Enterline Obtains another Approval to Expedite Investor’s I-526 Petition

Enterline and Partners Consulting Managing Partner David Enterline has obtained another approval from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Investor Program Office (“USCIS IPO”) to expedite the review of his investor’s I-526 Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur (“I-526 Petition”). An approval of a request to expedite the review of a I-526 Petition is not an approval or a denial of the I-526 Petition, but with an approval, the USCIS IPO will take the I-526 Petition out of the regular processing queue and assign it to an officer for immediate review. In our experience, decisions can be obtained in as little as 2 to 4 weeks, although the processing time will vary.

The USCIS may consider an expedite request if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to:
1. File the benefit request or the expedite request in a reasonable time frame, or
2. Respond to any requests for additional evidence in a reasonably timely manner;
Urgent humanitarian reasons;
Compelling U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for the Department of Defense or DHS, or other public safety or national security interests); or
Clear USCIS error.

In this case, the investor made an investment into a drug addiction treatment center which will treat individuals suffering from addiction to pain medication during the “Opioid Epidemic” in the United States. Over the past decade, hundreds of thousands of Americans have suffered pain medication addiction and there have been tens of thousands of deaths. We showed “compelling U.S. government interest” for the treatment center’s investors to be granted expedited approval of our client’s I-526 Petition so that the treatment center could use her investment immediately to begin helping Americans.

Enterline and Partners Succesfully Expedites I-130 Petition with Direct Consular Filing at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City

Enterline and Partners is pleased to announce that our attorneys have successfully represented another client with Direct Consular Filing (“DCF”) of an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (“I-130 Petition”) at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City (“Consulate.”) Our clients, a U.S. citizen and Vietnamese citizen, approached us after the U.S. citizen received a job offer which required his immediate relocation back to the United States. Following our consultation session in which we thoroughly discussed how DCF is adjudicated as well as advising that it remains discretionary, the couple decided to proceed and engaged our office to file the initial DCF request. Our team worked diligently in gathering all of the required and supplemental documentation needed before the DCF request could be filed. Once everything was finalized, we submitted the request. Less than a week later, the Consulate approved our DCF request and scheduled the client to file the

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,
