My approved nonimmigrant worker petition was returned to USCIS for further review. What do you mean by this?

You are in the wrong website to get your question answered. Most do not know what you are talking about. \nI know the visa you have. But, your question can't be answered. Most of the agency are slow at doing anything.\n\nI work with teenagers whose parents are in the diplomatic corp. going over on foreign assignment. For those who will not be attending embassy schools it take almost year to get the paper work now. Every year it gets worse. I know I wasn't much help, but that is as good answer I can give.

It is considered an "illegal-alien" or "out-of-status visitor."\n\n"Staying beyond the period of time authorized, by the Department of Homeland Security, and out-of-status in the U.S., is a violation of U.S. immigration laws, and may cause you to be ineligible for a visa in the future for return travel to the U.S."\n\nPlease read the following website for more info.

Ok, from what you say you were actually 'refused leave to enter' and then removed from the UK. In UK law the term deportation has a different and more serious meaning. Sounds like splitting hairs I know but it is quite an important distinction. \n\nI've seen your other question - re what you should say to immigration - and, given the experience you describe here, I can understand why you ask it. However you do need to be absolutely open and honest if you try to return. Because you have been refused entry before your case will be scrutinised with particular care and any omissions or half truths are very likely to come to light, with the result that a second refusal would follow.\n\nUnfortunately it won't be easy to persuade immigration of your case. What they are concerned with is your intentions : details regarding employment, finance etc are simply evidence which helps them to assess whether your stated intentions are genuine and realistic. They are not going to be persuaded simply by the fact that you now have a job - if you came and things worked out with your relationship then presumably you would return to that job either temporarily only or not at all. What you need to do is demonstrate either that your circumstances have changed or that you have re-appraised your plans and that they no longer raise any immigration concerns.\n\nEasy to say, harder to do. You do need to show that there's enough money available to you during your stay, either from your own resources or through your sponsor. If you'd be staying at a private address while here then obviously you wouldn't need accommodation costs so less money required. These things can only ever be a rule of thumb because there are no set rules - personally I'd suggest that £1,000 for a stay of around a month with no accommodation expenses looks comfortable. It could obviously be done cheaper but bear in mind you'd need to satisfy immigration that you could also cover the cost of any emergencies that might happen whilst here. \n\nIf you have that kind of money available, good. However Immigration will be interested to know where the money came from. As you're going through a divorce it may well be that your financial position is temporarily a little more insecure than usually it would be. In the way of divorces things can also improve quite rapidly once things begin to move. They may well understand that, in these circumstances, a person's financial standing can improve rapidly - provided that the money is there to back up your statements.\n\nI'd strongly suggest that you apply for a visa to your nearest UK Embassy or Consulate in the US before trying to travel. As you know you can travel without but there's a risk that you'd lose the cost of your ticket if you were refused entry at the airport again. It also gives you the chance to put your case better - never easy to do that when exhausted after a long, transatlantic flight.\n\nI'm sorry this is mostly quite a negative response. Unfortunately it is a really difficult situation with no cast-iron guarantees and I didn't want to gloss over that. I really hope this all works out for you.

Consult an immigration attorney or advocate to explain the paperwork to you. (Or contact the Immigration Department directly.)

Without knowing your particular details, there is no way I could give you a proper answer. You ought to check out the immigration website for more information.\nThat said, what I can tell you is this: please make sure your paperwork is complete. Any missing information will slow things down and may even raise some suspicions no matter how unwarranted. Also, it can be very tiring having to wait for what seems like ever and so the temptation to phone immigration to try and find out the status of your file is everpresent. A few friends of ours who have undergone this process have told us not ever to phone immigration on a regular basis as they do not appreciate having people bug them. Government is usually slow but they do get the job done as quickly as they can.

The Immigration and Naturalization Act of United States (INA) section 212(b) states that a visa applicant must prove that he/she does not intend to become a potential immigrant.\n\nIn other words the burden of proof lays on you, as opposed to criminal law where a defendant is assumed Innocent until proven guilty, in the case of peopele requesting non-immigrant visas, the applicant is assumed an immigrant until he/she prooves otherwise.\n\nNormally, people proove this by showing that they have ties to their country that require them to come back (this constitutes in family, job, properties or business one may own). 90% of visas are rejected for this reason.\n\nWhile not impossible, in the case of poorer countries such as Ghana, this can be quite difficult to proove.\n\nThis section ,however, only applies to people requesting non -immigrant visa (tourist, study etc...).

No, an alien holds a card to stay and work for a limited time and is not a resident either, only holds temporary residency. An illegal cannot have employment authorization because he came in undocumented and as such, is not entitled to green cards or residency. You can't do things backwards and expect to jump ahead of those in line. Be considerate of others and the U.S. will be very considerate to you.

interesting... how can your visa be cancelled while you are still in the US ? What did you do ? this is quite unusual...are you sure you didn't overstay?\n\nI'm assuming you are talking about a tourist visa... the purpose of the visa is for you to come as a tourist ! you must go back once your status expire...\n\nif you want to live and work legally you must explore legal avenues... if you stay you'll become an illegal alien ...\n\nIf you have no career aspirations and want to be a janitor, constructor etc... then you'll have no problem living in the US as an illegal but I can't imagine anybody wanting to be a janitor all his life... as a professional you'll never be able to get a job if you are an illegal alien

Your lawyer was a crack pot and gave you some bad advice. SInce your husband was here on a work visa then he would have been able to adjust his status while remaining in the U.S. after you got married. There was no reason for you to leave. Even if his visa was expired he still would have been able to stay in the U.S. and adjust status. As far as advice for you now, I don't really know what to tell you. Have you already filed the I-130 for your husband? Did you leave before your husbands work visa expired or after? If you would like you can send me an email to answer my questions. I may be able to help you. My husband is also a Mexican citizen and we are working on this process now.

If you entered on a 90 day visitor visa, you are not allowed to work or entitled to a SSN.  A visitor visa is a temporary visa for visiting the US only.  \n\nWorking in the US without proper USCIS approval is beaking US immigration laws and makes you subject to deportation if found out.\n\nIf you want to remain in the US to work, you need to apply for the proper visa, but since your visa status has already expired you would have to prove the following:\n\n- The delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control; \n- The length of the delay was reasonable; \n- You have not done anything else to violate your nonimmigrant status (such as work without USCIS approval); \n- You are still a nonimmigrant (This means that you are not trying to become a permanent resident of the United States. There are some exceptions.); and \n- You are not in formal proceedings to remove (deport) you from the country. \n\nAt this point, you ARE illegal, since you failed to leave the US at the end of the 90 time frame allowed to you and failed to file for an extension or filed for change of status from nonimmigrant visa .  The longer you remain in the US after the expiry of your I-94 could subject you to a 3-10 year ban from ever entering the US again.

I would suggest that you look carefully at your H.O.A. documentation.  You may have given them "right of entry" to correct things that you don't want to correct.

employers may be concerned that you are not a legal citizen. you should make it very clear on your aplication/resume that you are a legal citizen with date e.t.c. that you became a legal U.S. citizen(assuming you are!). \n\nIf you are not a legal citizen yet this should be the first thing you do before anything else what so ever. \n\nIn the county where I live they are getting after employers that higher illegal imigrants with heavy fines/jail time. many employers will not higher immigrants because they do not want to take the risk of highering an illegal.\n\nI am not agsinst imigrants seeking a better life but the county of which i live was starting to turn into little mexico and was draining our local economy dry with all of the financial aid they where needing.\n\ngood luck

Administrative Processing is common for high visa fraud countries.  Basically what it means is that your fiance has been approved pending additional security checks, which can take a couple of weeks to several months.  All you can do is be patient.
