Announcement: Hong Kong and Taiwan Consulates to Resume Visa Application Services on July 15, 2020

The U.S. Consulate General for Hong Kong and Macau and the American Institute in Taiwan (“AIT”) resumed routine visa services on July 15, 2020.

The AIT will resume routine visa services but will prioritize F, M, and J visa applications, which is understandable as students will need to obtain visas quickly to travel to the U.S. in time for fall classes to begin.

The Hong Kong Consulate indicates it will resume ‘limited’ immigrant and nonimmigrant visa services but does not mentioned prioritizing students.

Both posts remind visa applicants that the presidential proclamations suspending entry to the U.S. for certain immigrant and non-immigrants are still in effect. Both posts also advise applicants to expect extended waiting times to obtain appointments.

For assistance with applying for visas at these or other points around Asia, especially China, Vietnam, and the Philippines, contact us at info@enterlinepartners.com and speak with one of our U.S. immigration lawyers in Ho Chi Minh City, Manila and Taipei.

What is Advance Parole and How is it Different from a Re-Entry Permit?

Foreign nationals who arrive in the United States as nonimmigrants and then file for adjustment of status may also file for advance parole in conjunction with their Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). Advance Parole differs from a Re-Entry Permit because while both use the same form; Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records, USCIS issues Advance Parole to those seeking to temporarily depart the United States before their lawful permanent residence is approved. A re-entry permit is for those who are already lawful permanent residents and are looking to travel outside the United States for a short period without abandoning their permanent resident status. An example of a foreign national who would be eligible for Advance Parole is somebody who entered the U.S. on a K-1 fiancé visa. After arriving and marrying

What is a Form I-212 Following Deportation From the United States?

If you have been deported from the United States and looking to re-enter, you may be eligible to file a Form I-212, Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal (“Form I-212”). The Form I-212, which is submitted and adjudicated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) is required for those who are seeking to enter the U.S. while they still have a re-entry bar after they have been deported. The Form I-212 is often filed in conjunction with a Form I-601, Waiver of Inadmissibility, which is used when a foreign national is found to be inadmissible based on previous criminal or immigration violations. However, unlike a Form I-601 in which the standard of review focuses on “extreme hardship” to the qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, if the foreign national is prohibited from being allowed to immigrate to the

“Class A or B (TB) )…requires attn of USPHS at POE ” Annotation On Your U.S. Immigrant Visa

Please note that your immigrant visa has an annotation “Class A or B (TB)…requires attn of USPHS at POE.” This notation refers to a finding related to tuberculosis (“TB”), a communicable disease of public health significance. During the required medical examination, the panel physician assessed whether you may have Class A or Class B tuberculosis. Class A TB applies if you have active, infectious tuberculosis. If so, you are generally inadmissible to the United States until you have completed treatment and no longer pose a public health risk. Class B TB applies if you have a history of tuberculosis, evidence of latent TB infection, or findings suggestive of non-infectious TB that require further evaluation or follow-up. The annotation “requires attn of USPHS at POE” means that you must be referred to the U.S. Public Health Service (“USPHS”) at the U.S. port of entry for further medical review or instructions. Upon
