Hi BataraImmigrationLaw, Thanks for awesome videos. My friend - a lady 1st came to the US 7-year ago under K1. However, at that time her husband-to-be (betrothed) denied to get married with her cause he had another woman. She stayed in his house, together with his parents for 3 months. She hoped that he would change his mind but he didn't. She came back to Vietnam after that. Currently, she got married to a US citizen. Her current husband sponsored her as CR1 (for spouses). They have 2 children and she is waiting for her permanent Green Card. But USCIS just sent her a mail asking for the divorce degree of her and her 'husband-to-be' in the past. She was shocked because they never got married. How can she prove that to USCIS? Thanks a lot.

Sir how are you? Thank you for sharing your knodledge with us... Im 28 years old and am a legal permanent resident for almost 13 years(green card)...

I have a daughter and a babymomma that 4 years ago she accused me of domestic violence and i was took to jail and i bail myself out the next day. I showed up to court few days after and i heard judge saying that hes dropping my charges because there was no evedince of violence. But everytime i travel to a different country and i get back to the US... US immigration officer send me to the second check up overview(you know the little waiting room they called) and they always asking me about this incident(domestic violence) ... My question is : how can i find out why i still got that on my record? Is it gonna effect me if i want to be become a US citizen?if it possible for me to petition my wife even if am permanent resident? How long its gonna take? And if its faster to petition my wife if am a US citizen or a permanent resident? And how long would of take me? Please ill really aprecciated if you can give me an answer for my questions. Ps: i was never legally married with the mother of my child. Thank you and God bless you

So I am an Egyptian Muslim on paper and my boyfriend is a Christian Egyptian but has had the US citizenship since he was a kid. We are both agnostic in reality and we've been together for three years. Thinking to get civil marriage in Cyprus since it is the closest where we can do that. Does that apply? And is it better to apply for permenant residency after 2 years of marriage? How do we prove that we are living together throughout those two years? And does he have to stay in the US with me 18 mnths out of 3 years for me to be eligible for citizenship? I know that's a lot of questions, but I think it is a specific case and I am eager to read your opinion. Much respect and appreciatio. Thanks!

prior to marriage i suggest to consult with an immigration lawyer as the first consultation is always free, my mom's sister suggested i make an appointment with popkin, shamir and golan in los angeles as we were living in glendale then but they were expensive so i shopped around, anyhow lawyers accept momthly payments and will give you tips and suggestions like a photo album which is not necessary but will help your case and cards or letters received or sent over time.

I'm 22 and im in a long distance relationship with a US Citizen while I reside in Canada! Customs denied my entry to visit him for 4 months and wont allow me to visit the states unless i provide them with ridiculous amount of documents that i cant provide until at least 4 months into the future. we decided to get married and we love each other very much and just want a normal relationship where we can live together in his town, but after my traumatic experience with customs flagging me im so paranoid they will deny our petition for marriage based green card. i keep telling myself it will be okay because our relationship is real and its not a sham but its so difficult to reassure myself when im convinced the government is out to get me for no reason. we are unable to live together or have joint bank accounts because we are in a long distance relationship & im afraid of what a good response is if during the interview they ask how we decided to get married! is "so that we can live in the states together" a sketchy answer??

Is it true that even though your American spouse withdrew the affidavit of support before the conditional green card, the immigrant spouse would still get a conditional green card because the marriage wasn’t fraudulent? It’s one sided but not fraud and now it’s denied. Will immigrant spouse be able to receive conditional green card??

Hi where you law office is located in California???

hi, sir, I m green card holder and I want to bring my fiance ( i have been here in the USA for 4 years) thank you

What if it is real but they think it’s fake? What if you get nervous easily that can cause complications. I get nervous allot and stumble and stutter.

Thank you so much. I’m getting married soon. The only concern I have is that my fiancée is in a master’s program and works 10 hrs a week most. I, a DACA recipient, pay all the bills while she is in school. I have no criminal record and I work in a lab for a big company. Our concern is that because my fiancée isn’t working much, they may decline my application. Has anyone been in this situation before?

I didn't have money for a lawyer, but it would have been good to check with an immigration lawyer first, perhaps, because the lawyer, like you would have been able to see things I couldn't see because I was being manipulated. Green card marriage all the way. Also, he/she would have said exactly what we needed to do, then we wouldn't have been told the incorrect thing to do. My biggest regret now. You seem like an honest lawyer, no natter that you deal strictly with immigration. He's also used the VAWA against for the abuse he committed. Will this change your response to me? I hope it doesn't.

Thanks for sharing this, I have a question can I process myself with the green card,I’m legally marriage but my husband hasn’t do anything with my green card been 4years marriage now that’s why I’m gonna do it myself.

What happen if you married on a tourist visa and your husband wouldn't sponsour you?

My name is Liberty; I have just married a US Citizen who is in the military serving in Germany. (we both live in Germany now) I am an international Master student studying in Germany. We met here in Germany, fell in love with each other, and got married this month (August 2020) after a period of one year and a few months. I have entered the states twice for the purpose of tourism and sightseeing before I met my wife in Germany. Presently my B1/B2 visa is still valid until February 2021. I will be completing my Ms. Program in March 2021 and my wife is expecting to be reenlisted in 2021. However, we would like to start the process of adjusting my B1/B2 status and I would like an overview of the steps to take until the very final step. I would be glad to be aware of every single detail beforehand and the best steps to follow so that we can both move together when she moves to her next duty post.

Very useful information

Mr. Batara, I am an American citizen living in China with my Chinese spouse. We have one child (age 2) together, who has received his U.S. passport already and we have a daughter (age 9) from my wife's first marriage. We have been together since around September, 2016 and married September, 2018. We have decided to move back to the U.S.A. for a number of reasons, one of which is the health of my elderly parents. Because of income issues and in an effort to avoid a separation from myself and the family, my brother has agreed to sponsor my family to go to the U.S.A. His income well exceeds the required $33,125 four a four person household. I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer for me. First, because we wouldn't live in the same household, would he be the sole sponsor or a co-sponsor with myself? Second, if he is the sole sponsor, should he or I fill out the Form I-130?

Thank you How can I reach you to discuss my case?

Been married two years to my wife, been together for 6years. Living in the states now, went to school, now I have a good job. Its very nice living here, there are a lot of opportunities if you have ambition. I've heard people saying all kinds of crazy stuff, pertaining to getting there papers. Listen I don't care where we are, as long as I'm with her. Most of you worried because you are not legitimately in love with your spouse. If you are then why are you so concerned about being denied. Be truthful, and walk straight. I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about if you straight

Hello, If I marry someone on a J-1 Visa and has the no objection statement from their embassy, if our I-130 and I-485 case is still processing by the time his J-1 Visa expires, will he need to return to his country? Or is there an amnesty period or will we need to apply for another visa so that he will be able to legally stay with me while we wait for the paperwork to be processed?

Am I allowed to go to school while I wait for my work permit and travel document? My lawyer said if the school allows it I can, but i'm still not sure. I took some classes at a college here on a TN visa, which is now expired. I've gotten married since and filled for my family-sponsored greencard, and i'm waiting on my work document and travel document now. I just wanted to know if me taking classes at a college will be a problem. Does immigration know if I'm in school? Since I did have to give the school my social security number and old TN visa before it had expired. Thanks in advance

Are you in California?
