My story is unique because I am here in the US and he is still in Jamaica. So we've been apart for the duration of our entire relationship. Initially we were very much in love and I was in the process of petitioning to bring him here into the states, but the marriage went sour, so I didn't file anything with immagration and now we both want to divorce. I never changed my name over to his, we had no children and no financial ties to each other, so I would assume that here in New Jersey the marriage was not valid. My question is how would I go about dissolving the marriage in Jamaica, since technically it would only be valid in Jamaica? Can you please help me?

By @ US, NEW YORK  gale31@verizon.net Thursday, August 17, 2006   How do I help my friend come to the US. Question: I have a friend in Jamaica and I wanted to know how I can go about getting her up here. Her brother is up here on a H2b visa but he had joined a program. Is there anything that I can do? Answer: A non immigrant visa only requires you send a letter of invitation to your friend. Your friend then needs to show the consulate in JA she is a bona fide visitor and plan to return home. Her brother may be able to help as another reason for your friend to visit. But you or he can do very little regarding a permanent visa. You did not say much about yourself. But if you are male, and a citizen, marriage could help your friend. Good Luck By Clairmont Chung @   Thursday, August 17, 2006   Where do I find an expunged record ? Question: My question deals with IMBRA, I was previously approved and they have recalled my case because I filed after March 6, 2006. On the form it says they want certified court records for any arrests. I was acquitted and my case was expunged, however Immigrations says they want this information anyways. I went to district court and ask them for certified records and they can't give me the records because it was expunged. The only paperwork I have is the court trial summary that I was acquitted and the police department saying that they have complied with the expungements. What do I send back to immigration with the RFE and on the form it says domestic violence, but on the trial summary it was second degree assault. Please help. Answer: Tim: Go to the Court and ask for the Order of Expungement. A judge usually issues an Order to expunge a record. The Court should have a copy of the Order signed by the Judge. If an attorney represented you, he or she should have a copy of the Order. Good Luck.

By Ana @ cayman Island  sihfoy@yahoo.com Thursday, August 17, 2006   Keeping maiden name on citizenship paper Question: I got married before becoming a citizen. I am now a citizen but kept my maiden name on the citizenship paper (my status is married on the paper). I want to apply for my husband because he is here on a student visa. Does the fact that my citizenship paper has my maiden name cause a problem? By Shirley @ USA, New Jersey Answer: Hi Shirley You may keep your maiden name without any problem. The INS is mainly concerned with your citizenship and whether the marriage is bona fide. Good Luck By Clairmont Chung @   Thursday, August 17, 2006   Can the Govt. Monitor a citizen? Question: Is it legal for INS to continue to monitor a person after US Citizenship has been applied for and granted? Monitoring that includes phone recordings, GPS units applied to cars etc? ANSWER: The Govt. needs a warrant to enter your home and tap your phone. However, it has been known to break the law and nothing prevents it from monitoring you. However, I doubt they are engaged in following individuals without some very good reason. Generally they target people who they believe committed a crime or are about to commit a crime. Nothing is wrong with a little paranoia but be careful.

If your brother is under twenty one years of age and single, he should have a visa available very soon. So do not do anything silly and spoil his long term chances. He should seek an extension or leave as agreed. Sorry about the delay in answering. By Clairmont Chung @   Monday, July 31, 2006   Does a British Passport help. Question My fiance/caymanian citizen had a charge against him in 1996. He paid a 500 fine. The charge shows to be waiverable but he was denied a USA visa due to section A. When we reapplied, he was denied due to section B, not strong ties to his home country. He also carries a British passprot and hence would not need a US visa. The visa was only needed as a waiver due to the old charge. Do you think he will be able to travel to the US on his British passport without any problems? By Denise @ Grand Cayman Cayman Islands Answer: crucialsubjects@yahoo.com Entry is never guaranteed, even for green card holders. Its worth it to try with the British passport but nothing is guaranteed. You never said where the offenses occurred. If in the US, his chances of entry are significantly reduced.

He would return back to Jamaica but before I start any paperwork I wanted to know where I could get more information on the visiting visa. By Row @ USA, TX Answer: You need to send your friend a letter of invitation. Describe your relationship and why the visit is so important. Your friend then takes the letter to the consulate in Kingston. Thats it.

By Dwight McCaulsky @ USA, NJ. Answer: Normally you apply in March of the year in question (2007), I would apply before the expiration of the practical training. in fact get an extension of the practical training so as to remain in status. If you loose status you loose, period.

I came to this country under another individual's passport when I was 3 1/2 years old. I am now a 19 year old high school graduate. I plan on attending a school which has a high job placement rate at the end of their 13 month course. Is there any type of accelerated process that would aid me in getting my papers quick? My mother was thinking about marrying me to a citizen but thats highly illegal and i dont want to do that. By Kevin @ Brooklyn, New York k_shiznit@yahoo.com Friday, June 30, 2006 Answer: No Kevin, unfortunately no accelerated program exists for people in your position. I gather your mom is not in a position to petition for you. You can explore a student visa. A bogus marriage can lead to more complications. Good Luck By Clairmont Chung @   Clairmont@muzikmedia Monday, July 24, 2006   Follow up Thank you sir for the response. Can you explain to me the part when you wrote that it will be an embarrassment should I decide to travel abroad. Are they going to look at the record--by the way, it has been expunged since February 2006--and detain me bec. of this record? why would they do this? and who will make the arrest granting I did not do anything wrong at that time? I plan to travel to the Phil. and Thailand by the end of the year. I would very much appreciate your response. Thanks.. By jasmine @ tx Answer: Embarrassment is the detention in the event there is something on your record. Many states do not offer expungment. The FBI and Immigration may have access to files believed to be expunged. This could result in detention and embarrassment. Double check with the authorities that charges have been expunged By Clairmont Chung @   Friday, July 21, 2006   H 1 Visa Petition MR.

If he is convicted he will have to pay a fee. I overstayed my VISA can he still file for me when were're married? By Flurtbug @ NY, USA Flurtbug7@aol.com Thursday, June 29, 2006 Answer: Flurtbug????? Anyone can file a petition. A petition should not be denied because of the record of the petitioner. However, you, the beneficiary, should have a clean record. If your boyfriend is a citizen and you entered the country legally, there should be no problem. Good Luck By Clairmont Chung @   Wednesday, July 19, 2006   convictions and citizenship Question: I applied for US citizenship and got interviewed by an immigration officer last May 3rd but was denied citizenship because I was arrested for assault on a family member. This charge was eventually reduced to class c and was expunged. I even had to attend family violence classes beforet hey could get this case dismissed. With all this immigration issue going on, is my status as a green card holder in trouble because of the arrest which was eventually expunged? I was never on probation by the way. When can I reapply for citizenship and what is the guarantee they will be approved granting there have been no more arrests made? My husband was naturalized May 15th 2006 as a US citizen. I am quite bothered by this issue and fearful of my present status bec . of the arrest. By jasmine @ TX, USA Answer: Jasmine, nothing is guaranteed. Citizenship is discretionary. The officer making the decision relies on her experience, the law and instincts in granting you citizenship. If you reapply and encounter the same problem, you may have to file an appeal and ultimately take the issue to Court and have a Judge decide. However, your conviction will remain a problem and even though it does not appear serious enough to result in your removal/deportation, it can result in the embarrassment of detention if you travel abroad. I do not have all the facts of your situation and can only make general points. This is not intended as legal advice. By Clairmont M.

Question: Greetings Mr chung: keep on assisting us the way you are doing. However, I live in Connecticut for the past seven years. is it true when I complete my RN course I can obtain my papers because its a shortage in the nursing sector. And they will give me my papers. I over stayed. By k. Smart @ USA. Ct Answer: Hi K. I believe your questions refer to an employment petition. An employer may sponsor certain qualified persons in areas where certain skills are in short supply. For example, a hospital may petition on your behalf. First you need to complete your course of study and , then, find a hospital or other institution willing to file the petition. Good Luck By Clairmont Chung @   clairmont@muzikmedia.com Tuesday, June 27, 2006   How long do I have to wait? Question: What are my chances!! Hi Mr. Chung, I have over stayed five years in this country. I have a child since living here, what are the chances for folks like myself. I work, pay my taxes, I came here legally. With this new law coming what can I do to become legal as far as this new law is stating? My husband's mom has gotten her green card five years ago. She is petitioning for him, how long will this process take for him to get his papers and should he go back home to receive them? By Akibba Adu @ USA Answer: Hi Akibba I cant comment on a law that remains in debate. In fact, there is no new law. Your husbands mother needs to become a citizen before she petitions for him. As a married child of a citizen, your husbands may have to wait as five years or longer depending on his country of nationality. An unmarried child becomes eligible sooner. You may be able to adjust along with your husband through his mothers petition. But no one knows how long any petiition takes.
