If your mother left the house to you (and only you) in her will, you should be able to re-title the house in your name. Once you do that, you should have no problems working with a realtor to sell the property because it will officially and legally belong to you. However, I recommend communicating with the reverse mortgage lender (secured creditor on the house) to discuss your plan to sell the home and pay them off. They may allow you to just assume the terms, but you will definitely still have to pay that debt off.... Read Answer

When a H-1B applicant for consular processing applies for and receives the H-1B visa, he or she is making an assertion that he or she will be returning to the US to work for that particular employer. It may be deemed visa fraud or misrepresentation if you return to begin working with another employer immediately when you reenter the US. A suggestion is to return and work with the sponsoring employer for a period of time before attempting to switch over to another organization.

It would appear that the child is protected under the CSPA as his age was “frozen” at the time that the priority date became current which would appear from your set of facts to have been in September 2022. He also sought to acquire his immigrant status by his having filed the I-485 application in the same month. Alternate options would not appear to be necessary.

Without knowing the circumstances of the revocations of the two H-1B petitions, one cannot give assurances that they will not affect a future green card process through your husband. However, the fact that you were allowed a change of status back to F-2 is encouraging as it means that USCIS took a look at your situation and found that in its discretion, it would allow you to resume your former nonimmigrant status. If you are truly concerned about the revocations, you may wish to obtain copies of all paperwork and request the opinion of an immigration lawyer familiar with nonimmigrant work petitions.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee & Arthur Lee, Esqs.’ (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.

In coming to the US, you are making a representation that you are a temporary visitor. Bringing your US citizen child with you may raise doubts on whether you have the requisite nonimmigrant intent. Under the Trump administration, inspections at airports by CBP are becoming more rigorous, and there is the chance of being turned away. A number of individuals have also been detained for days and weeks. A US citizen minor child does not afford any protection against removal. Assuming that you are married to the US citizen, you can be sponsored even if you are overseas. At the end of the process, you would apply for an immigrant visa after interview at the American Consulate or Embassy, a process which is taking approximately two years. USCIS and the consular officer will look at the circumstances of your marriage to ensure that you still both intend to engage in a life together.

That makes no sense. Typically a claims for legal fees has to be made to the court within 30 days fo rendition of the judgment, which means you would gave gotten some notice of the claim. That said, if there is to be a court hearing you have a right to challenge the award of legal fees, and you shoudl discuss this with the lawyer than handled your underlying case. Otherwise, if you were pro-se you will need to now spend money on damage control and what that may entail, including bankruptcy is a different discussion. ... Read Answer

No idea what you are talking about. There is no legal case "with y'all" when you are posting on a legal Q&A forum nor would there be a case waiting for 20 years to settle. There is no way to find out "whats goin on" unless you are able to identify exactly which lawyer you claim was representing you and you would need to ask them, not random people on the internet. ...

If you paid the rent in full for November then the LL cannot terminate the tenancy early. Florida law doe snot recognize a prorated or per diem rent on a month to month tenancy. If you paid less than the full rent, absent written or credible evidence of an agreement for less than the full month, the landlord would be entitled to serve a 3 day notice and sue for eviction on the 4th day. Your facts seem to suggest that you did not pay rent on the 1st when due, then on the 6th claim some agreement was made to pay for the REMAINING 2 weeks, with a vacation date of the 22nd. Then, we are expected to beleive that arbitrarily the LL demanded that you vacate 3 days later on the 9th? That sounds a lot like a 3 day notice for nonpayment of rent. As to actually towing your car, the landlord is not allowed to do that unless or until you are dispossed of the property legally such as an eviction, absent you parking the vehicle illegaly or without permission. That you called the police on the landlord makes clear there is much more to this issue than related as LL/T interaction does not degrade from courtesy agreements to pro-rate your rent to police being called in a matter of days without something happening. That "something" is likely a critical factor in who is entitled or obligated to do what. ... Read Answer
