The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) is extending certain COVID-19-related flexibilities to respond to agency requests through October 23, 2022. The flexibility, which has been previously extended applies if the issuance date listed on the request, notice or decision was issued between March 1, 2020, and October 23, 2022, inclusive:

  • Requests for Evidence;
  • Continuations to Request Evidence (N-14);

  • Notices of Intent to Withdraw Temporary Protected Status; and
  • Motions to Reopen an N-400 Pursuant to 8 CFR 335.5, Receipt of Derogatory Information After Grant.

The USCIS will consider a response to the above requests and notices received within 60 calendar days after the response due date set in the request or notice before taking any action.

The USCIS will consider a Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, or a Form N-336, Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Under Section 336 of the INA), if:

  • The form was filed up to 90 calendar days from the issuance of a decision it made; and

Federal Lawsuit Filed Immediately Following Trump’s Executive Order Ending Birthright Citizenship

Less than 2 hours after President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order (“EO”) attempting to end birthright citizenship, immigrant advocates started to file lawsuits in Federal Court attempting to block Trump’s Executive Order. The first lawsuit was filed in the U.S. Federal District Court of New Hampshire  on behalf of a group representing Indonesian migrants in the State. It was signed by a total of twenty-six (26) attorneys representing the American Civil Liberties Union, State Democracy Defends Fund, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Endowment Fund, League of United Latin American Citizens and Make the Road New York as plaintiffs. Following New Hampshire, more than two dozen additional lawsuits were filed against the EO in Federal District Courts contending that the EO violates the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, U.S. Supreme Court precedent since 1898 (United States v. Wong Kim Ark), as well as federal law which has been practiced

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
