Immigration Atty. Eugene Palacios
KATRINA is a derivative beneficiary of the approved I-130, Immigrant Petition for Alien Relative that was filed in behalf of her father, Danilo, by her grandfather on October 29, 1988.
The petition was initially approved on July 7, 1989. Unfortunately, the petitioner passed away on May 15, 1997 even before the beneficiaries have been granted immigrant visas, causing the automatic revocation of the approved immigrant petition.
LATA Shah filed an immigrant petition under the 4th preference family-based category in behalf of her sister, Vibha Shah, on June 10, 1991. Said petition was approved on June 28, 1991.
Vibha and her family applied for immigrant visas with the United States Consulate in Mumbai, India in June 2003 and were later granted visas, with the exception of her son, Nihar (born November 10, 1982), who was then more than 21 years old. After waiting for years for the visas to become available, they were told that Nihar would not be able to accompany them to the United States as one of Vibha’s dependents because he had already "aged out." Vibha, her husband, Umesh, and their son, Sanket, left Mumbai for the United States with heavy hearts because they knew that their family would never be the same without Nihar.
THERE are many misconceptions about PERM (Program Electronic Review Management process). Some people think that PERM is a special law that gives amnesty to undocumented individuals while some think that it is an application that would enable them to obtain a greencard right away or work or stay legally in the US beyond the period stated in their I-94 cards.
PERM is simply the program that the Department of Labor (DOL) uses after March 28, 2005 to process labor certification applications.
THERE is a saying that if you give a man a fish, you have fed him for a day, but if you teach a man how to fish, then you have fed him for a lifetime.
We have always believed in this saying. That is why for the past so many years, it has been the policy and mission of our law office to educate our clients and the immigrant community in general about their rights and privileges, as well as duties and responsibilities under current immigration laws, rules, and regulations.
DEAR Atty. Palacios,
I am a registered nurse who just arrived from the Philippines pursuant to an approved immigrant petition filed by my employer here in California . The U.S. Embassy in Manila issued me an immigrant visa and I expect to get my greencard anytime soon. I signed an employment agreement with my employer but I am now getting better offers from other hospitals. What are the consequences if I fail or refuse to work for the employer who petitioned me after getting my greencard?
Sincerely,
Maria
I am a tourist, and my I-94 is about to expire. What will happen to me when I become out-of-status?
Sincerely,
Maria
TODAY, we are going to discuss another type of nonimmigrant visa that might apply to your case. There is a nonimmigrant working visa available to foreign business entities with offices in the United States that wish to transfer employees to the United States office for temporary periods of time. It is called the L-1 visa, also sometimes referred to as the "intra-company transferee" visa.
The L-1 visa enables the transfer of managers, executives and specialized knowledge personnel to a United States office, subsidiary or affiliate company of the foreign business entity. To obtain an L-1 visa, the intra-company transferee must be able to prove that he has worked for the company outside the United States for at least one full year within the last three years as an executive, manager or employee with specialized knowledge.
