Federal Court to Allow Public Charge Inadmissibility to Resume

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit lifted an injunction issued by a federal judge allowing the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) to resume public charge inadmissibility.

The most recent ruling has been part of intense ongoing litigation since DHS, under the direction of the Trump Administration, started to dramatically expand the definition of “public charge”. Just days before the rule was scheduled to take effect in October 2019, a nationwide preliminary injunction was issued. Earlier this year, the United States Supreme Court upheld the rule allowing it to take effect before the rule was subjected to another preliminary injunction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What Does A 214(b) Refusal Mean in U.S. Immigration Law?

A 214(b) refusal in U.S. immigration law refers to a specific section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) that is often cited when a U.S. consular officer denies a nonimmigrant visa application. This section is often seen with individuals applying for B-1/ B-2 Visitor Visas but it is applicable to all nonimmigrant visa categories such as F-1, E-1/E-2, and L-1, etc. What Is a 214(b) Refusal? When a consular officer issues a 214(b) refusal, it means the officer, independently and subjectively is of the opinion the nonimmigrant visa applicant did not sufficiently demonstrate qualification for the visa category applied for. This is at the discretion of the interview consular officer. Often the applicant did not demonstrate sufficient ties to their home country. In essence, the consular officer is concerned that the applicant may overstay their visa or may use the visa for purposes other than what the applicant has

What is the DS‑260, Its Role in Consular Processing, and Why Accuracy Matters?

If you are applying for a U.S. immigrant visa, completing the online Form DS-260 is a major step in the immigration process once the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services approves your petition. The DS-260 asks for detailed personal, family, and background information, which helps the United States Department of State (“DOS”) confirm your identity and eligibility. If the DS-260 is not properly completed, it can lead to the visa process being delayed. At Enterline and Partners, we help clients avoid such roadblocks by making sure their DS-260 is accurate and complete from the start. In this guide, we’ll cover what the DS-260 is, when to file it, and the key things to keep in mind during the overall process. When and How to Open Your DS-260 You will be able to begin your DS-260 once the National Visa Center (“NVC”) which is under DOS, confirms that your fees are

CR1 Visa Guide: Eligibility, Process, and Costs Explained

When couples begin exploring U.S. immigration options, one of the first questions that often comes up is “What is a CR1 visa?” The CR1 is a U.S. immigrant spouse visa that grants conditional permanent residency (“Green Card”) to foreign spouses married to U.S. citizens for less than two (2) years. While the concept is straightforward, the process involves multiple steps, forms, and interviews that can be confusing without guidance.

That is why we guide families with care, help prepare the right documents, and ease the challenges so the transition to the United States feels less overwhelming.
