U.S. Immigration laws and regulations have always required immigration attorneys to have a certain level of creativity to problem solve. Keeping current on regulation changes, combined with creativity, helped me navigate the paths to my clients’ goals even when they took unexpected turns.
my fiance is a us citizen. his family are dominican citizens. he married a dominican citizen aprox 19 yrs ago. they have been split up with no contact for 11 yrs. if she files for a divorce from him, in the dominican republic, which is where they were married, how long should that take? They have two children, ages 18 and 19 yrs old. will he need to sign the papers? how much should it cost...we have been waiting for this since december, and i have already sent his family $500.00 american money to pay for it. whats the process?
Marital Finances
My fiance has 5 kids with 4 different women. He is behind in child support with all of them. I have a great job and I own my own house. If I marry him can his baby mothers come after my assests? Earnings? Income Tax? Etc. If so how can I marry him and not be responsible financially?
Bankruptcy
I have read in several places that if my debt is primarily non-consumer debt, that the means test does not apply to my case, but i'm unsure of how reliable the sources are. Since I'm filing pro se, it is very important that I find out for sure! I owe about 16k in consumer debt, and about 70k in back taxes ( 2000-2005 ),, and I'm wondering if I can discharge the tax debt, and if the means test applies to me. Thanks in advance for your help!
