I need advice please!

[~*Amber*~ 4]

Hey Everyone,

I need some advice on a situation that is happening right now. My boyfriend lives in England while I reside in America. He was visiting me this summer for two weeks and I plan on going to England in April. He will then be back in July until the end of August. We have known each other since we were 14, now 26, and just started dating again a little over 6.5 months. We dated from ages 15-17 too but broke up because the distance was too much for such a young age.

I work at a job with high-risk teenage girls who are very violent. Recently, I got hurt at work due to this. I had a concussion, later post concussion syndrome, along with a cervical strain. This has caused me to be out of work for about a month and to receive workers comp.

Meanwhile, my work has decided to close because of all of the staff getting hurt. There were 5 different workers comp cases within a month because of all of the violence. The workers comp adjustor is a real piece of work and is very frustrated with all of the cases from the same place. The workers comp lady even had someone hacked my computer and found out about the visa stuff. I told no one but my parents. She even threatened me for fraud if I were to file saying I had a job. We didn’t even fill out any paper work yet so I was really freaked out that she even knew about it.

To get me off of workers comp the adjustor had my work create a job for me to do. She is pushing me to get laid off like most of the other staff though. She said that if I did not take the unemployment and severance check that she will deny my claim. I definitely do not want to be unemployed so I need some advice. It’s very hard to find a job around here and I don’t think I can live on my savings for very long.

We were plan on getting engaged when I went to visit in April 12 and then filing soon after that. I know that your not suppose to be on any government funded programs so here are my questions.

1. Is workers comp considered government funded and did it hurt our chances of being approved?

2. Will being denied my workers comp claim hurt our chances since it can be placed on my record?

3. Can the denial cause me to not be able to enter another country?

4. I am going to avoid unemployment if at all possible but if I can’t find a job right away will being on unemployment for a short time hurt our case too? Even if I find a job way before we file?

5. Should I hire a lawyer if it is going to be this complicated?

Thank you all for your help. If you have any advice at all please let me know. I wish I could go back in time a few months so none of these complications would be happening

1. Has nothing to do with immigration you have no need to worry.

2. Has nothing to do with immigration you have no need to worry.

3. Has nothing to do with traveling you have no need to worry.

4. Wont hurt the case at all has nothing to do with immigration.

5. As I see it you do not need a lawyer as none of your issues are issues!

1. No

2. No

3. No

4. No, but you might need a co-sponsor if you don't have sufficient income.

5. Note for immigration, however you might want to consider one for workers comp

You have nothing to worry about.

First of workers comp doesn't considered a federal benefit and even if it would you are a USC and elligible for that.

The only downside you have for not having a constant job and stady income, you will need a co-sponsor for your visa who makes enough to co-sponsor your fiancee. Other then that your case will be just fine.

I don't see a reason for a lawyer as I said earlier your case is pretty simple.

Good luck on your journey
