Mississippi Immigration Legal Questions

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. 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 and advise you of your options.... Read More

*L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa Petition* An L-1 Visa is one of the nicest working visas as it allows you to run your own business or a business owned by the foreign company. If you have your own business outside the U.S. and have been working there for at least one year, you can come to the U.S. on the L-1 Visa. Additionally, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old can come as beneficiaries to your approved L-2. Your children will be able to go to school in the U.S. without having to get a separate student visa (as long as they are not in college.). A great deal of the success of the L-1 Petition is how it is prepared. Unlike other investment related visas, the investment in the U.S. business could be as low as $10,000U.S. My firm can prepare the entire petition. This petition is usually 2-4 inches thick. It consists of the petition itself, the complex business plan with numerous charts and figures, and if needed, the incorporation papers. Once submitted, it could take as little as a couple of months to get approved if premium processing is used. Otherwise, it could take over one year. It cost $1,500 more in fees to do the Premium Processing. My firm can also do the incorporation of the business in the U.S. It is more than simply preparing the Articles of Incorporation as immigration requires many other documents such as the Stock Transfer Ledger, Stock Certificates, Bylaws, Notice of Meetings among other items. Your B1 will no longer be valid.... Read More

There isn't much you can do to take away your husband's green card. I suggest that you contact an experienced family law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your marriage. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case and advise you of your options. At the very least you should be eligible to receive child support and possibly spousal support from your husband.... Read More

A TN visa is going to require a degree in dentistry, and as a dental tech rather than a full dentist she may not qualify. She may be able to obtain an H-1b visa, but I would have a concern with whether she will have the education and professional qualifications - she would need to show the equivalent of a four year bachelor's degree. The part-time offer would be sufficient, however.... Read More

*Waiver of Inadmissibility* A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is an application that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits, declarations and other evidence. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the crime or ground of ineligibility disappear so that entry or re-entry will be allowed into the U.S. Please note that the Waiver is the critical part of this application, and unless approved, there cannot be any other petition that will allow entry into the U.S. Therefore, the Waiver must be prepared with significant supporting documents....

The question in my mind from what you state is how did he re-enter the U.S. most recently? If it was EWI (without inspection), sadly, there is nothing that can be done. There is a statute that prevents a person from obtaining immigration benefits if he re-entered the United States without inspection after having been removed. The law prevents obtaining any benefits 10 years from the date he leaves and stays outside of the United States.... Read More
