From Haiti?

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) extended the designation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months, through July 22, 2017. The 60-day re-registration period runs from today to October 26, 2015. DHS also extended the suspension of certain requirements involving employment authorization for Haitian F-1 nonimmigrant students experiencing severe economic hardship as a direct result of the January 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti.

How does M-1 and F-1 Visa differ?

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

This visa is similar to the F-1 Student Visa except it is for vocational training. There are a wide variety of institutions accepting M-1 Students. Some examples would be a Barber Shop to Automobile Technician Schools to Electrical Training Schools.

The M-1 Vocational Student Visa will last for the length of the designated course. Your spouse and unmarried children can come to the U.S. once your visa is approved.

Is Fiancee Visa takes time to approved?

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

This is the alternative to waiting outside the United States for nearly a year to be with your spouse. Rather than getting married outside the United States, you can have a Fiancée Visa issued in a very short time. In fact, it usually takes only thirty to forty-five days to get an approval from the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Once the visa is issued, your fiancée will come to the United States and you will get married within ninety days in the United States. Afterwards, your spouse will be with you in the United States while awaiting issuance of the Green Card. Your spouse can also leave the United States without any problem of returning.

Any children that your fiancée has can also come to the United States once the visa is issued. This visa automatically allows your fiancée to work upon entry to the United States.

J-1 Trainee Worker

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

This is the Training/Student Visa. It is very versatile and allows you to come to the United States to either get training or study at numerous institutions and organizations. This visa allows you to get trained in areas of discipline ranging from the medical to the agricultural to business fields.

This visa does not need prior Immigration and Naturalization approval, and therefore, can be obtained quickly. You must have either a sponsoring school, organization or business.

It is sometimes easier to get this visa than the F-1 Student Visa, but does carry some other significant restrictions.

Can I apply for Student Visa?

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

This is the Student Visa. It allows you to come to the U.S. to study at a wide variety of educational institutions ranging from large Universities to community colleges to specialized institutions such as cooking schools. This visa can also be used for you to come to the U.S. to study English.

F-1 nonimmigrant student (F-1 student) means an alien who has an F-1 visa. The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services grants such a visa to an alien who has a residence in a foreign country which he/she has no intention of abandoning, who is a bona fide student qualified to pursue a full course of study and who entered the United States temporarily and solely for the purpose of pursuing such a course of study at an established institution of learning or other recognized place of study in the United States, particularly designated by him/her and approved by the Attorney General after consultation with the Department of Education of the United States.

The Student Visa will last for as long as you are in school which depends upon the length of the course of study. Your spouse and unmarried children can come to the U.S. once your visa is approved. You can later change your status to allow you to work.

If you are out of status because of some type of violation of your F-1 Student Visa, you should try to apply for reinstatement of student status. Assuming you did not work out of status, there would be a reasonable chance of success, especially if the reason for you going out of status was not your fault.
