Divorce
Child Support
Citizenship can also be obtained by applying for naturalization. A person who has been a lawful permanent resident for five years may apply (or in the case of a lawful permanent resident who is married to and living with a US citizen – he or she may apply after three years). The process requires an N-400 application that will lead to an interview. At the interview, the applicant is tested on their knowledge of US history, government and civics, and their ability to read and write in the English language. Some important considerations to take into account before applying are whether the applicant has ever been arrested, whether (if a man) the applicant was required to and did register for Selective Service, whether they’ve paid required child support, how much time they’ve spent outside of the US since becoming a lawful permanent resident, and whether they owe back taxes.

Drug Crimes
Criminal grounds of inadmissibility may exist for having committed a crime involving moral turpitude or for drug offenses amongst others. If a person was present for more than 180 days without lawful status and then freely departs the US, they are inadmissible for three years (3 year bar). If they are unlawfully present in the US for one year or more and depart freely, they are then inadmissible for ten years (10 year bar).

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
The B-1 category has many more purposes. Some are visitors who come to the US to engage in business negotiations, conferences, meetings, some religious leaders, volunteers, meetings of boards of directors, private crewman (yacht), prospective investors, domestic workers of non-immgrants or US citizens who normally live abroad, workers making installation of machinery pursuant to a contract, airline workers and others. Any sort of visit for which the purpose is business based but does not necessarily involve productive work with pay in the US could qualify for the B-1.

Employment Contract
An alien in O Visa status is admitted initially for a period of time necessary to comply with the terms of the employment contract, with a maximum admission period of three years. O-1status can be extended in one-year increments and there is no maximum period of stay provided that the employment offer is extended.

Immigration Law

Citizenship and Naturalization
US citizenship may be obtained in several different ways. In general, a person born in the United States is a citizen at birth unless they are born to foreign parents with diplomatic status. Citizenship may also be acquired by a person born abroad through a person’s parent or parents who are US citizens. Depending on various factors such as when the person and their parents were born, citizenship may be acquired and evidence of the person’s citizenship can be obtained by applying for a certificate of citizenship with the USCIS or by applying for a US passport with the US Department of State.
Family Immigration
Family based immigration is divided into categories based upon the petitioner’s (sponsor’s) status as either a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident and their relationship to the sponsored relative.
Employment Immigration
As explained above, this classification does not require a labor certification or even an offer of employment in the U.S., therefore, it can take significantly less time than other methods of business or employment based immigration. During the labor certification process, the alien may be required to stay under the employment of the petitioning employer until the process has been finalized. Under the Extraordinary Ability classification however, the alien does not need to be associated with a particular employer and may even be self-employed. Also, as explained above, this classification allows the filing of the application for Permanent Residence concurrently with the visa petition, which is not allowed with most labor certification applications, making the process faster.
Green Cards
Student Visas
Whether you get a visa at the U.S. Consulate abroad, or change status in the US, is going to depend on certain circumstances. For example, with an E-2 status, we much prefer to get the visa abroad because this will allow multiple entries for the applicant as opposed to only having this status while you’re in the United States. Another status such as an F-1, which is a student visa, can take a very long time to change status in the United States and is much preferable to get the visa at the U.S. Consulate abroad. There will be individual circumstances depending on the type of visa and the person’s needs to make that determination.
Work Visas
Investor Visas
Many countries around the world have immigrant investor programs. The most successful countries attracting immigrant investment are United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa is available to immigrants seeking to enter the United States in order to invest in a new commercial enterprise that will benefit the US economy and create at least 10 full-time jobs. There are three ways to invest which you may use within the EB-5 category: 1) Creating a new commercial enterprise 2) Investing in a troubled business or 3) Investing in a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved Regional Center.
