I have no idea what Nigerian law is, or what they consider their jurisdiction to be.  Certainly a U.S. court would have jurisdiction over it if there were other connections to the US.  For example, if one of the parties to the contract was American.

Can I apply for a Turist Visa if I have an H2B and I'm in USA?

Answered 11 years and a month ago by attorney Alan Lee, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration

S. by making an application with U.S.C.I.S. on form I-539 application to extend/change nonimmigrant status with fee as long as you are still maintaining legal H-2B status at the time of the application.

First, I don't know what a "native" corporation is, but unless it has different rules than other types of corporations, it has no obligation to pay dividends.  Many corporations don't pay dividends.  The only obligations a corporation might have regarding the payment of dividends would be not to discriminate in the payment of dividends, e.g. not to pay dividends on some shares and not to pay dividends on other shares of the same class.  Nor can it circument this obligation not to discriminate by paying excess compensation (i.e. compensation above the fair market value for services rendered) to some shareholders in the form of salary or other employee compensation. ...

Your fiancé will only be able to become a US citizen five years after the date that he was granted his initial green card. The three-year rule generally only applies where the individual is still married to the same US citizen from whom he or she received the initial green card-not the combined times of two marriages. In order for him to take advantage of the three-year rule based upon your marriage, he would have to show that you and he were married for three years; that you have held US citizenship for three years; and that both you and he have lived together without significant break for three years.

What takes the least amount of time to process, K1 or CR1?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by attorney Alan Lee, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
A K-1 nonimmigrant visa takes lesser time to process than a CR-1 application for conditional residence based on marriage. Generally speaking, K-1 processing usually takes approximately 9 months while CR-1 processing about a year to a year and a half.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.

Your father can petition for you again, but there is no guarantee that you will not have the same result. An individual who has committed marriage fraud or been suspected of such by U.S.C.I.S. or the American Consulate will have petitions for other children severely scrutinized. As your father's case appears to be fairly complicated, I suggest that he make an appointment with an experienced immigration lawyer to go through the type of risk that he would run if he petitioned for you again.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.

If you are in Florida, there is no age where a minor child gets to "decide" where they want to reside. So no, you don't have to let her move.

What about challenging a will in a different state?

Answered 12 years and 6 months ago by attorney William R. Pelger   |   1 Answer
First i don't know WA or AK law, so follow up with a local attorney. My thoughts are if you wish to have the will challenged, you probably need a doctor to opine that at the time it was signed by dad he was incompetent. For example, on medication, had alzheimers, etc. In my state you would definately need that to prove he was incompetent at the time. Proving undue influence would require witnesses to say your brother misled, bullied, corerced, or manipulated your dad into signing. Unless you have credible witnesses to support that, it would be difficult. I would consult with a lawyer where you live or in AK to advise further. ... Read Answer

You should not have a problem with transferring to another state while your naturalization application is in progress, especially if you are only in the biometrics stage. At this time, you could speak with The National Customer Service Center of U.S.C.I.S., 1 – 800 – 375 – 5283 to request the transfer. The difficulty may come about later if you have been scheduled for an interview at the local U.S.C.I.S. field office. In that event, you may have to contact the local field office in which your file has been transferred and the one in which you now live in order to effect the transfer of your file and rescheduling an interview at the local field office with jurisdiction over your residence.  ...

Authorities in the US will not likely have access to European systems that would show the oustanding fine there.  Even so, an unpaid fine is minor compared to a DUI so I'm not sure it would matter if the unpaid fine were thrown into the mix.  In any case, your husband should have his criminal defense attorney work closely with an immigration attorney in determining how best to proceed with his case....

From the tone of your inquiry, I will assume that you are not subject to a two-year home residence requirement by virtue of your J-1 status.  If not subject, in answer to your question, a better solution is for you to marry, apply for adjustment of status to permanent residence on form I-485, and request advance parole to travel in the interim on form I-131 (application for travel document). Such would be issued approximately 90 days after the filing of the application. If you leave the U. S. and reenter on the J-1 right before you marry to a U. S. citizen and apply for permanent residence, there may be questions during the interview as to your true intent in coming back to the States and whether you misrepresented your true purpose in returning.
