Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

I find this post to be confusing. On 8 May you posted a notice of refusal which in no way was inconsistent with a possible request for waiver of inadmissibility. (In fact, a 212(b) refusal is a...

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

As a retired immigration lawyer, my reaction was not to be “gobsmacked.” Rather, I recall the line from the movie “Hud” that there was a “ failure to communicate.” OP is providing a...

Re: Establishing Healthcare/Insurance Costs

There is a quirk in US immigration law that can trip up family immigration — most immigrant categories allow for derivative classification of spouses and children. However, there is NO derivative...

Re: GOP senator moves to end dual citizenship

Section 101(a) of the US Immigration & Nationality Act defines alien, nationality, and “National of the United States.” Curiously, citizen is not specifically defined other than by examples...

Re: Need lawyer in US for WILL to be used in UK

Re: GOP senator moves to end dual citizenship

The good senator’s website links to the actual proposal. The language about what the dual national has to do strikes me as quite vague. When it comes to naturalized citizens, it strikes me that a...

Arrests out of interviews

When I was in practice, San Diego was a dangerous place to apply.

Re: Need lawyer in US for WILL to be used in UK

I think your UK solicitor is spot on. I would suggest that whatever Texas lawyer you retain should be in touch with your UK solicitor. Rest assured that the Texas lawyer should have no problem with...

Re: DS-160 form for B1/B2 Visa question help please

Curious. My experience from when I was in practice dealt with paper applications (under the old “OF” rather than “DS” designations). I find it intriguing that use of “none” freezes the...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

It should be noted that the receipt notice for the N-400 naturalization application includes an extension of card expiration for 24 months. In other words, if you apply for citizenship, no need to...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
