how did his wife and kids get here? Spousal visa or tourist visa?

They went through the spousal visa process. He was here for about 4 or 5 years before they came.

Thank you so much everyone.

I told him that he is going to need a lawyer badly.

He just made a mistake getting married when they told him not to I don't know really if he understood or he got too excited or what. He did an F2 visa to get his wife and children here after he was already here for a few years and she is permanent resident but that really might not mean anything since he was technically admitted with and invalid visa.

I am hitting the forums and everything for him because his english still isn't very good but he is still a dear friend of ours and I would hate to see everything he has done over the years here just get washed away. Going to be calling more attorneys for him today.

All,

My friend just received an I-862 Notice to Appear for removal proceedings.

He is from Vietnam and received an F11 visa (unmarried son of a U.S. citizen)

On 10/01/2010 they told him that he would no longer be eligible for the visa if he got married before he entered the U.S.

He got married on 11/01/2010

He entered the US on 11/21/2010

They are saying that his F11 visa was invalid due to his changed marital status and that there were no F31 visas available at that time.

Is there any hope for him? He has since brought his wife and children here. As well as having a daughter born in the US. The lawyer we talked to wanted 15k.

He is a good man and his family desperately needs help.

Thank you.
