Legal Answers
- Q. my fiancee is a permanent res. but he is in jail and they have him on an immigration hold, why?
- A: It could be a criminal hold if he was arrested. You need more information - contact ICE or an immigration attorney.
- Q. Being an immigrant trying to get certified to be a Citizen how long is the process?What are all the main steps?
- A: If you are talking about applying for naturalization, it can take anywhere between 4 months to 1 year depends on your jurisdiction. In Kansas City, it's generally pretty fast. However, it depends on the background checks and security clearance. You can file the N-400 on your own, or you could contact an attorney to do it for you. Good luck.
- Q. What should do I do to avoid any circumstances for two traffic tickets in my next appearance in the court?
- A: Generally speaking, not knowing the law is not a defense. You should seek a traffic attorney if you don't know what to say in Court. I will also seek the advice of an immigration attorney to fix your F-1 Out of Status as soon as you can. It is not a good idea to drive without a driver's license.
