Q. Applying for H4 visa after two B2 visa rejections. What is the chance of H4 visa rejection?

30 May 2019

A: A B2 visa rejection would not normally affect the H4 eligibility, but it depends why the B2 was rejected. If you're concerned, I would recommend that your wife speak to an attorney in person before applying, just to make sure there aren't any issues that would prevent her from qualifying.

Q. My husband is planning on sponsoring his father and stepmom from Venezuela. What financial liability do I incur?

22 May 2019

A: You can look up Form I-864 Affidavit of Support and read the instructions to find out what it means to become the financial sponsor for an intending immigrant. Basically it is a contract with the government stating that you can support the immigrant and will not allow them to become a "public charge" (like go on welfare or food stamps, for example). As for the money you may have coming in a few years, you should speak to a wills and estates attorney in your area. There are probably ways for you to protect this money but that will depend on state law where you live.

A: Here you can check the processing times based on which USCIS office is handling your case. You should be able to find that info on the Receipt Notice: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do With your I-130 Receipt Number you can check your Case Status here: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do
