to Hnchoksi about the R Visa
You are right. He has not filed yet. But I think you are wrong when you say
the application in order to get the R Visa involve Department of Labor (
labor Certification) and INS.
An immigration lawyer told him just to find the church and get the necessary
papers and then apply to the Embassy.
He still neeed to find the sponsor in order to the get those papers.
But question is : can he use the Ebassy in Canada or MExico ?
What he needs to prove after the Visa will expire he will come back home ?
And what he need to show ties on his homecountry ?
Thanx for your reply.
I reallu appreciate any advice you can give to me.

Needs to show sufficient ties to his country. ie., property, long standing
job and whatever else. There is no fixed set of proofs which makes it so
tricky.
Most likely he has to apply for the visa from his home country. I don't know.
This is the first question about an R visa I have ever seen...
If that is what that lawyer told him, tell him to get a second opinion. R
visas are very unusual, so not many lawyers do them.

Re: to Hnchoksi about the R Visa
See, for example,
http://www.usvisanews.com/nonimv-rvisa.html
I didn't notice (if the inquirer said it) what denomination was
involved. By and large, if one is ordained or otherwise recognized as
qualified, and if there is a legitimate religious institution in the
USA to welcome him/her (or being founded, and his/her arrival is
necessary or convenient for that organization's establishment) then
the visa should be issued in due course.
The application will undoubtedly be referred to the consular office of
the applicant's origin, especially if the applicant is not well known
(i.e., world famous).

I don't know which country would be the applicant's country of origin but here is the link to the info given by the US Diplomatic Mission to Australia which appears to be quite helpful :-
http://usembassy-australia.state.gov...visarelig.html
It also states that you must submit your application to the embassy or consulate having jurisdiction over your residence.
