How do I chose my immigration lawyer, and how to avoid being ripped off ?
Hi, Here is the case : I am an international student F1 Visa and my wife is an US Citizen. My record is currently terminated for low attendance. I was in an english school ( F1 Factory ) waiting for the next fall admission for college. It have been a week that it''s terminated. I''d like to apply for a change of status and get the green card to avoid all the hassles that come with a Student Visa . In order to do that, I think that it would be better to hire a lawyer to take care of everything, but finding a good one, at an affordable price, seems to be a little hard. I''m posting here to get some advices, and some recommendations ( maybe ) for an Immigration Lawyer in Miami Area. Also, since I gave above all the details about my case, it would be really nice to know how much a lawyer would charge for that kind of case ( everything included ). I highly appreciate your answers. Thanks
What kind of visa do i need to apply for as a spouse from Germany and could it get denied because i
Last time i visited my husband and I got married. Then i came back 2 months later to visit him because i had 2 weeks off from school. My husband and I did not want to be separated again, so we decided that i would stay with him in the U.S.. We met in Germany but did not want to start dating after his deployment that he returned from in May 2011. He has orders to Korea in October 2011 for a dual tour (with the spouse). What visa do i have to apply for? How long would this visa process take us? Can I still go to Korea with him? Can I get in trouble because I overstayed my visitors time? Thank you for your time
