tourist visa got arrested and ordered to appear in court

[pinoyako 0]

my 3 friends who came here(USA) last year on a tourist visa got arrested but was released same day were advised to appear again in court at the end of this month.while they were here,they applied to do masterals in a university but unfortunately,they were not accomodated.their tourist visa expired last december and in march immigration police took them.someone might have tippied them of.they are all siblings.

they will get married in good faith before the said appearance to the judge.what would be the complications in terms of their status once they apply for AOS?what are other options to resort to instead of going back to africa where life is uncertain?they are all nurses but due to the retrogression no visa is available yet.anyone who could recommend a good lawyer is a big help.thanks for all your help for these poor fellows.

They will have a hard time to AOS from tourist visa if the marriage took place after they were picked up by immigration. I would recommend the immigrate2us.net site as they deal with this kind of issue more than visa journey but I think they are heading towards being deported. Being born in Africa does not give one special treatment immigration wise unless they are from an extremely dangerous area

If I understand your post correctly, your 3 friends got "picked up" because their visas are expired and all 3 are now illegal in the US, correct? If so, then the court date is in front of an immigration judge, basically it's a deportation hearing.

And now all of your 3 friends met 3 women who are willing to marry them out of love, at the same time?

And your question is, will the immigration judge believe that story of the amazing 3, stop the deportation, and allow them to adjust status based on the fact that they by then will be married to 3 US citizens?

Did I understand that correctly?

i guess they had enough bux to pay off some idiots.

the judge will send them packing, for sure. they are done. put a fork in them.

Haha. This might be the funniest thing I've read on here in a while.

"They will get married in good faith."

Really? All three of them? At the same time?

I love how you can turn something sounding so beautiful and innocent into sounding like it's a scam.

Man, that's the craziest story I've been reading on here in a while....really makes you wonder about peoples minds.

I think the 3 friends could women who married 3 USC men, as they are all nurses.

(See OP's post:

they are all nurses but due to the retrogression no visa is available yet.anyone who could recommend a good lawyer is a big help.thanks for all your help for these poor fellows.

)

"fellows" may indicate that they are male but I think it is unusual that 3 brothers would all choose to be nurses.

That being said, I share Bob's skepticism. The fact that all of them got married would tend to indicate immigration fraud.

Well THAT was entertaining reading...Im from South Africa.. and I can ASSURE you, there is NO such thing as "special treatment"...That being said, I think Im going to call the DoS to see if theyve taken my file out of administrative processing yet.

I say - go for it...

Please re-post back on how it goes for future reference.

Thanks pal for the info.thanks too to all who shared their thoughts. concerning these poor guys(2 ladies and a brother),they're determined not to go back to africa no matter what.america has so much to offer for their future than go backhome and start from zero.i hope you all understand the scenario here ...once they're back to africa with little chance to come back here again.

the brother once joked " it is better to stay inside a prison jail in the US than to go home where there's little food and no aircondition and no good stuffs.atleast in here you eat 3 times a day with snacks and good times inside a US jail"hehehe.i agree with him.for the ladies,they prefer to work "under the table" for the meantime as house maids/nannies and earn money to send home to help their other sibblings.

hope someday,they will overcome this great trial.i will post any development regarding their present status/court appearance etc.
