Casselberry, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Hello, for our clients who do not have OPT stem extension, we have sometimes changed their status to an H3 traineeship visa.  These are difficult to prove, but we have had success. It will give you a maximum of 18 months.  You can also look around for other companies to sponsor you.  We are filing employment-based cases for those with only a bachelor's degree (in fact we just to an i140 approval for an EB3 case yesterday, without an RFE).  If you would like to get a legal fee estimate, please send an email to me at dawn@legacyimmigrationattorney.com.

Question 23 on part 12, page 14 of theN-400 naturalization application asks whether you have ever been arrested, cited, or detained by any law enforcement officer (including any immigration official or any official of the US Armed Forces) for any reason? That would seemingly include your traffic accident with alcohol. Although the naturalization officer may look at the offense again – if your immigrant file shows the fact that you received the immigrant visa despite your disclosure of the offense previously, that likely means that he or she will not look at it that closely in terms of inadmissibility as a crime or other ground of inadmissibility. More of a concern may be whether you have made a misrepresentation in your naturalization application which could lead to a finding of ineligibility for not having good moral character. Such may depend upon the officer’s perception of your forthrightness at the interview and whether the officer gave you a chance to correct your account, and whether you were forthright in doing so. If you continually denied that you had any incident with the law and the officer had to in effect drag it out of you, the officer may consider whether a misrepresentation was made.
