From what I understand you want your future husband to live in Canada. Now I am not an expert on Canadian immigration law, therefore I cannot tell you anything about it. But you are mixing up apples and oranges in your posting, so I want to try to clear up some confusion: The law of...

where were you born, when, and is the American your mother married your biological father? Which citizenship do you hold now?

As I have written probably a thousand times here, aliens with criminal records cannot be admitted to the U.S. unless they fall within an exception. The exception in your case might be this: you have only one prior conviction for a crime of moral turpitude (which theft is) the conviction was...

as the wife of an American citizen you will be allowed to go to college or to work. To live in the states you would need to obtain an immigration visa (commonly called green card). There are basically three different ways to obtain that, which I have explained here pretty often. The basic...

Yes, you should do what your lawyer says. The USCIS does not like at all when people lie on their applications, so you better put a "yes" there. Be prepared to explain the disposition of the case. Also, on trips, it cannot hurt to take copies of the court paperwork in case you might be denied entry.

Once everything is settled and it is clear that you are not deportable because this was not a conviction for a crime of moral turpitude, then you should not have any problems travelling.

I agree, if the cost for medicine are that high it doesn't make sense to settle for that amount. Either there is much more to that case or you should consult another attorney.

As far as I understand you had a green card but did not live in the U.S. Because you did not establish a domicile in the United States the green card was abandoned. Under immigration law a legal permanent resident has to establish residence in the U.S. and must not abandon it. Here it sounds...

What one would need to know is the exact definition of the crime and the possible punishment for it, to determine if it was a "crime of moral turpitude" and what the maximum punishment could have been.

You probably would be able to sue her for trespass (the flooding), assault (throwing water at you), nuisance (all her conduct) and may be even defamation, depending on what she is telling other people about you. You also might be able to file criminal charges for assault, criminal trespass and...

Well, as you yourself wrote, you were not cited for calling that person names. That is because it is not illegal in most cases (there are some obscure obscenity and other laws on the books in some places, but that is not the issue here.) You were cited for blocking traffic. Now this is much...

as long as there are no outstanding warrants for anything you should be ok, though I would not advise to leave the country until all court proceedings are disposed off.

That is the point: a normal tourist does not need to get an I-94, and someone who intends to stay for good is not a normal tourist. The easier way is to do it right and apply for a K-1 Visa.

Your attorney should know how to get a copy

You are welcome. I hope it all goes well. @ddd There is a little quirk in the law which can lead to major problems and which most people do not realize (as I am sure the lawmakers didn't realize when they made the law): The law says ...deportable, if convicted of a crime where the...

Well, let me set some things straight: Federal immigration law does not care if a state considers a crime "reportable" or not. If the Federal Government knows about it, it will count. But, may be you misunderstood the guy. May be he said "deportable." Now the good news: Both of your...

Yes, him not having a regular income will affect the visa. He must be able to show that he can support his new wife. There are some other ways, like finding a family sponsor etc. which are being explained at the government's website: www.immigration.gov look for the keyword "affidavit of...

They basically have three possibilities to bring her to the US: 1. They apply for a K-1 Visa for her, after she receives the Visa she comes to the US and they marry within 90 days. Then they file the paperwork for her green card. You never know for sure how long things take with the...

Well, let me tell you two things, the sensible answer and the legal answer. The sensible answer: Before I went to law school I was a police officer who has seen a lot of people get into trouble, therefore I speak of experience: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS! For some years I was wearing...

There seem to be some serious immigration issues here which you should attempt to address. But that has no influence on child custody issues. If the child has lived in the United States for the last 6 months the American courts have jurisdiction under national law and international treaties...
