Q & A 1. 2. 3. 4.
Q&A 1.
Can I Start a Business in USA With an F2 Visa
I am in the USA on F2 visa and would like to start a business. I am aware that I cannot work as an F2. Can I start corporation or any other type of companies? What is the best official source of information?
Mr. Lee answers:
The law does not preclude persons in nonimmigrant status from establishing companies or corporations in this country as long as they are investors only, and do not work in the enterprises. The best source of information on this question is the case law which has developed over the years and may be contained in compendiums of immigration law.
Q&A 2.

Q&A 3.
DACA Immigration Law
My boyfriend just got a work permit with the dream act bill that passed The DACA by marrying him would I be able to get the same thing? Or will immigration reform bill be a better option for me if and when it passes.
Mr. Lee answers:
Marrying an individual who has qualified for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will not allow you to obtain a work permit or any other benefit to which your boyfriend is entitled. DACA is individual oriented and does not have dependents. If your final choice is between marrying your boyfriend to obtain benefits from his DACA status and waiting for comprehensive immigration reform, you would be best off waiting for the latter. You may of course have other possible relief, and you should visit an immigration lawyer if you wish to go over any other available options.
Q&A 4.
What Do I Need to Get to Obtain a State ID and How Could I Go About Getting These Things?
I am an 18 year old permanent resident. I have lost my green card and social security card. All I have is a photo copy of my green card and a school ID. My parents are not resources available to me to help in any way. I have lived in the U.S. for 6 years. I also have a work history.
Mr. Lee answers:
Since you have a photocopy of your green card, you can apply for a replacement on form I-90 “Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.” The application fee is $450 and should be mailed to the U.S.C.I.S. Phoenix lockbox facility. If using U.S. Postal Service, send to:
USCIS
PO Box 21262
Phoenix, AZ 85036
If using USPS Express Mail/Courier, send to:
USCIS
Attention: I-90
1820 E. Skyharbor, Circle S, Floor 1
Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85034
Insofar as a state ID is concerned, you should be able to obtain such as soon as you obtain a replacement green card. Insofar as Social Security is concerned, you can attempt to obtain a new one now and if rejected, wait until you have your new green card before trying again at your local Social Security office.
