You notify Uscis that you want to change the field office location because you moved to another state. If you want counsel to represent you, you can always hire someone and they can file a G 28 notice of appearance of attorney of record in the case to take it over. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee to handle a case midstream. ... Read More

Does the waiver for meeting in person for the K-1 visa apply if my girlfriend lives in Iran (as there is a travel ban to there)?

Answered a year and 4 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer
If there is a way for you to meet in a third country, then you should take that option. Otherwise, it is very likely that your K-1 visa will be denied. Remember, the physical meeting requirement can be anywhere in the world. Also to support your K-1 visa application, keep a record of all your chat communication logs, and take plenty of pictures when you meet her with family and/or friends and also all travel itinerary. Consider working with an attorney. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee for start to finish representation.... Read More

How can I confirm a shipment is in fact in New York

Answered 2 years and 2 months ago by attorney Paul Croushore   |   1 Answer
You should hire an attorney to contact the customs offices in each nation directly to confirm the supposed customs duties have been paid.  Some years ago I had a client who bought a shipload of cocoa from Ghana.  He flew to Amsterdam to meet the ship, but it had been double-sold, and he was prosecuted for committing fraud, even though he was the victim.  He shopped around for the cheapest lawyer he could find; my boss gave him a quote, but he hired two lawyers for less than we would have charged.  He was convicted of criminal fraud.  In post-conviction motions he then hired us, and we proved that he was the victim, resulting in the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals vacating his conviction. But in the meantime he was locked up in jail for a year because he believed the wrong people and hired the wrong lawyer. ... Read More

My boyfriend lives in Bahrain but he wants to come to the United States for us to get married next year. What is the best way to go about it.

Answered 2 years and 4 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer
If he's in the US and has entered lawfully, then he can adjust status. This would only be possible if he entered with the purpose to visit and then later changed his mind and decided to get married and remain permanently. If he is overseas, then you can sponsor him for a Fiance visa after both of you physically meet. This process takes up to two years. ... Read More
