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 assist in filing required documentation for a non-expedited I-130 Petition.

For more information, contact us today and speak with one of our experienced U.S. immigration attorneys.

Trump Administration Issues Executive Order Requiring Alien Registration Requirement

As posted on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) website, on January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order (“EO”) 14159, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion”. The EO directs the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) to ensure that aliens comply with their duty to register with the government. Failure to comply with the registration requirement is treated as a civil and criminal enforcement priority. The DHS requires that, with limited exceptions, all aliens 14 years of age or older who were not registered and fingerprinted (if required) when applying for a U.S. visa, and who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer, must apply for registration and fingerprinting. Similarly, parents and legal guardians of aliens below the age of 14 must ensure that those child aliens are registered. Within 30 days of reaching his or her 14th birthday, all previously registered aliens must apply for re-registration

CDC Removes COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement for Immigrant Visa Applicants

Effective March 11, 2025, The United States Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) has removed from the technical instructions to panel physicians the requirement that immigrant visa applicants receive the COVID-19 vaccination. Panel physicians will no longer determine that an immigrant visa applicant is ineligible for travel based on their failure to receive, or otherwise document, their vaccination against COVID-19.

Applicants whose medical exams are unexpired and otherwise still valid for travel to the United States, and whom a consular officer previously found ineligible based solely on the applicant’s failure to establish vaccination against COVID-19, may have a new medical exam issued by the panel physician without a

USCIS Proposes to Collect Social Media Handles on Immigration Forms

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) issued a 60-day notice and comment on a proposal to collect information pertaining to social-media handles and associated social media platform names from applicants in an effort to verify identification, streamline public safety screening and related inspections. The proposal, which was published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2025, is in line with President Donald Trump’s January 20, 2025 Executive Order, “Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threat” which directs the implementation of uniform vetting procedures. The USCIS will accept comments to the proposed rule until May 5, 2025. If the proposed rule officially becomes part of USCIS vetting standards, it will follow the U.S. Department of State 2019 rule which requires U.S. visa applicants to disclose their social media handles and other social media related information on their DS-160 Nonimmigrant Online Visa
