Quite honestly, the long way would be that your husband (hopefully a citizen) files a petition with Immigration and declares himself as the sponsor to get your mother-in-law in the US. The average wait time for such case can take years. However, another strategy that I am hearing a lot is to file a petition with immigration as a nanny for your children. \n\nThe best answer is by an immigration attorney. Ask around in your friend circle and find a good attorney.

Hi here Pasil, I Live in New Zealand and it is awesome. You can try a website called netcheck. It has alot of jobs for you and your background. We are very short of workers here so as long as you have a trade it is very easy to immigrate here at the moment. Another place to look is seek.co.nz. I make my money online and will give you my web address as well. Hope this helps you. To your new life Here.

Get a laywer today!!! You need to ask them what your rights are in that state. If you get a good one, you should not have to travel down there. He can get you copies of everything you need and start procedings to get the people out of your house. If it were SC, I would recommend a good one. Good luck, wish I could do more.

You should contact a good immigration attorney and make sure he is familiar with the appeals process.\n\nCheck to see why she did not recieve notice from INS---could it be that the I-129 or I-130 had wrong address--because you will have to give a good reason for your petition to be successful.

You can petition her as a fiance. It is probably best to get a lawyer. My husband is from Mexico and he entered the country illegally, we married here and I petitioned him as my husband, he had to pay extra and write a statement apologizing for entering this way. I chose to join him in Mexico during his waiting time (5 mos) because he was not allowed to leave his country. He is now living here as a permanent resident, he can work legally and in 2 more years he can try to become a citizen.

It's not difficult or expensive; just paperwork and filing fees.  Here is what he and you have to do:  after the petition is approved, it will be a few months if you can get your documents together quickly.\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html

I'm a LEGAL Permanent resident who came to the USA in 1998, and YES it is that difficult! In theory there are a number of ways to get residency: \n Family sponsorship - only immediate family members are eligible, such as Father, son, brother.\n Employer sponsorship - useless in practice because a)they don't want to bother with the paperwork, they have to show 6 months worth of advertisements and explain why they didn't/couldn't hire a US citizen b) they become liable (as sponsor) for refunding to the State any benefits etc that may get paid out should the Resident be out of work, injured etc.\n Asylum - only available if you can prove your life is at risk if you return home\n Start your own business and employ locals - not sure on the full details of this one...\n Marry a US citizen - the route most legal resident immigrants end up taking. I tried this but my wife complained I only married her to get residency, wouldn't sign the paperwork (she said she didn't have the required 3 years of income records to prove that you're not going to be living below the poverty line) and then bitched that I wasn't working - catch 22! In the end I got it through another and definately NOT recommended route - \n File as an abused spouse - no sponsor required, you need to show records, photos etc to prove the marriage was in good faith, a police report of an arrest for domestic violence against you, and show that return to your home country would cause hardship - in my case all the Pilot's Licences I'd studied and paid for in the US would be useless in UK and I had no money to get them changed to European licences!\n I hope this helps explain - all Americans I've spoken to about my experiences are amazed at just how difficult it is - the laws don't need tightening, just enforcing, and if they're unenforcable then it makes sense to reword them so that those who are here anyway can at least pay taxes and contribute fully to society! Tightening them will just have the opposite effect to that desired, ie MORE illegals!!

The child has duel citizenship.\nThe Mother does not.  Marriage to a U.S. citizen will keep her here, but there are not many other options, unless she can extend her work visa

I"m from Australia.  However if your wife is still in Lybia and unwell, your chances of gaining residency here are limited.  She wouldn't be allowed here permanently if she was going to be a burden on the welfare system.\nHowever, if she's already here in Australia, it's a different matter.  If you have a trade qualification, you need to find a job here before you reach our shores, as unemployment benefits will not apply to you.  Try contacting the Australian Immigration Dept and seeing how you go.\nQuite frankly, your chances of finding a sponsor to financially back you to come here, are zero.\nTry the links below-

My dad was stationed at Schofield and I loved living there. There are many issues you will need to consider. First off the cost of living is pretty high. Everything costs more and I mean EVERYTHING. There are lots of jobs but you are going to get crackin' right now on finding employers that will work. There are a several civilian companies that do lots of work with the military and hire many people such as yourself. If you check out monster, hotjobs, etc you should see some open jobs at Hickham and Pearl Harbor. That would be a good place to start. Since your wife is from Hawaii she can prepare you for the culture shock.

I am in your shoes as i type, I am married to a island man, and it was love at first sight, but I will be honest with you, you are going to miss your family like hell! I have no family where I am residing now, but once love is in the air that's all the matters.  I am very family orientated myself, my husband is not!  If you can get him to move where you are at good for you, but if not you just have to follow your heart like i did! Take care! IF YOU WANT TO TALK YOU CAN EMAIL ME SPORTINTAHOE07@YAHOO.COM

Good Morning Neil:\n\nI'm sorry about your girl friend.\nFirst , you cannot just move and live in Brazil.\nYou would need a resident visa.\nThis you need to apply at the Brazilian Consulate.\nYou will need to provide letters of invitation and offer of employment from your wife's cousin .\nIf you go in as a tourist , and stay  you will become technically an \nillegal alien\nBoa Sorte

That may not be so easy. I am not a lawyer, but I had to study this a lot not so long ago because of my status (today, legal alien, permanent resident). First, you never mentioned how she got into the country. Is she legal? Is she a permanent legal resident?

I recently went through AOS preceedings with my wife from Guatemala.  I searched endlessly for information on the internet.  The INS website is so huge, and can be quite confusing.  I called many immigration attorneys and wrote many emails, but I found it VERY difficult to get free information from anybody.  In the end, I decided that the best thing to do is to let a professional handle the case.  If you are financially able, try to find an attorney.  My attorney handled all AOS costs for $1200 (filing fees are paid separately).  The peace of mind was worth it. Hope this helps.
