The ability to stay is controlled by the I-94 card. Some people have a 10 year visa and mistakenly believe they can stay here for 10 years.

With my O-1 visa, how long can I stay in the US after my employer fired me ?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
There is no period of time allowed an individual to remain in the States under an O-1 visa after being fired by an employer. That being said, U.S.C.I.S. tries to be reasonable in those situations, and in the H-1B context, one of its supervisors at the Vermont service Center informed the New York AILA chapter some time ago that U.S.C.I.S. would generally accept new applications submitted within 30 days in those type of situations, but that it was in the individual officer's discretion. Your spouse is dependent upon you and would enjoy no better rights than you to remain in the States.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
