I need some advice

[stich3187 2]

Hi I am applying for my husband we live in chicago he arrived when he was just 9 years old I have just received my nvc case number and today I went to the immigration adviser that is helping us out she said that since my husband did not work last year and therefore did not fie taxes he must say that he did in fact work when he did not and get my taxes adjusted to say that he at least made 13k last year. She said she just had a case that was denied when he showed up to his appointment in Mexico because they told him that since he was not contributing financially before and that the wife was able to support the family that there was no need for him to obtain his residence. Does this sound right. So we have to lie and say that he was working and contributing when he was not. I dont want to lie from what I heard it will be really bad if I lie

Oh wow. I'm not sure your advisor should be advising. The consequences of lieing on an immigration application would not be good. Hopefully you're not paying her to mislead you in to troublen. You need to follow your gutt.

Sounds like she is also advising you incorrectly about his not becoming a legal resident. Wow

never EVER lie to immigration. Something like this is material misrepresentation and could lead to a lifetime ban. Instead, get a joint sponsor and do things the legal way

His brother is going to sponsor him I only made 18k this year and is not enough for a family of 3 so his brother will be sponsoring him. Oh and my mother in law brought him here when he was little and the advisor told us to lie and say that my husband late uncle brought him to the border to have him crossed illegally because my mother-in-law will be adjusting her status soon and that it will affet her by saying that she crossed her under age son across the border.

I think im just going to go to a lawyer instead of the person that is helping me

That is a very good plan. Then you should report that woman on every blog site you can. Your case really does need legal representation but be careful. I had free consults with three attys and read immigration bools to understand the process before I started. By the time I went to all three attys I had a pretty good understanding of where I needed to go and which atty's information was most solid....you can tell because some of them tell you bs like the woman advising you. They are shadey and will unfortunately lead alot of.people down some very dangerous paths just to get the money....some of them have no morals. Take your time and shop around so you dont get tricked again. Shes told you to lie so many times. You're smart for gettting away from her.

OMG what??????????????? This is a immigration ad visor or lawyer? Cuz they are either high or vapidly stupid. OMG

Your husband having a job or not is of no matter. It's the US citizen (or LPR) that is sponsoring and has to show on the affidavit of support, I-864... please read the NVC Process WIKI http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

When you say he arrived when he was 9 years old. Is he here legally or parents brought him here and he is illegal now? Does he have a Social security number? Will he need a waiver ?

Never lie to immigration. Are you kidding? I guess that advisor doesn;t want people to ever come to the US. I am just stunned.

Sweet Lord really. For mom to lie to adjust her status. But if she came here illegally what is she adjusting from? Sorry I am nosey.

Your husband may have other issues and may need a waiver which is a situation for a lawyer not miss misguided information advisor. OMG

Is there anyone you can report this woman to? Other people may have just taken her word and may in the future find themselves back on a plane to their origin country with a ban from returning thrown in for good measure.

Yes he is still illegal and his parents are still both illegal he does need a waiver thats y the advisor was going to help us the the waiver package and makeing the letter for us. My husband does not have a ssn. His parents will be soon processing the petitions through my father in law son that is in the US Army. And the advisor said to say that he was brought here by his late uncle so that it will not affect the mother's petition

Thank you all so much for your support and I feel like I dont even need any advisor to handle his case its very simple to just fill out the application and send the documents that they request. But since he needs a waiver I was hoping I could get help with that since they seem to have more experience with that the waiver needed to consist of im just going to have a lawyer help me with the waiver. Even if they charge me more.

Doesn't your husband qualify for DACA (Dream ACT)?

For any kind of waiver I would suggest going to immigrate2us.net and also looking in the waiver forum here on VJ. Many in the boat with you.

That advisor bothers me makes me wonder would she also come up with lies for hardship waiver. Scary stuff.

I've met and worked with a lawyer in Evanston. Message me if you want the info. She has experiences with waivers and is a solid immigration attorney. I had a consult with her before starting the whole process, but felt that ultimately, I could handle the immigration/waiver process myself since I have a strong background in research and writing. Even so, I found that her consult was important to my process. Let me know.

[stich3187 2]

DACA is just a temporary thing I had I decided to just go for the residency since the laws changed last year that allows him to apply for the waiver before leaving for the interview in Mexico
