Announcement: USCIS Temporarily Accepts Electronic Reproduced Signature on All Forms

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) announced that it will accept benefit forms and documents with reproduced original signatures for submissions dated March 21, 2020 and thereafter. The policy change was made in response to the Coronavirus National Emergency declared by President Donald Trump on March 13, 2020.

While USCIS currently accepts various petitions, applications, and documentation with an electronically reproduced original signature, the revised policy will allow forms and other documents normally requiring an original or “wet” signature to be substituted with an electronically reproduced signature throughout the duration of the National Emergency.

Petitioners submitting documentation with electronically reproduced signatures to USCIS must also retain copies of documents containing the original signature. USCIS retains the right to request forms with the original signature, which if not provided, could negatively impact adjudication.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Parole-in-Place Program

A U.S. Federal Court Judge has struck down Parole-in-Place following an earlier decision granting the State of Texas and fifteen (15) other states an administrative stay two months ago. Judge J. Campbell Barker of the Eastern District of Texas ruled that the program, which would fast-track permanent residency to certain undocumented immigrants to obtain lawful permanent residents who are spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens, “exceeded its statutory authority and is not in accordance with the law.” Judge Barker further added that the program “focuses on the wrong thing, in identifying ‘significant public benefits’- the benefits of aliens’ new legal status – rather than their presence in the country.” At the time of publishing this article, it is unclear whether the Biden Administration will appeal Judge Barker’s ruling.

What is a K-3 Nonimmigrant visa?

A K-3 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows a foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States while their Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (“I-130 Petition”) is undergoing adjudication with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). The goal of a K-3 is to shorten the time that a foreign spouse is separated from his or her U.S. citizen spouse during the immigration process.

In order to file for a K-3 visa, the U.S. citizen spouse must first file an I-130 Petition with USCIS. Afterwards, the U.S. citizen spouse files a Form I-129F Petition for Alien fiancé(e). (“I-129F Petition”) with supplemental documentation. If the I-129F Petition is approved before the I-130 Petition, the foreign spouse can consular process for a

Can I send my Absentee Ballot to a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for the Upcoming Presidential Election?

U.S. citizens who are unable to physically drop off their ballots at certain locations in Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan may also mail their ballots directly to the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, the U.S. Embassy in Manila, or the American Institute in Taiwan in Taipei at the following addresses: U.S. Consulate Ho Chi Minh CityAmerican Citizen Services Unit4 Le Duan Blvd. District 1Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam U.S. Embassy ManilaAmerican Citizen Services Unit1201 Roxas Blvd.Manila, Philippines 1000 American Institute of TaiwanAmerican Citizen Services Unit100 Jinhu Road Neihu DistrictTaipei, Taiwan 114017 When sending sealed ballots to the addresses above, registered voters will need two envelopes.
