My American Citizen sister would like to petition me, but it would take many, many years to get a green card through a family petition. She also has a very successful business and would like to petition me as her employee through an employment-based petition.
Is there anything wrong or illegal for a relative to petition a family member for a green card through labor certification?
Very truly yours,

[Title] => Immigrants with criminal convictions should not leave the US
[Summary] => Dear Atty Gurfinkel:
I have been a green card holder for many years. Several years ago, I was convicted of a crime. I served the sentence and even had the conviction expunged (or "erased" from my record.) I would like to take a brief vacation to the Philippines to visit my family and friends. Do you think I will encounter any problems with US Immigration when I return?
Very truly yours,

I would like to work in the US, but I heard that I need to show a valid driver’s license and Social Security Number to an employer, before I can be hired. But since I am out of status, I cannot get a driver’s license from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

[Summary] => Dear Atty Gurfinkel:
I left my children behind in the Philippines, and came to the U.S., in the hopes of making a better life for all of us. Now that I’m in the U.S., I want to be reunited with them, but am getting a lot of conflicting advice. I heard the best way is to wait until I become a citizen, and then petition them. Is it true that citizenship is the only (or fastest) way to bring a person’s family to the U.S.?
