The United States Immigration Quota System
Under the immigration laws of the United States, a quota is placed on the number and makeup of immigrants who can legally enter the United States. Because the demand (the number of people wanting to legally enter the United States) outweighs the supply (the number of Green Cards awarded every year), there is often a substantial waiting list for entry into the US. The following is a partial list of the different types of immigrant status, with a short description of what that category entails: Family-Sponsored Immigration - IR: Eligible if an immediate relative is a citizen of the United States. The citizen must be at least 21 years of age if he or she wishes to sponsor his parents. There is...
Cancellation of Removal
One of the forms of relief some foreign nationals who unhappily find themselves in removal proceedings can apply for is called cancellation of removal. There are two types, one for people who have a green card but stand to lose it due to some violation or criminal ground, and the other for those aliens who never had a green card. "LPR" means "lawful permanent resident," or green card holder - so the first type is often called LPR cancellation, and the second type non-LPR cancellation. Each one has its own requirements, but the lynchpin is usually the showing of hardship. The law doesn't care about hardship to the foreign national. Instead, it focuses on hardship to family members (spouses and...
I'm Over 21, But the Law Says I'm Under 21
Question: I know that the Child Protection Act has been passed on August 6, 2002. However, I am still confused if I fall under this provision. Can you help to clarify? Answer: Yes. The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) makes certain allowances for people who have become older than 21 years old, but can still have their applications processed as though they are under 21 years old.

These people will be able to be considered to be able to immediately apply to adjust their status to that of a Lawful Permanent Resident, even though they may be over 21 years old. If you are in the U.S. and want to adjust your status to that of a Lawful...
Question: I have been in the United States for 13 years and have worked illegally the entire time. My boss just came to me last week and said the Social Security Department has sent him notification that there is something wrong with my Social Security Number and that he must terminate my position. Two days later I got a letter from the Immigration and Naturalization Service that I am in deportation proceedings. Do I have any hope? Answer: First, the Social Security Department has been getting much stricter on notifying employers when a Social Security Card does not match the employees information and they are under an obligation to notify the employee. Previously, they had done this only when there...
EB-5 Investment Visa Requirements
Question: I'm going to invest $1,000,000 from the foreign investment for the EB-5 investment Visa. I am not sure if I correctly invested for needs of the EB-5 Investment Visa. Can you help? What is authorized under current immigration laws? Answer: the rules define 'invest' to mean the contribution of capital. The EB-5 Investment Visa defines a debt financing arrangement between you and the new commercial concern in which the alien is acting only as a creditor doesn't constitute a contribution of capital. As a result, you can't determine the requisite investment of capital if the 'investment' is made in the shape of a loan to the company. As an example, a contribution of capital in exchange for a...
My Mother Became a US Citizen and Now I Have to...
Question: My mother filed a petition for me some years back. I am from the Philippines. She was a Lawful Permanent Resident at the time. Just last year she became a U.S. Citizen. I was sure that now it would take faster for me to get my Green Card. Unfortunately when I called, they told me that the Philippines, unlike the rest of the world has too much of a backlog on that category, and that it would take about 5 years longer because my mother became a U.S. Citizen. I think that is so unfair. Is there anything I can do? Answer: Yes. The President of the United States has just signed a bill referred to as the Child Status Protection Act. While a large part of the bill deals exclusively with persons...

Travel Visa Requirements - Best Practices
First, a cautionary tale: At the age of twenty, I flew from Sydney, Australia to Saigon, Vietnam with a layover in Singapore. Caught up in the excitement, I failed to research the travel visa requirements for Americans. Turns out I had to learn this lesson the hard way... After almost an entire day of airplanes and airports, I arrived in Vietnam, sans visa. Within five minutes I was shipped back to Singapore on the exact same plane.

Ever wondered if you could deal directly with manufacturers... in China?! It's easier than you think. First Impressions: I visited China in Autumn 2005 with a group of business associates and must admit that I was amazed, both by the warm reception we received wherever we went, and at the factories we toured. Having never been there before, and having only news accounts of "difficulties" between China and the U.S. to fuel my imagination, I assumed things would be overly formal and official at best... at worst, cold... and we would be "watched" constantly. I was so wrong on both counts. We were treated as welcome visitors and had only to ask the hotel staff for something to have it almost magically...

Having a High "havingness Quotient"
"You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration." ~ James Allen Imagine that you've gotten everything you ever wanted... the life partner, the house, the car, the clothes, the physique, the friends, the money, the lifestyle… Now what? If you're like most humans, it's likely that you'll sabotage yourself in "having it all". We here in the Western world are actually socialized to be in continuous striving; that is, we don't know how to have and enjoy everything we've worked for and received because if we have it, our culture says we're not working hard enough, or infers that we don't know what to do if we don't have tangible goals.
