Enterline and Partners Successfully Represents Vietnamese Family in Overcoming 214(b) Visitor Visa Refusal

Enterline and Partners recently represented a family of four in overcoming their 214(b) visa refusals at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City (“Consulate”).

The family, who formally held U.S. B-1/ B-2 Visitor Visas (“Visitor Visa”), had acquired Grenada citizenship by making an investment in order to gain benefits of having a second citizenship, including having the ability to have a maximum ten (10) year multiple-entry Visitor Visa. The family had previously applied and were issued several times one (1) year Visitor Visas; the maximum allowed for Vietnam passport holders.

During their first interview using their Grenada passports, the interviewing consular officer issued the family a 214(b) visa refusal on a number of factors, including the concern that the family lacked non-immigrant intent and would remain in the United States using their Grenada passports. Following the family’s refusal, our attorneys conducted an in-depth review of the family’s interview and believed that the family should be eligible for the Visitor Visas.  Our attorneys reached out to the Consulate and communicated our concerns. Along with submitting the family’s new DS-160 Online Applications, arguments were made to demonstrate that the family had strong ties to Vietnam and should be eligible to receive their Visitor Visas in their Grenada passports. The family passed their second interview and were issued their 10-year multiple entry Visitor Visas in their Grenada passports.

Philippines Ambassador to the U.S. Urges Undocumented Philippines Citizens to Leave Voluntarily

Philippines Ambassador to the United States, Jose Manuel Romualdez said it would be better for undocumented Philippines citizens to voluntarily leave the U.S. rather than be deported. Ambassador Romualdez made these comments following Donald Trump being elected as the 47th President of the United States and Trump’s appointment of Thomas Homan as the “border czar”. The Ambassador noted that while nearly 200,000 Philippines citizens who are in the U.S. illegally have started the process to obtain lawful permanent residency, a 2023 report by Migration Policy Institute lists the Philippines as the 6th largest source of illegal immigrants with a population of nearly 310,000. Enterline and Partners emphasizes that the proposed mass deportation orders will primarily apply to those in the United States illegally with criminal records awaiting deportation.

President-Elect Trump’s Mass Deportation Begins to Take Hold

During the 2024 campaign,  former president and candidate Donald J. Trump promised mass deportation for millions on undocumented migrants in the United States. It appears that the campaign pledges are beginning to take hold. Last week, President-elect Trump named Thomas Homan as the “Border Tsar.” Homan, a former police officer and immigration official who previously served during the Obama administration and the first Trump administration as Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director has made it clear that mass deportation will be effectively carried out. “We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That’s why he’s elected – to secure the border, save lives, and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats,” said Homan. Homan commented that the immediate focus will be those in the country illegally with criminal convictions or charges. “It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods.
