Nadine Atkinson Flowers 

US Immigration And Jamaican Lawyer

I look like YOU.
I talk like YOU.
I am YOU.
As a Jamaican immigrant in the USA I understand.
I am your Caribbean connection.

My accent, language, history, culture are all yours. So I know how to represent you. I know first-hand the anxiety you feel as you go through the immigration process. Don’t despair. Are you filing for your husband, wife, fiancé, kids, parents or brothers and sisters? Is the process getting you down or confusing you?  I will fight for you. Need a visitor’s visa, student visa or a work permit? I will help you. Wondering if you should become an American citizen? Let’s work on it.

My 15 plus years as a lawyer means I can help you prove your case.

Are you filing and need documents from “home”? I know the local legal system as a former prosecutor and a defence Attorney. I have the experience needed to present your case and also the understanding of what documents you need.

I can help you with understanding the intersection of US Immigration and Jamaican Law. If you are filing an immigration application for a client with any type of issue from Jamaica (such as old court cases, current court cases, police records, court records, name changes, common law marriage, deed polls, country conditions and cultural history) call for the in-depth analysis and practical advice you need to offer effective counsel to your clients. 

Author

My Latest Book, “On Your Feet, Criminal Law Practice in the Parish Courts in Jamaica”

I got green card a year back and it is sponsored by my wife who is a US citizen. So, is it legal to do two IT jobs?

Question

If I do multiple IT jobs on green card will it effect me anything? Like having multiple W2’s can cause any issue in the process of naturalisation? Or will it effect on the process of removal of conditions(I-751)

Answer

As I understand it you are a green card holder, based on a marriage? There is no problem with you having multiple jobs. You only need to ensure that you report all the incomes at tax time. Keep careful track of all documents related.

Marrying a US citizen in a foreign country?

Question

I am an Indian citizen living in Srilanka with my American girlfriend on a Srilankan toursit visa. We are planning to get married and looking for easier/faster options for me to enter United states and either register our marriage legally done in Srilanka, or apply for I-129 fiance visa, and get married directly in USA.

Answer

There is no guarantee you can arrive in the USA “around October” regardless of which route you choose. The US Immigration authorities have their own timetable that guide them. Try to make your application as thorough as possible to reduce the chance of delay.
