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.

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 NANA @ st.kitts Answer: Hi Nana You have no rights through your daughter, unless she is over 18 years of age. At that time she can petition for you. You only have a right to a hearing in the event the INS attempts to remove/deport you. In order for you to remain in the US, you must have a lawful basis independent of your daughter. Another close relative ( like your mom) or employer may be able to petition for you.

My attorney recently filed for an expungement of my record. I'm changing jobs which I will be starting in the coming week. Do I have to tell my employer about my previous arrest being that the expungement hearing should be in about 2 weeks? Do you think that my new employer will find out about my criminal past in 2 weeks or will the process be lengthier? Answer: These are not questions of law. I cannot predict how long any background search will take. The technology now available affords very quick searches. I cannot advise you as to whether to tell your employer or not. These are personal decisions and we can only estimate the length of time for any process.

It is unlikely that airline and airport personnel would question your status. However, depending on your profile, a routine security check could lead to a deeper investigation and the revelation of your status.

I am a green card holder , 10 yr . I would like to get married to my daughters father hes in Jamaica. I would like him to visit us more often. If we do get married can he obtain a green card? He does not have a visa. Also how log do i have to wait to file citizenship? Thank you once again and keep up the good work. You are doing something special for free for us that needs advice. Answer: Hi Sabrina If you received green card holder more than 5 years ago, you are eligible for citizenship. If you obtained your green card through a citizen/husband, you need only wait three years for eligibility. If you fall in one of these categories, file for your fianc. You may marry him and file as a spouse or file as a fianc.

If, you, the petitioner missed the interview, the INS usually dismisses the petition. Without official knowledge, I could only speculate that your petition for your husband has been dismissed. You need to refile the petition.

Hi, I am just wondering if they do a background check on the american citizen who is applying for his fiance to move there with him and if he was arrested for DUI 6 years ago would that come into account in our appeal?

I have children born here but never married.INS sent papers to my brothers house asking me to turn myself in but I have children to support what should I do? By OMARI @ QUEENS NY Answer: This question requires more information and investigation. It sounds as though the INS ordered your deportation/removal and gave you time to leave. But you never left and you never appealed the decision. I believe the time to appeal has expired, however you may still have a basis to appeal depending on a review of all the circumstances.Speak with a competent attorney By Clairmont Chung @   clairmont@muzikmedia.com Monday, May 22, 2006   OVERSTAYED ON H2B, WHAT DO I DO?

A misdemeanor in federal court. I pleaded not guilty and I am waiting for a court date. The plea bargain offered by the DA is fine and 1 year probation and the case will be dismiss. Will this matter affect the removal process, should I disclose the matter to INS? thank you kindly for all your help! your advise is greatly appreciated By perterj @ idaho, us jonaliri@hotmail.com Thursday, April 20, 2006 Answer PeterJ Usually, your record is not a factor in the removal of conditional status. Your record should already be with the INS. However, any conviction is an issue and especially if you plan to travel. Several factors need to be evaluated before any professional opinion could be offered in your case: Your length of stay in the US; your criminal history, if any; and so on. You stated the plea offer is a misdemeanor in Federal Court. Misdemeanor possession cases are usually handled in state court. Federal and State Court have very different penalties. However, if its a conditional discharge, you should be OK. Seek competent counsel Good Luck By Clairmont Chung @ 744 Broad Street, 16th Fl Newark NJ 973 494 0170  clairmont@muzikmedia.com Monday, May 1, 2006   us divorce from jamaican citizen greetings mr chung my question is, am I able to file for divorce in the us if my wife is in jamaica? If so where do I start and does the same rule of laws in jamaica follow in the us. such as do I have to wait 12 months before filing for divorce? By mr c @ florida Answer You can file your divorce complaint in the US The laws require that you reside in the state where you file your complaint. The length of residence may vary from state to state. The waiting time may depend on your grounds for divorce. For example in New Jersey, if you file a no fault divorce, you must have been separated for over 18 months and have resided in the state for I year.

Hiya, my fiance is a US Citizen and he has 3 kids from another relationship in the past and he owes money in child support. I'm just wondering if this will effect our case for marraige and me being allowed to stay there? Also if he gets behind in child support, can they take it out of my money since we're married or not? Thanks for your help! By Jennifer @ Ireland Answer Hi Jennifer The number of children your fianc fathered or the amount of child support owed, should not affect your petition. You are not responsible for child support he owes unless you file taxes jointly. The IRS can take your tax refund to pay child support arrears.

He is unfortunately at this time unable to legally enter Canada due to legal situations that arised when he was living in Canada. If we get married, 1) would it be possible for me to receive a visa or permanent residency in order to live with him in the US,2)is there anything that he is required or able to do on his end in terms of the paperwork in order for me to live there legally and 3) overall since he is not a US citizen or permanent resident and only there on a visa, what would be our best bet in order to live together legally? Apparently in order for him to reenter Canada, he must wait 5-10yrs for a pardon to be approved..is there anyway to expidite his pardon process (he also has a 8 yr old child living in Canada from a previous relationship)? Your response and advice in whatever depth will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
