USCIS allows Applicants in Employment Based and Family Based categories to use Date for Filing for Adjustment of Status in October

USCIS has determined that applicants may use the Dates for Filing chart on the Department of State’s (“DOS”) October Visa Bulletin.

For Family-Sponsored Filings: In the F2A category, there is a cutoff date on the Dates for Filing chart. However, the category is “current” on the Final Action Dates chart. This means that applicants in the F2A category may file using the Final Action Dates chart for October 2019. For all the other family-based preference categories, applicants must use the Dates for Filing chart.

For Employment-Based Preference Filings: Applicants must use the Dates for Filing chart in the Visa Bulletin. Since Vietnam is not listed on the Dates for Filing chart, adjustment applicants from Vietnam should use the worldwide dates found in the “All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed” column.

To understand more about the Dates for Filing and Final Action Dates charts on the DOS Visa Bulletin, read our article here.

Enterline and Partners Successfully Expedites I-130 Petition with Direct Consular Filing at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City

Enterline and Partners is pleased to announce that our attorneys have successfully represented another client with Direct Consular Filing (“DCF”) of an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (“I-130 Petition”) at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City (“Consulate.”) Our clients, a U.S. citizen and Vietnamese citizen, approached us after the U.S. citizen received a job offer which required his immediate relocation back to the United States. Following our consultation session in which we thoroughly discussed how DCF is adjudicated as well as advising that it remains discretionary, the couple decided to proceed and engaged our office to file the initial DCF request. Our team worked diligently in gathering all of the required and supplemental documentation needed before the DCF request could be filed. Once everything was finalized, we submitted the request. Less than a week later, the Consulate approved our DCF request and scheduled the client to file the

Supreme Court Hands the Trump Administration a Partial Victory in Ongoing Birthright Citizenship Litigation

The United States Supreme Court has given President Donald Trump’s Executive Order (“EO”) curbing birthright citizenship a partial victory. The ruling does not impact “Birthright Citizenship” but rather restricts district court judges from issuing nation-wide (or “universal”) injunctions against Executive Orders. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that lower federal court judges who issued nationwide injunctions against the EO went too far and granted the Trump Administration’s request to narrow the injunctions issued in Maryland, Washington and Massachusetts. While the Supreme Court’s ruling was a dramatic shift in how lower federal court judges have operated for years, the decision left enough room for challengers to the EO to prevent it from taking effect while litigation works its way through the federal court system. Specifically, the EO, which also suffered a setback by the Federal Court of Appeals will remain blocked for an additional thirty (30) days) allowing the
