    It's illegal for him to work in ANY capacity from the U.S as a visitor, INCLUDING remotely. Period.

    It's difficult to answer your questions when you're not giving us any real details. How did he get to the U.S.? (a visa, did he enter illegally) Where are his parents? How old is he? I suggest you have him set up an account here so we can understand what he's actually looking for.

    No one here can tell you if you'll get an expedite, but as others said, it's free to try. Pretty sure even if it's approved, two months is cutting it close.

    We can't give you an answer unless you tell us the visa category.

    Won't hurt to try.
  6. Cathi
    The simple answer is no. And no one can tell you how long AP will last.

    No one is judging you and no one is telling you what you should have done, people are merely telling you the facts. You came here asking for help, we're doing our best to do so. No need to get angry at people who are giving you very good advice.

    But they weren't in 2021.

    Green cards are for LIVING is the U.S. Period. End of story. No one here is going to advise you how to game the system.

    It depends on why she was denied. If it was because she didn't have enough ties to her home country, there shouldn't be a problem. If she lied (misrepresentation) on any of the applications, yes, she could absolutely be denied. Just because someone else filled the forms for her, does NOT mean she isn't responsible for any falsehoods on the applications as she signed them. Without knowing the reason/reasons for her denials, no one can give you an answer without it being pure speculation. The only way to find out for sure why she was denied is to file FOIA.

    Yes, because a green card is for living in the U.S. She must spend the majority of her time living in the U.S

    It's an i-130. She petitions her mother while her mom is in Mexico. When, and only when the visa is approved, she travels to the U.S. The mother cannot use her visitor visa to travel to the U.S with the INTENT to adjust status, that's visa fraud and will result in a permanent ban from the US for the mother. Intent to immigrate has already been established at this point.

    I'd fire the lawyer and finish on my own. Very often lawyers cause delays, not worth the money unless you have a complicated case. This is the DIY site, the majority of us have done everything on our own. I did everything from submitting the petition, up to and including naturalization for my husband. We had several so called "red flags" and we never even had an RFE at any stage in the process. As long as you read the forms thoroughly and pay attention to detail, you can absolutely do it on your own. If you have question just come here and ask away, there are many, many people in this forum that I would trust far more than any immigration attorney.

    You put what it says on his birth certificate.

    OP, please don't even attempt this. I know this person isn't being serious, but a lot of people don't. It will be a disaster for your MIL(and wife) if she tries to enter the U.S with the intent to adjust status.
  17. Cathi
    Entering the U.S using a visitor visa(B1/B2) with the INTENT to STAY and ADJUST STATUS is illegal. It's visa fraud and will result in a permanent ban from the U.S for your mother in-law. Anyone advising you otherwise is misinformed. Don't do it.
  18. Cathi
    Depends on your immigration status and also, unemployment laws and unemployment insurance vary from state to state.

    I agree with everyone else, FOIA. Either way, NOT a DIY case, it's far more than knowing how to "fill out paperwork". Best of luck and keep us updated. Most people never come back to update us and I would genuinely like to know the outcome of your case.

    You don't need one from your birth country if you moved before you turned 16. You need pcc's for any and all countries you've lived in for SIX months or more after the age of 16, not twelve months. Good luck on your journey.

    Yikes, this is why you needed to read the actual instructions. At the top of the page click on Guides, all the information you need to know is there. Any further questions, please ask here on Visa Journey instead of listening to the advice from others who don't know what they're talking about. That was a costly mistake.

    An I-130 is a petition for a spouse visa (CR1), not for a green card. The green card isn't given until after the beneficiary enters the U.S with his CR1 visa.
  23. Cathi
    Just out of curiosity: did you not know that you had to stay unmarried? Don't listen to anyone who says that you still have a chance to get this visa, there is a 0% chance that you will receive it. There is no work around by excluding your spouse, married is married. Period. End of story. I agree with @Boiler even divorce will not save it, the moment you married the visa was dead in the water.
  24. Cathi
    If I were you, I would file ASAP. Why take the chance of being out if status and getting caught? @Crazy Cat gave you a good example of what can happen if you wait. Definitely not a chance that I would ever be willing to take. Congrats on your marriage and good luck on your journey.

    There were no restrictions here in NH, there were at 8 of us who went to my husband's ceremony. There was limited seating though and many guests had to stand. I would check with your local office.
