Enterline and Partners Successfully Expedites CR-1 Visa With Direct Consular Processing at U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City

Enterline and Partners recently represented a newlywed couple living in Vietnam in an expedited I-130 Petition for Alien Relative with the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. The couple, a U.S. citizen and a citizen from a South American country were married in Hong Kong and living in Vietnam. The expedited filing was based on the U.S. citizen’s immediate return to the United States to begin a graduate school program.

The entire process from filing to visa issuance took less than two months as opposed to 12-18 months based on the current trends for I-130 petitions submitted to a USCIS lockbox.

For clients living in Vietnam, the Philippines and across Asia who have an immediate need to return to the United States such as a family-related medical emergency, an employment offer or other similar situations, we are confident that we can avail of expedited I-130 processing without having to file the petition with a USCIS lockbox. In the event that expedited processing is not available, our U.S. immigration attorneys in Manila, Philippines, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam can still provide stress free CR1 visa filing assistance and help prepare the required documentation for a non-expedited I-130 Petition.

Are K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas Affected by Trump’s 2025 Immigration Policies?

With the return of the Trump administration in 2025, many couples are asking the critical question: “Are K-1 Fiancé(e) visas (hereinafter “fianc(é)”) affected by Trump’s new immigration policies?” While there is currently no outright ban on K-1 fianc(é) visas, applicants should be prepared for significant changes in processing, increased scrutiny, and potential delays. Following the precedents set during Trump’s previous term and recent executive orders in early 2025, the landscape for family-based immigration, including the K-1 visa, is shifting. Understanding these changes is vital for a successful application. Current Status of K-1 Visas in 2025 As of now, the K-1 fianc(é) visa program remains active. It has not been suspended. However, the administration’s focus on heightened security and “extreme vetting” is already impacting how these visas are processed. Unlike immigrant visas, K-1 visas are technically classified as nonimmigrant visas by the Department of State, even though they are treated

Infrastructure Project, Rural Area, And Targeted Employment Area In The RIA

In the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”), three important terms are Infrastructure Project, Rural Area, and Targeted Employment Area (“TEA”). Here’s a clear explanation of each: Infrastructure Project An infrastructure project refers to a capital investment project administered by a governmental entity, such as a federal, state, or local agency. It typically involves a job-creating entity that works with a new commercial enterprise to receive capital investments from EB-5 investors. These projects are characteristically for improving public infrastructure with the added benefit of creating jobs and helping to stimulate local economic growth. Rural Area According to EB-5 regulation, areas that are within the geographic boundaries of a metropolitan statistical area are not eligible for the rural area designation, ensuring that the rural area classification is applied to regions that outside metropolitan zones and truly rural. A Rural Area excludes areas within the boundaries of cities or towns

What is a Priority Date in U.S. Immigration? A Complete Guide to the Priority Date in U.S. Immigration

The priority date in U.S. immigration is a critical concept for anyone waiting for lawful permanent residency status (“Green Card”). Because Congress sets strict annual limits on the number of immigrant visas issued in most categories, demand often outstrips supply, creating significant backlogs. Your priority date effectively acts as your “place in line” in this complex government queue. This priority date is established when the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) receives your initial petition, either the Form I-130 (for family-sponsored cases) or the Form I-140 or Labor Certification (for employment-based cases) or Form I-526/I-526E (for investor cases). Think of it as the timestamp on your ticket; until your number is called based on this date, you cannot move forward to the final stage of the immigration process. Understanding how the USCIS priority date works is vital for managing your expectations, planning your life during the wait, and knowing
