Enterline and Partners Immigration Attorneys Successfully Expedite Petition for a Spouse Filed Directly at the U.S. Consulate in Under One Month

Enterline and Partners successfully expedited an I-130 Petition for the spouse of a U.S. citizen in Ho Chi Minh City by directly filing the petition at the U.S. Consulate.  The couple was married in Vietnam and had originally filed an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative through the USCIS lockbox. Because of the U.S. citizen’s urgent family medical issues requiring immediate relocation back to the United States, our U.S. immigration attorneys were able to arrange to file the petition directly with the U.S. Consulate.

The entire process from filing the request to visa issuance took less than one month as opposed to 12-18 months based on the current USCIS posted processing times.

United States citizens living in Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan and elsewhere across Asia who are seeking immediate relocation based on employment, education, medical issues, etc. are encouraged to contact us to further discuss whether filing directly at the U.S. Consulate would be appropriate. In the event that it is not available, our U.S. immigration attorneys can still assist you in filing a non-expedited I-130 Petition and the visa application and interview at any U.S. Consulate.

Can My Fiance Work in the U.S. After Arriving on a K-1 Visa?

One your fiance arrives in the United States on a K-1 visa and you are married within ninety (90) days upon arrival, you and your fiance will need to file for adjustment of status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) in order to convert the K-1 fiance nonimmigrant visa status to lawful permanent resident status. As part of the adjustment process, applicants have the option of filing a Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/ Departure Records with their Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Approval of the Form I-131 will result in Advance Parole allowing for international travel while waiting for USCIS to approve the Form I-485. Applicants also have the option to file a Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization (“EAD”) while USCIS adjudicates the adjustment application. Once the EAD is approved, they will have valid status and

What is the Four Month Validity Period of an Approved I-129F Petition for a K-1 Visa?

Once the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) approves an I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé, the foreign fiancé typically has four (4) months to apply for a K-1 fiancé visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. However, due to the time that it takes for an approved petition to be sent and received by the National Visa Center and then forwarded to the foreign fiancé’s embassy or consulate where he/she will undergo a visa interview, petition revalidation is possible. While the interviewing consular officer will often automatically revalidate an expired petition, demonstrating ongoing intent that the U.S. citizen and foreign fiancé intend to marry within ninety (90) days upon the foreign fiancé’s arrival in the United States may be requested. The rationale behind requesting updated documentation showing continued marital intent is to ensure that the couple’s bona-fide relationship remains current and genuine. It further helps to reduce prolonged processing

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
