Our client of many years recently got their Citizenship Application approved! When they came to us, they were a newly engaged couple who had experienced some complications with their Fiancé Visa application.

Once their application was approved, we worked with them on the National Visa Center applications and prepared them for the Read More

Will I need to go to an interview?
Historically all marriage-based green card applicants were required to attend a USCIS interview to talk about their relationship and eligibility for a green card. Recently, I learned that USCIS is approving some marriage-based green card applications without an interview. However, I have never had this happen in my cases. At this point, you should plan that you’ll have a USCIS interview if you file a marriage-based Read More

Deadlines for I-751 Joint Petitions and I-751 Waiver Petitions
Renewing your conditional green card (or “removing the conditions on your residence”) requires you to file Form I-751 with your US Citizen spouse**. You must file Form I-751 in the 90 days before the expiration of your conditional card. Do not file it early–it may get rejected. If you file late (that is, after the expiration of your conditional green card), you will need to submit an explanation of why you filed late Read More
Renewing your conditional green card when no longer living with spouse
Renewing your conditional green card (or “removing the conditions on your residence”) requires you to file Form I-751 with your spouse. If you are no longer living together, your spouse can still support your application to renew your conditional green card by signing Form I-751 and providing information and documents for the application. If you are separated, you should explain to USCIS what happened with the Read More
Can I have my case processed in Massachusetts if I live in another state?
Generally, no. You cannot choose which USCIS will process your case. USCIS determines this by where you live at the time of filing the application. Some USCIS applications are processed at centralized offices, such as the National Benefits Center, the California Services Center, and the Vermont Service Center. Until USCIS sends you a notice about the case with information about which central office has your case, it Read More
What is a Request for Evidence?
An RFE is a Request for Evidence. USCIS sends RFEs after you have filed an immigration application. If USCIS needs information or documents that you did not include in your application, USCIS will send you an RFE. Sometimes, however, USCIS makes a mistake and requests information or documents that you’ve already submitted. Even if USCIS made a mistake, you still must respond to the RFE before the deadline on the RFE. Read More

Humanitarian Parole allows eligible Nicaraguans to US
If you are Nicaraguan and are currently outside the US, you may be eligible to enter the US on a new, and limited, program called Humanitarian Parole. You will need a valid Nicaraguan passport and a person in the US who promises to financially sponsor you. The program would allow you to enter the US, stay here for two years, and be eligible to work in the US during that time. If you are eligible for a US Green Card Read More
