Wyoming Immigration Legal Questions

Under U. S. immigration laws, the issue is not whether a person applies for Medicaid, but whether the person receives Medicaid benefits. If you are not receiving means tested benefits from federal, state, or city, the Medicaid question is inapplicable. Even if you were receiving Medicaid, you would not get into trouble for having signed for your husband’s financial affidavit support as there is no indication of fraud in your case and the prohibition would be against him receiving means tested benefits.

Hello Nataly. Since you left the US after accruing one year or more of unlawful presence and reentered the US illegally you are now inadmissible to receive permanent resident status until you have lived outside the US for ten years; there is not a waiver available during the ten year period. Look at INA 212(a)(9)(C) - (C) Aliens unlawfully present after previous immigration violations.- (i) In general.-Any alien who- (I) has been unlawfully present in the United States for an aggregate period of more than 1 year, or (II) has been ordered removed under section 235(b)(1), section 240, or any other provision of law, and who enters or attempts to reenter the United States without being admitted is inadmissible. (ii) Exception.-Clause (i) shall not apply to an alien seeking admission more than 10 years after the date of the alien's last departure from the United States if, prior to the alien's reembarkation at a place outside the United States or attempt to be readmitted from a foreign contiguous territory, 14a 6aa the Secretary of Homeland Security has consented to the alien's reapplying for admission. It appears that you are only eligible for DACA at this time until the laws change.  ... Read More

Hello,   It depends. If you have met her within the past 2 years and you are engaged, you may be able to file for a fiancee visa which would allow her to come to the U.S. as your fiancee and then you would need to get married within 90 days. Otherwise you can see if she can get a visitor's visas but it might not be easy to get one. A lawyer can advise you on the best way to move forward (after speaking to you about your own particular situation and your fiancees'). An attorney can prepare the paperwork and file for the fiancee visa while giving you useful advice, watch over your case and give you a good estimate about how long it will take. Also, because an immigration attorney has experience with the immigration service, they may also help you avoid problems which can cause delays on your case.  Generally when our office has filed fiancee visas they have taken many months from start to completion. Good luck.   Disclaimer:  The answers to frequently asked questions are based on limited information available to us.    The answer provided is of a general nature and does not establish an attorney - client relationship.  It is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice.

Misrepresentation under U. S. immigration law only applies where one is making such to a U. S. official.

Many times there is nothing that an individual can do except apply again after an appropriate period of time. You may encounter a friendlier consular officer. You may also be turned down again since most nonimmigrant visas are given in the discretion of the consular officers. You have also pointed out a reality that if there are no new circumstances, you may be denied as you were turned down previously. I would suggest applying again once you establish stronger bonds with your home country and have a longer period than three months between your applications.
