David Enterline Speaks at E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Seminar in Bien Hoa

David Enterline of Enterline and Partners Consulting spoke at an E-2 Treaty Investor seminar at the Mira Central Park Hotel in Bien Hoa on December 14, 2019.

The E-2 Treaty Investor visa provides nonimmigrant visa status for a national of a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation who is coming to the United States to develop and direct the operations of a business in which the national has invested, or is in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital.

While Vietnam does not have a qualifying treaty with the United States at this time, a Vietnamese investor that wants to qualify for an E-2 visa may consider obtaining a second citizenship from a country such as Grenada or Turkey which does have a qualifying treaty with the United States.

In addition to the investor or business owner being a national of a qualifying country, the investor must make a substantial investment into a new or existing business in the U.S., own at least 50% of the business and be able to prove he or she is going to the U.S. to develop and direct the business. The business must be able to generate more than enough income than just to provide a living to the investor and family.

A qualified investor can bring his or her spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 to the United States.

Supreme Court Hands the Trump Administration a Partial Victory in Ongoing Birthright Citizenship Litigation

The United States Supreme Court has given President Donald Trump’s Executive Order (“EO”) curbing birthright citizenship a partial victory. The ruling does not impact “Birthright Citizenship” but rather restricts district court judges from issuing nation-wide (or “universal”) injunctions against Executive Orders.  In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that lower federal court judges who issued nationwide injunctions against the EO went too far and granted the Trump Administration’s request to narrow the injunctions issued in Maryland, Washington and Massachusetts. While the Supreme Court’s ruling was a dramatic shift in how lower federal court judges have operated for years, the decision left enough room for challengers to the EO to prevent it from taking effect while litigation works its way through the federal court system. Specifically, the EO, which also suffered a setback by the Federal Court of Appeals will remain blocked for an additional thirty (30) days) allowing the

When Do Sponsor Obligations End Under Form I-864?

For immigrants to the United States, the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support (“Form I-864”), is a critical part of the family-based immigration process. It is a legally enforceable contract in which a sponsor agrees to financially support the intended immigrant, helping ensure that the immigrant does not rely on certain U.S. government benefits after becoming a permanent resident. By signing Form I-864, the sponsor takes on long-term financial responsibility, but this obligation is not indefinite. The U.S. government outlines specific situations under which the sponsor’s duties come to an end. When Will These Obligations End?  A sponsors obligations under a Form I-864 end when the sponsored immigrant: A sponsor’s obligations under a Form I-864 also end if the sponsor dies.

Divorce does not terminate the responsibility, and if the sponsor dies,

In a DOS announcement, DOS will use all information available for “visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to U.S. national security. Under this new guidance, we will conduct a comprehensive and thorough vetting, including online presence, of all student and exchange visitor applicants in the F, M, and J nonimmigrant classifications.” The new policy, following the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to begin screening anti-Semitic online activity posted by
