How can my husband get papers to live in the US legally?

Answered 13 years and 2 months ago by Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
Yes, it should be possible to legalize your husband's immigration status. There are, at least, two different approaches to the task; and to decide which one should be used, your attorney has to find out how did your husband enter the U.S., with a visa or illegally, and to weigh your family circumstances (your and your child's health, your earning capacity, your extended family support in the U.S., etc.) In any event, this is not a do-it-yourself task....

Answered 13 years and 2 months ago by Rex Wenstrom Halverson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
No. But, she needs to pay all back taxes owed and file returns for those years as there is no statute of limitations for fraud! Her husband may be held liable as California is a community property state and half the income of one spouse is attributable to the other.

I came here illegally I married a US citizen but I’m not sure if I should apply for deferred action or through him?

Answered 13 years and 2 months ago by Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
If you are married to a U.S. citizen, he can petition you for a green card without you having to apply for deferred action. Also there is no information given to determine that you would qualify for deferred action. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process....

I have an active felony warrant and have to go back to Europe for work before I can get this taken care of.

Answered 13 years and 3 months ago by attorney Mr. David Troy Cox   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
Unless the authorities are following you, you shouldn't be arrested at the airport.  Neither the airlines nor TSA run criminal background checks before allowing you to fly, so no one at the airport will know of the outstanding warrant.  Of course, you could hire an attorney to represent you and that may help avoid additional charges such as being a fugitive for leaving the US with an outstanding warrant....
