Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: legalization

He could apply for a 601 waiver in Ciudad Juarez. You must file a petition for him first.

Re: legalization

The thing is that there is a big risk for him because he will have to go to Ciudad Juarez for an interview. at the interview, he'll need to provide a request for waiver. those are not easy to win. It might be a wise strategy to go ahead and start a case, and see what happens with the Obama administration with respect to potentially authorizing people in your husband's situation to acquire permanent ressident status here in the United States. Feel free to contact our office for an appointment. the initial consultation fee is just $80.

Re: legalization

Yes, it's possible that you can.

The process itself would depend on how he entered the country (legally with a visa or illegally without).

Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter in greater detail.

Re: legalization

Yes you can legalize him, if you are in San Diego or Orange County you should contact us about your case

Re: legalization

Marriage between the two of you or one of the children turning 21, and filing on his behalf, will be necessary. Whether he could for interview within the U.S. or must be interviewed abroad depends on whether there was filed, before 4/30/01, an immigrant petition or labor certification on his behalf. If he has to leave, then a waiver would be necessary but they're not always given - sometimes yes and sometimes no. Other than these options, I would question him about his parents and grandparents' birth places and residences, if any, in the U.S. If all else failed then waiting for immigration reform legislation would have to do, but I don't expect that until 2010 for starters and even then, comprehensive immigration reforms won't take place right away and that could take some years.

For more detailed information, write to me at [email protected] or check me out at http://www.yardum-hunter.com. I have much high level experience with an extremely high success rate. I don't expose clients to risk without them knowingly doing that. Most clients choose to not take risks unless I recommend them. I could advise you similarly.
