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.

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. As such, the sponsor’s estate is not required to take responsibility for the sponsored immigrant following the sponsor’s death. Divorce does not terminate the responsibility, and if the sponsor dies,

F, M and J Student Visa Interviews to Resume with Enhanced Social Media Vetting

The United States Department of State (“DOS”) has instructed Embassies and Consulates to begin accepting new F, M, and J student visa application appointments following a temporary suspension. The pause was initiated to allow DOS to implement policy changes regarding social media vetting. After the suspension, e F, M, and J student visa applicants are required to make their social media accounts public for vetting purposes. 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
