Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Regidtration law

My visa I-94 expires in 10 days and I am plannig to marry a US citizen in 1 month. Does the new registration law create problems for me during the 3 weeks that my visa has expired or there will be no problems for me after I get married? I have to the INS for the registeration already. Thank you for answering my question...

Are you from Iran, sir? Are you talking about registering to INS based on that? Call me and I can set up the case for you.

Not everybody is required to register. Registration is a requirement for nationals from certain countries, such as Syria, Iran, Morocco, etc. You should hire an attorney to assist you with your immigration matters. You may contact me to set up a consultation at

Re: Registration law

If you are the same person who previously consulted with me about a possible case, then I know something of your situation. Since you're required to register with the INS, it's possible that they will be alerted to your shortly expiring I-94 and will follow up to see if you have left the U.S. or not. If you haven't, they might put you into removal (deportation) proceedings. The key word is "might", as no one knows exactly for sure how tight the INS is checking on men from those countries that have to register. In any event, in removal proceedings, to take advantage of the marriage to the US citizen, you have to get the immigration judge to decide and hear the case, and that will drive up your legal costs as most attorneys charge a lot more when the matter is in court. I can represent you in court (as I'm there almost every day), but it's better for you to get married and file for adjustment with the INS soon so that you don't get put into court proceedings.
