US Immigration from Brazil

Hello everyone!

I've been struggling in deciding between k1 and cr1, most of the comments are saying that cr1 is the best option. My problem is that to start cr1 process i have to marry my american boyfriend and his mom only allows him to marry me after meeting me, she also thinks the baby isn't his, we will do paternity test in November. I'm brazilian and I'm pregnant, my boyfriend's mom will be coming with him next year to visit me when the baby born, we decided to have the baby here in Brazil.

All i want is to be with him as a family, since we're having a baby together, I'm scared of taking too long to be together as a family, is important for my boyfriend and the baby to have a connection and having to take care of the baby all by myself would probably be tiring as well. I saw that both process are kinda equal in terms of time. My question is, should i apply now for K1 or wait till next year to marry and apply for cr1?

Hello,

Here is my situation:

I came to US(Nov 2022) with J1 for Au Pair. I Au Pair'd until September when the orginzation terminated me early for not having a host family. They told me to leave the US as i will be out of status. The thing is, I am in a very serious relationship with my boyfriend of 7 months. We have been speaking about marriage and want to get married within the next 2 months now.

My questions:

Is it ok to be out of status from early termination with J1 visa, and then getting married a couple months of unlawful presence?

Any other info or advice would be great.

my BF is a US citizen, we have been dating 7 months, marriage is something we want, so i dont want to go back to my home country. No, i dont have a 2 year requirment or anything.

Hello everyone! I hope this message finds everyone well. Little background info: My wife and I (both US citizens) are looking to file for green card for her parents. They currently have tourist visas and are here in the US visiting us for a month and their current tourist visas are good for another 3 plus years. Our question is:

1) Should i wait for them to return to Brasil then file the form I-130?

2) Once i file for their Green card, Can tell travel back and forth to the USA with their tourist visa without impaction our petition for their green card? I seen somewhere that if one is currently waiting for one's petition to be approved, they cant leave their country before they have a decision on their case because it would be considered "abandoning the case"...... (this is the main/most important question for us)

3) Do i file a form i-130 for each of her parents or can i do them all together? Or which is better/safer?

Thank you for your time!

Hello, everyone! My friend came to the USA with her husband and two kids. Her husband is an engineer and came with a work visa from Mexico, but now he is thinking he may lose this job and will have to go back to Mexico. The problem is that she just got a job as an ESL teacher at the school district, and she does not want to go back to Mexico yet. Is there a way for her to get a work visa for herself and stay in the country? How does that work?

I asked my CPA, the following question, but he wasn't 100 % sure . My fiance arrived 8/22 and we go married in 10/22. We filed the I-485 in 11/22. On my 2022 tax return, I filed "married filing separately". Im a little concerned that the IRS may look for a tax return on my spouse, and of course there isn't one since we are STILL waiting on his work authorization. I hope this doesn't affect the AOS. Just being cautious
