Do You Need an Immigration Lawyer to Represent to File a K-1 Visa for Your Vietnamese Fiance?

A common question asked by potential clients is do you need an immigration lawyer to file a K-1 visa for your Vietnamese fiance? The short answer is no, you do not need a lawyer. However, having a lawyer represent you and your fiance through the process has advantages.

An immigration lawyer is a licensed professional.

Unlike visa companies or agencies that rely on non-lawyers, an immigration lawyer is board
certified in the United States and licensed to represent clients for immigration matters all over the world.

An immigration lawyer holds deep and thorough knowledge of the overall process.

Just like a doctor who is able to make a diagnosis very quickly upon examining a patient symptoms, an immigration lawyer is able to review and quickly offer solutions to potential issues that could arise with a K-1 visa for your Vietnamese fiance. Some of these issues that are common include language and culture barriers between the U.S. citizen and Vietnamese fiance, age gaps, and social economic gaps. By consulting and retaining an experienced immigration lawyer who has experience in working with Vietnamese clients, you will take comfort in knowing that you are working with a professional who can offer solutions and strategies.

An immigration lawyer can represent you and your fiance with numerous U.S. immigration agencies.

Obtaining a U.S. fiance visa for your Vietnamese fiancee involves two U.S. immigration agencies- United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of State. When you retain an immigration lawyer to file the petition with USCIS, they will submit a USCIS Form G-28 Attorney Representation Form indicating that you and your fiance are being represented. In the event that there are problems with processing at USCIS, an immigration lawyer can speak with the agency and file additional documentation on your behalf. Once the petition is approved and sent to the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, an immigration lawyer can continue to represent you and your fiance without having to file additional documentation.

For more information on how consulting and hiring a U.S. immigration lawyer can be beneficial to you and your Vietnamese fiance, contact us at info@enterlinepartners.com to speak with one of our immigration lawyers.

What Is A Form I-94? Understanding the U.S. Arrival/ Departure Records

Following arrival in the United States, visitors (i.e. nonimmigrant visa holders, those from visa-free countries) are issued a Form I-94 which determines allocated length of stay. The Form I-94 used to be a paper form attached to the visitor’s passport. Now it is saved electronically on the Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) website.  Unfortunately, many visitors overlook the Form I-94 which actually controls how long they can remain in the country. The Form I-94 is the official record that proves a visitor entered the U.S. lawfully at a Port-of-Entry (“POE”).  It also shows  exactly how long the visitor is allowed to remain.  This guide explains what the Form I-94 is, why it matters, how to access it, and what to do if something is wrong. Why is a Form I-94 Important? The Form I-94 does more than confirm your entry into the United States. A visitor will need it for

Age Determination For Children Of Alien Investors

Section 203(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(h)) was amended by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) to clarify how in some instances the age of children of investors is determined during participation in the EB-5 program. Under the RIA and the amendment to Section 203(h)(5), an investor’s “child” who has reached 21 years of age and was admitted as a Conditional Permanent Resident as the child of an investor lawfully admitted for permanent residence under subsection (b)(5) will continue to be considered a child of the principal petitioner. Most importantly, this continued classification as a “child” is maintained for any subsequent EB-5 Form I-526 Petition, provided specific conditions are met. It may be interesting to note that under U.S. immigration laws, a “child” is defined as any offspring of a parent that is under 21 years old.  Once a “child” turns 21, then
