Can I apply for a U.S. Visa in a Country Where I am not a Citizen or Where I Don’t Live?

Even if you are not a citizen of a particular country but you reside in that country, it is still possible to apply for a U.S. visa in your country of residence. Likewise, if you are a citizen of a country but you don’t live in that country, you may still be able to apply for a U.S. visa in that country. Suppose for example you are a Vietnamese citizen who is living and working in Singapore. Instead of flying back to Vietnam and apply for a U.S. visa at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City or the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi, you may nonetheless apply for your U.S. visa in Singapore. If however, if you live in Vietnam, have Vietnamese citizenship but you also obtained citizenship through investment in St. Lucia or the Commonwealth of Dominica, you may be able to apply for your U.S. visa either in Vietnam or at the U.S. Consulate in Barbados which has jurisdiction over St. Lucia and Dominica.

While most U.S. Embassies and Consulates allow those to attend visa interviews the country where they reside (citizens and non-citizens of the country), some Embassies and Consulates may restrict U.S. visa interviews to only those who reside in the country

What is a Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record?

If you are applying for lawful permanent residency (“Green Card”) from within the United States, you have to submit Form I-693, which is a medical exam and vaccination record completed by a specific doctor. Submitting this form shows that you are eligible for a Green Card based on health reasons. Who Can Complete Form I-693? Only a doctor listed on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) website at www.uscis.gov/tools/find-a-civil-surgeon can perform the exam. How Much Does it Cost to Have the Form I-693 Completed? Rates vary by physician. We encourage you to do your research and compare charges for civil surgeons in your area. When scheduling the appointment, tell the office that it is for an immigration medical examination. What Should I Bring to My Medical Examination Appointment? What Happens at the Appointment? You will sign a certification confirming that the information you provide is true. The civil

Vietnamese Passport Name Order: Common Issues with U.S. Immigration Documents

Many Vietnamese citizens face challenges when their names are listed incorrectly on U.S. immigration documents such as visas and Green Cards. This often happens because the naming style also known as the Vietnamese passport name order follows the format: Given/ Surname name → Middle name → Given name, which differs from the Western order of Given/ Surname name → First name → Middle name.

These errors may cause inconsistencies between your passport, visa, and Green Card, which can lead to complications with government records, employment, or travel documents. What You Should Do After Receiving Your Visa or Green Card? If Your Green

What Is Capital In The RIA?

In the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”), the definition of “Capital” as an investment for EB-5 has been updated. Capital includes cash, as well as any real, personal, or mixed tangible assets that are owned and controlled by the investor and which are invested in, or contributed into, the business. Capital can also be assets held in trust for the investor, provided the investor has unrestricted access to them. This guarantees that the funds are accessible for investment purposes and job creation. Capital must be evaluated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or other SEC-adopted standard accounting procedures at the time of investment, at fair market value in U.S. dollars. This guarantees uniformity and openness in the investment’s appraisal. The definition of capital excludes several types of assets: However, Capital invested in a business with a buyback option may still qualify if the option can only be
