Can a US citizen father petition for his son who works as a diplomat in the US?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
Interesting question. Yes. If the son is in A-1 status, he will need to give up the privileges associated with the A status. He does this by filing certain forms with the DOS when filing the green card application. To ensure that your son does meet all of the requirements, however, you do need to have his case completely vetted by a competent immigration attorney. Do not use my email as the basis for moving forward as A cases are unusual!

How many times can one take the citizenship test?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Every applicant for naturalization is given 2 opportunities to pass the exam with each application that is filed. The applicant can get a third opportunity if he/she files an appeal on form n-336 and pay the filing fee of $650. Since the fees for an appeal and a new application ($680) are nearly the same, it may make better sense to just file a new application. There are no limits on how many times a person can apply for naturalization as long as he/she meets the eligibility requirements.

L1-B Visa expiring in Dec 2013 but I94 valid till March 2016, am I legally eligible to work in the US?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Mary Lyn Tanawan Sanga (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Mary Lyn T. Sanga A Professional Corporation
The validity period in your visa stamp determines when you can travel to the United States using that visa. It does not determine the period you can stay legally in the United States. Your authorized stay in the United States in your classification of admission is determined by your I-94. You are allowed to stay and work legally in the United States in L-1 status until the expiration of your I-94, provided you do not violate your L-1 status or otherwise fail to maintain lawful L-1 status. You may be eligible to change status to H-1B next year. Changing status to H-1B requires that you are in lawful status as of the time of filing (the earliest being April 1) and as of the time of requested start date (the earliest being October 1). Since your L-1 I-94 will not expire until March 16, you may be able to meet these two requirements. Please note that USCIS will look for maintenance of status at a minimum up to October 1, so you have to make sure that you will maintain your L-1 employment until you are granted change of status to H-1B.
