Re: green card

You said that you "hired a guy." That may be the problem right there. These "guys" are often just filling out paperwork without ANY knowledge of the law. I don't know the details of your situation but I assure you that if you invest at minimum in a consultation with an immigration attorney you will know what the legal issues are in your case which is more important than just having the forms filled. You can set up a consultation with my office if you would like.

Re: green card

If your husband entered the USA without inspection, meaning EWI, he faces a ten year bar to re-entry into the USA if you submit your application to the USA Consulate in Mexico. You must apply for a special waiver and/or see if he is eligible under s. 245(i) for adjustment of status. Please contact an Immigration Attorney in your area and/or contact my law office to schedule a consultation.
