Enterline and Partners Overcomes 221(g) Refusal for Vietnamese Client

Our client, a U.S. citizen (Jack) and his Vietnamese wife (Jill) wanted to return to the United States. After the Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative was approved in about two (2) months, the case was forwarded to the National Visa Center (“NVC”). While at the NVC, the adjudicator questioned whether Jack had enough assets to financial support his family. Our attorney provided the NVC with a detailed financial report of Jack’s assets showing his financial maintenance ability which was accepted by the NVC adjudicator.

After Jill’s  case was sent to the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City for an interview, the consular officer issued a 221g Notice of Administrative Processing requesting for a joint sponsor which would require a new I-864 in order to demonstrate that the intending immigrant, Jill, would not become a public charge.

After speaking with Jack, our attorney quickly drafted a robust response to the consular officer’s finding showing that Jack had already established that Jill would not become a public charge. The response was sent to the Consulate’s Immigrant Visa Unit and within a few days, we received an update that Jill no longer required a joint sponsor and that the immigrant visa would be issued.

Enterline and Partners emphasizes that we have no special connection with any government officers.  In this and other cases, as experienced immigration lawyers, we were able to analyze a client’s case and bring relevant law and information to the attention of the examining officer to be considered for further review and making a positive decision on a case.  For more information on 221g refusals and the I-864 Affidavit of Support, contact us today at info@enterlinepartners.com and speak with a U.S. immigration lawyer in Ho Chi Minh City, Manila and Taipei.

Passport Revocation for Child Support Arrears

On May 7, 2026, the United States Department of State (“DOS”) announced that it will begin revoking U.S. passports for certain individuals with outstanding child support arrears. Under existing federal regulations (22 CFR §51.62) and DOS policy guidance (7 FAM 1754), DOS may deny or revoke a U.S. passport when the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) certifies that an individual owes more than US$2,500 in child support. Although this authority has existed for years, the announcement signals increased enforcement efforts. According to recent reports, the initial phase may focus on individuals with arrears exceeding US$100,000, with broader enforcement potentially expanding to all individuals owing more than US$2,500. Once revoked, a passport may no longer be used for international travel. In most cases, the individual will not become eligible for a new passport until DHHS certifies that the child support arrears have been resolved. If an individual is overseas

Protection from Regional Center Program Expiration – Grandfathering before September 30, 2026

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) introduced several important changes to the EB-5 Regional Center Program. One of the most important protections for investors is commonly referred to as the “grandfathering” provision found in Section 108 of the RIA, titled “Protection from Expired Legislation.” Since its creation in 1993, the EB-5 Regional Center Program has always been a pilot, or “test”, program.  Historically, it has required periodic reauthorization by the United States Congress. In the past, temporary lapses in authorization created uncertainty for investors with pending I-526E, Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor petitions. Many investors were at risk that USCIS would stop processing their cases if the Regional Center Program expired before petition approval or visa issuance. To address these concerns, Congress included additional protections in the RIA intended to help investors continue moving forward with their immigration process even if the Regional Center Program expires
