We were in the Philippines for her visa July 30/2007. We were told that everything was ok. In Nov.05,2007 We receive notice that her visa was denied. All of her paper work has been sent back to U.S.C.I.S in Calif. to this day we still don,t know what to do. Our daughter was four years old when we sarted adoption. She is now Twelve. Immigraitions is a big headache. Now what. Also we have sent a letter to Dr. Phil, Opra, Presdent Obama By Jean Bartley @ Laurens, S.C. 29360 corbinbartley@yahoo.com Monday, March 16, 2009 Ans: Thank you for your question Jean: The application was probably denied because you did not satisfy the two year residency requirement. If you adopt a child The child must reside with you for at least two years before you submit the paperwork to immigration otherwise they will not approve the case. The only thing I would suggest is to try doing a student visa for her which is a temporary visa and then try the petition once shes here.

Question: Green Card Hi my husband is a green card holder he applied for citizenship 4 years ago, he passed all the tests all he is awaiting is to swear in. I hve been here for 5 years illegally we have been together all this time, if I put in my paperwork for greencard now will I get a work permit, or will I have to wait for years. By Nicolette @ D.C. nishaq44@yahoo.com Thursday, March 19, 2009 Ans: Thank you for your question Nicolette You should wait until your husband becomes a US Citizen to submit your paperwork. There is no visa available to you if he files as a permanent resident. As a US Citizen the green card would be approved within six months.

I want to know how I can get them to petition me. I am now married 28 years of age. Father and mother have different families of their own. When I was conceived, my mother was in the US with me in her womb. She then gave birth in the Philippines then she went back to US and I got stuck in the Philippines. 2006 the first time I saw my father and his kids to visit me. A sad story indeed. My question is, is there any law of abandonement I can file in the US embassy?or anything at all I can do? By the way, on my birth certificate the only name listed is my mom(in the US) my father listed as N/A. Although, DNA will prove otherwise that he is my father. Now I am in Saudi Arabia earning money so I can support my wife and earning some money so I can go to the US as a tourist maybe then my father or my mother can help me with my situation and petition me. Is there anyone that can tell me what to do for me to get petitioned by either one of them? Can I file for abandonement? if yes, whats the first step I should do?I would be willing to have my own attorney and pay.thank you everyone in advance!

Hello, I am a U.S.C. and I have a daughter by a Jamacian Citizen who was deported last year. We have been together for 7 years prior to his deportation. He went through 2 drug proceedings, prior to the deportation hearing, and both drug charges were dismissed; however, he was convicted of Moral Perpetuted, telling a gov. agent he was a u.s. citizen, and orderd to be removed from the U.S. I am not sure if the judge said he could not return for 10yrs. or if he could not change his status for 10yrs. If the case is that he cannot change his status for 10yrs. do you think he will be allowed a visitors visa? Also, if we decide to get married can we apply for a finace' visa, or if we get married in Jamaica, do you think he will be allowed to come to the states.

He is verbally, sexually and mentally abusive. I get about 2 hours sleep some nights. Have been unable to function on my job and I am afraid of him. He has threaten to kill me or have someone do it if i leave. He says that he could never hurt me but he is hurting me now. I wish to get an annullment or divorce. He is depending on me to go to an interview for him to get permanent residency in my country. I am afraid to go to the police because he said the most they could do is lock him up for a while and then he will get out. I have until Wednesday to make a decision. Please help.

By Neil @ USA, TX  trustgodneil@yahoo.om Monday, April 28, 2008   Help Good Afternoon: I saw your information on free advice website and just wanted to ask a quick question, that is, if you have the time to answer it. I applied for my citizenship through naturalization. I got my greencard in 2004. In 2001, i got into some trouble, the case was dismissed and the conviction set aside, can this be used against me, even though i was not convicted. It was a felony charge of possession and transporting. I went for my interview and they gave a me a list of documents that i need to submit. I have submitted everything, but they keep asking me for documents pertaining to this case. They asked for the disposition, which i sent, now they are asking for the statement of charges. I heard that they can put me in removal proceedings. Is this true? Even though that incident happened before i got my greencard?

By @ fl  Monday, April 14, 2008   Petition For Alien Family Member Hello. I'm a U.S. Citizen who has an immigrant husband. He came to the U.S. legally but he has overstayed his allotted time by about 6 years. We've been married close to a year and have a 9month old son. We live together also. I recently filed a Petition for an Alien Family Member in July of 2007 and I was wonder do you think that there's a strong possibility that they will deny him seeing that he's over stayed his allotted time by more than 5 years?
