What happens to my visa after a shoplifting charge?

Brian D Lerner
Answered by attorney Brian D Lerner (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Brian D. Lerner
An arrest or charge by itself does not make someone inadmissible, but the admission of the crime will.

How fast can I be admitted after my fiance files for the I212 waiver?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
It depends on how long it will take for immigration to approve the I-212, and how far you already are in the petition process.

Am I eligible to work in the US having a Social Security card that says authorize to work only by DHS and my I94 from with the DS status on?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Although not completely clear from your question, it appears that you are present in the U.S. with an expired J1 visa. That would not authorize you to be employed, notwithstanding your Social Security card. If you were to become married to a U.S. citizen, you may be able to apply to adjust status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident, and with that application you could apply for an Employment Authorization Document (an EAD) for use while your adjustment of status application remains pending. In order to adjust status, however, you either must have no two-year home residency requirement associated with your old J1 visa, or you must succeed in having the two-year requirement waived. It would be wise for you and your fiance to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about your immigration history, your plans for marriage, etc, would be able to advise you about eligibilities, options and strategies and would be able to offer legal representation in the often quite complex application process.
