- Q. I was refused a student visa. I am now applying for a fiance visa. How do I explain the rejection without suspicion?
- A: Tell the truth. If you still have anxiety and concerns, then hire a competent immigration attorney to provide advice and instruction. Good luck.
- Q. In 1999 I was 17 years old, I was convicted and tried as an adult for delivery of cocaine, possession of cocaine and res
- A: More information is needed. However, there is a sense of reckoning that must take place before any further action can be taken, if any.
There also seems like a misunderstanding of the definitions of a deportable offense and the enduring nature of the bars for what can be considered drug trafficking.
I strongly recommend a paid zoom appointment, so that you can actually be open to understand the situation. Otherwise, it seems like you can become a bigger victim.
The above is general information, not the legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
- Q. What requirements can I provide to apply for N-600 without my parent's certificate?
- A: You will likely need the information from her certificate. Can she photocopy it for you? If not, then you can have trouble proving that you are a derivative citizen. Once she is gone, if the certificate is lost, you have little to no proof that you derived citizenship. Also, you may remain indefinitely disqualified from naturalization. Nevertheless, there may be other issues that can complicate the process, as well, so it remains unclear whether you derived citizenship.
As a result, I strongly recommend a intense review of the evidence and facts with a competent and experienced immigration attorney.
