There are several types of work visas available, including H-1B visas for specialty occupations, L-1 visas for intra-company transferees, and O-1 visas for individuals with extraordinary abilities. Each visa category has specific requirements, so it's important to determine which one best fits your qualifications and job offer.
If your visa application is denied, it's important to understand the reason for the denial, which should be provided in the decision notice. You may be able to reapply or file an appeal or motion to reopen or reconsider the case, depending on the circumstances. Consulting with an experienced immigration attorney can help you determine the best course of action.
The processing time for family-based green cards varies depending on the relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary. Immediate relatives (spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21 of U.S. citizens) generally have shorter wait times, often ranging from 12 to 18 months. Other family preference categories can take several years due to annual visa caps and backlog.
As of 2024, DACA remains in effect, allowing eligible undocumented individuals who came to the U.S. as children to receive protection from deportation and work authorization. However, it's crucial to stay updated on any changes in legislation or policy, as DACA's status can be subject to legal and political developments.
Yes, you can apply for asylum if you are already in the U.S. You must file your asylum application within one year of your last arrival unless you qualify for an exception. To be eligible, you must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
To be eligible for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, you must be at least 18 years old, have been a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), and meet continuous residence and physical presence requirements. You must also demonstrate good moral character, pass English and civics tests, and take an oath of allegiance.
You can check the status of your visa or green card application online through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website using your receipt number. For consular processing, you can check the status on the U.S. Department of State's Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website.
