FAQ's
I am in the US illegally and I have received a notification that I won a green card via DV Lottery. A paralegal advised me that I should go to Moscow to collect it. Are there any risks for me?
I have mentioned many times this is a common and quite creative fraud. Winners of DV Lottery do not receive official notifications. Instead it is the responsibility of each applicant to check the status of their application on the official website. Any message claiming that you’ve been selected, no matter how well-written or official it may seem, is a scam.
My 10-year green card expires soon. Can I apply for citizenship?
Yes. Your status as an LPR (green card holder) does not have an expiration date. If your card expires soon, I would recommend that you submit the form I-90 to extend your green card while waiting for your citizenship application to be processed as it can be a lengthy process.
I entered the US on a fiancé(e) visa and got married. However, at present, my spouse refuses to file a petition for me. Is there a way for me to obtain a green card?
First of all, there is no need for your spouse to file a petition for you if you were married within 90 days upon your arrival to the US. However, both of you must attend the interview with the immigration officer together. In case your spouse refuses to attend the interview with you, there is only one option to obtain Legal Permanent Resident status (green card holder) – a VAWA petition (Violence Against Women Act). This a self-petition available to abused spouses. Please note that abuse can be physical and mental. If there was no abuse in your family, my advice is to reconcile with your spouse. Otherwise you should begin to pack your bags.
