Q. Can a person with severe gout request for expedite for a fiance visa because it’s getting worst now ?

December 28, 2024

A: A request to expedite an immigration interview can be granted if a doctors report is provided which recommends why an expedited review should be granted. Each request is decided on a case by case basis.

Q. Came in US illegal, detained CBP and seek asylum as gay men but now in love with a women who is a citizen and marry.

December 11, 2024

A: So an immigrant who has been inspected to at the border and filed a proper timely asylum claim can marry a US citizen and be sponsored for a marriage base green card case. However, because you have indicated that your ground of Asylum is based upon the fact that you are gay man and your country will persecute you if you return -BUT you are now going to marry a lady, this may conflict with the intention that may raise red flags for both cases. You should proceed to hire an immigration attorney to process and handle the marriage base green card case for you. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee to represent the couple from start to finish.

Q. I live in Utah and I want to know if you could take my case for marriage documentation. because you're in other state.

December 10, 2024

A: Yes, any immigration lawyer in any state can represent a client in any other state or in any other country on the planet. This is the nature of immigration law. If you entered the United States with permission, which it looks like you did, and you are getting married to a US citizen, then you can file to adjust your status to get a green card. This is even true if you are now out of status. This website precludes us from soliciting cases, but you can research our backgrounds and reach out to one of us privately. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee to handle these types of cases from start to finish.
