Q: What are the consequences of changing my employer with a pending / approved H1B petition?
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
Yes you may be able to transfer the H1B, if company B agrees to file your H1B as well. Although it might be a bit too early to file it because you would not have three or more payslips to attach. And yes you can work on OPT for company B if company A does not work out. All the best.

Q: Hi : I have a theft case , can I fix this with a laWyer and the person affected out off the court? I mean skip court
Brian K Jackson's answer
If the state or city has given you a criminal citation then you have to go through the court process. If you don't show up to court they will issue a warrant. It is good to get an attorney on board as theft can affect your immigration status, your employment, your housing and your credibility if you ever testify. I would sit down and talk to an attorney and go over your case. You can also possibly get everything figured out in court with the person affected.

Q: is retail theft and theft 2 difffrent cjharges
Brian K Jackson's answer
Retail theft is a theft charge that is specific to a theft of retail. If they charged someone with two different theft charges with the same incident you will probably want to contact an attorney as there may be a double jeopardy issue. It's also good to contact an attorney for theft charges because it is a crime of dishonesty which can affect employment, housing, immigration and your credibility when that person gives a testimony.

Q: My fiancé is in Brazil and would like to come here so we can get married. What is the best way of legal getting him here
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
What is your immigration status? If you are US citizen you can file a fiance petition for your fiance to come here and get married. That is the legal way to get married. If you are not an US citizen he needs to get some other non-immigrant visa to come here to get married, but it is complicated procedure. I suggest you talk to an immigration attorney to help you with this process. Many immigration attorneys including me offer free consultations. All the best.

Q: I was accepted for my green card a year ago. My brother requested me 5 years ago. Can I get a work permit while I wait?
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
1. There is no way to speed up the process.
2. Without knowing which country you are from, it is not possible to say how long it will take. (I suggest checking the visa bulletin)
3. You can get a work permit on a student visa but having an approved I-130 petition does not make you eligible for a work permit.
4. I strongly recommend talking to an immigration attorney to help you with the process and also make sure all the documents are filed properly on time to make...
