Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida
Immigration and divorce
My husband and I are Mexican and have been living in the US for the past 4 years under an L1 and L2 visas. Those visas will expire in a few months and his employer wants to file a petition for a permanent residency for us and our children, or if the time comes, to file to renew our visas and then make the petition for the residency. My husband and I are separated and are planing for a divorce. Will this affect the petition? What should we do in order to not have problems with our immigration status?

Re: Immigration and divorce
Your husband should be currently eligible to begin adjusting his status to permanent resident. You can be included on this document as long as the two of you are married. If you divorce, then you will need to find another way of qualifying on your own.
Please contact me if you have additional questions.

Are both you and your husband currently working for this employer, or is it just your husband? Contact me at (212) 618-1830 to discuss this further.
