Asylum is a form of protection which allows an individual to remain in the United States instead of being removed (deported) to a country where he or she fears persecution or harm. Under U.S. law, people who flee their countries because they fear persecution can apply for asylum. If they are granted asylum, this gives them protection and the right to stay in the United States. Those who are granted asylum are called asylees. Every year people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to: Race Religion Nationality Membership in a particular social group Political opinion Can I Stay Back in the United States if I am Eligible for Asylum? ● If you are eligible for asylum, you may be permitted to remain in the United States ● To apply for asylum, file a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of  Removal, within one year of your arrival to the United States ● There is no fee to apply for asylum Can I Include My Spouse and Children?

U.S. immigration law allows asylees to apply for lawful permanent resident (LPR) status after they have been physically present in the U.S. for at least one year since being granted asylum To apply for a Green Card, file a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status You must submit a separate I-485 application packet for yourself and, if applicable, for each family member who received derivative asylum based on your case For more information about Green Cards, see USCIS’s Green Cards for Asylees  page However, you will not be eligible to apply for asylum if you: Filed your application after being in the United States for more than one year However, you may still qualify for an exception if you show

Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is the official green card application. A foreign national physically present in the United States must submit Form I-485 to become a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder). Filing a green card application can be a very complicated, time-consuming, and lengthy process. Therefore, one must know all the aspects of the process with heart. Check Your Eligibility First  Determining a green card application eligibility can be tricky since it depends on various factors. However, in general, to be eligible for it, an alien must meet the following criteria: Must be physically present in the United States. The immigration petition must have been approved or submitted. For example – Special Employment-Based (I-140), Family Based (I-130), etc. Petitions are subject to the numerical annual quota for immigrant visas, etc. Must enter the country lawfully Have to maintain a lawful status throughout the stay in the US.  Additionally, according to USCIS, you cannot submit an I-485 application if you came into the US – as a crewman while in transit to another country as a witness or informant; or You are in ‘deportable’ proceedings due to terrorism. Major Requirement Initially, a visa petition (for example, I-140, I-130, etc.) is required. For most applicants, someone else needs to file the petition on their behalf. However, in some circumstances, one might be able to file on their petition.  As listed on the form I-485, a person can submit an I-485 based on seven major categories: family-based (I-130), employment-based (I-140), special immigrant, asylum or refugee, human trafficking victim or crime victim, special programs, and additional options. You have to fall in any of these categories to apply for an adjustment of status application.  When should I submit? When someone should file an I-485 application depends on their petition category and visa availability. For a family-based petition, if you have the Form I-130 approval notice and an immigrant visa number is immediately available, you can proceed with your Green Card application. You can also file Form I-130 and I-485 if you are an immediate relative since an immigrant visa number will be immediately available.  Based on the employment immigrant petition, you may submit your application if you have an approved I-140 petition or you are filing the application with Form I-140, and an immigrant visa number will be immediately available to you. For a fiancé-based petition (Form I-129F), you may file an I-485 application once you come to the US on a K-1 visa and marry the US citizen who sponsored your I-129F petition within 90 days of your entry. If someone entered the United States as a K-2 child, their K-1 parent could also file Form I-485. If you have refugee or asylum status, you must be physically present in the United States for at least a year following the granting of refugee status and continue to meet refugee and asylee status requirements to file I-485 application.  Cost USCIS filing fees for I-485 vary by age,

Hiring an H-1B worker whether on transfer/new or concurrent can be crucial for employers. They have to go through some essential steps to be able to hire such employees.  For hiring a new H-1B worker who is already in the U.S. under the same status, he/she must have been selected in the lottery process to be eligible. H1B visa holders can change their employer while in the US under a process which is known as the H1B transfer. On the other hand, An H1B petition filed on behalf of a foreign national working in the U.S. under an H1B, seeking authorization to allow him to be employed in another job concurrent with his current H1B employment, is commonly referred to as “Concurrent H1B.” One can begin working with his/her second employer as soon as the new H1B petition is filed and received by the USCIS. This means that the H-1B transfer rules apply where one doesn’t have to secure approval before working. However, H1B visa stamping is required for second employment after the H1B petition has been approved. Important First Step: Check the immigration status of the person you want to hire: •If you want to hire someone who needs a sponsor in order to keep working for you, • They want to change or extend their current immigration status. • When an employer files an H-1B visa petition for someone who is already in the United States, it is asking USCIS to change and/or extend that person’s immigration status. • It is assumed that they have an existing status that hasn’t run out. Note: If someone’s status has expired, it is not easy (and almost impossible legally) to change or extend their status. In these situations, talking to an immigration lawyer can help figure out if there are other options. Steps to take before hiring an H-1B worker who is already in the U.S. legally As the employer, you must first figure out the prevailing wage for the job. This is the statistical average wage for workers in the same job in the same area. What does the United States Department of Labor say is the Prevailing Wage? “The prevailing wage rate is the average wage paid to workers in a certain job in the area where the job will be done,” says the definition. Note The “prevailing wage” is the wage that applies under a collective bargaining agreement, like for a public-school teacher, or, if there is no union, it is the average wage paid to workers in a certain job in a certain place. When there is no collective bargaining agreement, there are three ways to figure out the prevailing wage: 1. Send the job description to the DOL through an online system to get a formal prevailing wage determination (PWD). 2. Look at the DOL’s wage data and figure out the right job and salary level on your own. 3. Use a private survey of wages that follows DOL rules. You can either do your own

P3 Visa: Things You Need To Know  The P3 visa is a temporary work visa for foreign artists or entertainers coming to be part of a culturally unique program in the US. It could be to perform, teach, or coach. The P-3 visa is a non-immigrant visa which permits temporary entry into the US. The USA provides a number of short-term work visas upon fulfilling some special criteria. P-3 visa is one of them. This visa may be granted to an individual or as a group. Such events can be either commercially motivated or not commercially motivated. P-3 is not an immigrant visa. The visa holder can stay in the USA for up to one year and the time can be extended up on application.  Eligibility Criteria for P3 Visa A person needs to meet following eligibility criteria to get P-3 visa in US: •        The purpose of visiting the United States should be to develop, interpret, represent, coach, or teach a unique or traditional ethnic, folk, cultural, musical, theatrical, or performing event. •        The applicant must be sponsored by an organization or agent in the United States. •        Applicants must be in good health and have a good character. •        A Petition for Non-Immigrant Worker, particularly the Form I-129, must be filed by the US employer or agent. ·         Every presentation and event should be culturally distinct. Is a P-3 visa an immigrant visa? The P-3 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States. A P-3 visa classification may be granted to individuals or groups of artists or entertainers who are coming to the United States to develop, to perform, to teach, or to coach as artists or entertainers, individually or as part of a group, under a culturally distinct program. The initial period of admission for an alien described in subsection (101)(a)(15)(A)(iii) of the Act shall not exceed three years, and extensions of temporary stay may be granted for periods of not more than two years. Can a P-3 Visa holder work in the USA?  Important Aspects of the O, P, and R Visas Listed below are some of the benefits and drawbacks of these specialized work visas: • You may legally work in the United States for your O, P, or R sponsor. To change jobs, however, you must apply to change your status or obtain a new visa. • O, P, and R visas are readily available. • P visas will be issued for the duration necessary to complete a specific event, tour, or season, with a maximum of one year. However, P-1 athletes may be admitted for a maximum of five years with one five-year extension. • As long as your visa stamp and status are valid, you may travel in and out of the U.S. or remain continuously.  Can a P-3 visa be extended?  Primarily under the conditions of your cultural performance

Most family-based immigrants and some employment-based immigrants use this form to show they have adequate means of financial support and are not likely to rely on the U.S. government for financial support. To be an I-864 sponsor, you must be “domiciled” in the United States, among other things. This means that you must have your “principal residence” (where you live most of the time) in the U.S. and plan to keep it there for the foreseeable future. If you live outside the U.S. but claim to be a U.S. citizen, you will need to send in a written explanation and proof of your claim along with your Form I-864. Your claim will only be accepted if you can show that you are working abroad for a company with ties to the U.S. or that you are temporarily living abroad for some other reason. Americans Who Work Abroad for the U.S. related Companies U.S. citizens who live abroad but work for one of the following companies with ties to the U.S. will be considered U.S. domiciled: ❖      The U.S. government: This includes not only embassies and consulates, but also the U.S. military and other U.S. agencies. ❖      U.S. research institutions: This includes a set of institutions listed in 8 C.F.R. 316.20 of the federal regulations. It lists the American institutions of research, public international organizations, and designations under the International Immunities Act. (a)A public international group in which the U.S. is required by law to take part: This includes a list of organizations in 8 C.F.R. 316.20 (b) of the federal regulations and (c)A U.S.-owned company that works to develop foreign trade and commerce for the U.S. This includes partnerships, registered for-profit or not-for-profit entities, and the parents or subsidiaries of such entities that are involved at least in part in activities related to the exchange of goods and services between the U.S. and a foreign country. ❖      A religious group or group that includes people of different faiths that has an official presence in the U.S. (where the employee is a priest, minister, or missionary). In some of these cases, but not all of them, “employment” could mean not only full-time, permanent work, but also work under grants, contracts, or other types of services. There is also no strong requirement that this kind of work be the only (or even the main) reason the employee is in another country. The answer will depend on the details of your situation. (Talk to an immigration lawyer to find out if this is true for you.) As proof, you should send letters from employers on official letterhead. (Employees of U.S. companies should also show proof that their business was started and is owned by them.) Other U.S. citizens who live temporarily outside the country U.S. citizens who live abroad will be considered U.S. domiciled if they left the U.S. only for a limited time (however long that time may be) with the intention (at the time of

If you are a religious worker and you are looking to come to work in the United States, the visa that you are looking for is the R-1 visa. R-1 is a nonimmigrant visa for noncitizens who seek to temporarily work in the United States in a religious occupation. In order to be eligible for a R-1 visa, you have to be employed by one of the following: Non-profit religious organization in the United States; Religious organization that is authorized by a group tax exemption holder to use its group tax exemption; or Non-profit organization which is affiliated with a religious denomination in the United States. Also, three types of religious workers can receive an R-1 visa, given that they fulfill the other requirements. These categories are, Minister of the denomination of the US based employer Those who are in a religious vocation (nuns, monks, priests etc.) Those who are in a religious occupation (those who perform day-to-day works at a religious organization, such as missionaries, religious instructors etc.) Since the R-1 visa is for nonprofit religious organization employees, in order to be eligible, both the employer and the employee has to pass some eligibility criteria. Eligibility Criteria The eligibility criteria for the employee are that, they have to have at least, 2 years of continuous membership in any US based religious organization immediately preceding the petition and 2 years of experience in any religious organization  immediately preceding the petition after they have turned 14 years old The employee must also be coming to the US to work full time (at least 35 hours per week) at the organization as a religious worker. On the other hand, the eligibility criteria for the employer are that, they have to be, A nonprofit religious organization, or A part of a larger nonprofit religious denomination. To prove this eligibility, both the employee and the employer have to provide some documents as evidence. Processing If you want to get an R-1 visa, at first your employer in the US would need to file Form I-129 to USCIS on behalf of you. Also, at the time of the petition, both the employer (petitioner) and you, the employee (beneficiary), will have to provide proof of your eligibility for the R-1 visa. If the USCIS finds that the documents you and your employer have provided satisfy its requirements, then you will be granted an R-1 status. After that, if you are outside the United States, you will need to obtain your Visa through a US consulate by submitting a DS-160 and scheduling an interview. The time it will take for you to receive the visa depends on a number of issues.  How much time it takes to process an R-1 petition can vary. The R-1 petition approval includes an on-site inspection by the USCIS as one of its eligibility criteria. If this inspection has already been completed previously, the R-1 petition can qualify for premium processing, which is faster than regular processing. For regular processing, the R-1

H-1B visas are employer-specific, so their holders are only permitted to work for the company that applied for the visa. Entrepreneurship can be challenging for H-1B workers since there must be an employer/employee relationship between the H-1B visa holder and the petitioning company. H-1B employees may still have choices, though. Certain conditions apply to the ownership of businesses by people with H-1B status. An H-1B visa holder, however, is not permitted to work for themselves or for any other business save the one that filed the petition. Even if the labor is free, individuals risk losing their underlying H-1B status if they work for a company other than the H-1B petitioner. A limited liability company (LLC) can only be owned by an H-1B holder if they are a passive investor who holds no employment relations with the business. Their activities with the LLC must not constitute unauthorized work, and the LLC cannot sponsor their H-1B visa. They must stay employed by the organization that sponsored their H-1B visa.  Getting Sponsored by own business: While USCIS permits one to get sponsored by your own business, you have to meet certain criteria requirements. These are: ·         Establish a legitimate employer-employee relationship. ·         Your employer should have the authority to hire and fire you as necessary. ·         The company should continue after firing you ·         The company was not created to obtain a visa ·         H1B Position will still require a bachelor’s/higher degree ·         The business plan must incorporate the hiring of US workers; Getting income from own company while on H1B: While on an H-1B visa, one cannot participate in the day-to-day administration of their own business, and in a similar vein, they cannot get a paycheck from any employer other than the one that is sponsoring their application. Opening a business in the U.S.: Anyone with business startup plans may have an approach in place for doing so. However, if you’re thinking of forming a business in the US, you can get a quick overview from the processes below: ·         The individual should continue working for the H1B-sponsored company. The cornerstone of an American visa would be that. Avoid leaving the H1B sponsor to launch a business since one may eventually lose the status and be removed from the US. Before opting to leave the H1B job, switch the visa to another nonimmigrant visa. ·         Have a comprehensive business strategy that demonstrates your company’s potential for commercial success. ·         Decide which business type you want to incorporate – such as LLC or a corporation. ·         Create the company from scratch and participate as a stakeholder or passive investment without affecting your H1B status. Instead of getting involved in the operational side of the firm, find competent partners who can operate it. ·  

The U.S. immigration policy promotes maintaining intact families, particularly between parents and their offspring. It’s common for a child to qualify for an immigrant visa or permanent resident status through their parents, therefore it’s crucial to know who the law considers to be a “child” for visa reasons. For the purposes of obtaining a visa, a person must (generally) be younger than 21 years old and unmarried to qualify as a “child.” In accordance with U.S. immigration law, a person is referred to as a “adult son or daughter” on and after their 21st birthday. Sons and daughters who are adults occasionally qualify for visas, but they do not enjoy the same benefits as “children.” It occasionally occurs that a person who was eligible for a “child” visa at the start of the application process turns 21 before receiving a U.S. immigrant visa because the visa process might take a long time. This “aging out” can cause issues because the legislation stipulates that the applicant must be younger than 21 when the visa or green card is accepted. The Child Status Protection Act, a piece of legislation, aids children in dealing with this “aging out” issue. It enables certain adults over 21 to be granted a visa or green card as though they were still “children.”  The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) helps Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens and the CSPA Helps Family-Based Preference Relatives and Derivative Beneficiaries for more information on how it operates. Married Persons No Longer Count as “Children” A “child” who is petitioned by a parent under the category for children must always be unmarried. Married sons and daughters of American citizens may occasionally be eligible for a visa, but they do not enjoy the same benefits as “children,” and they will probably have to wait years for their application to be approved. Children who are awaiting a U.S. visa and considering marriage should, therefore, grasp the immigration repercussions before getting married. Legally Required Relationship Between “Child and Parent or Parents” U.S. immigration law defines children more broadly than merely biological children born to married parents, so be sure to take a close look at the details of the law.  Legitimated Children Through a legal procedure known as “legitimation,” a person might legally become someone else’s “child.” This typically happens when a father who wasn’t legally wed to the child’s mother at the time of the child’s birth tries to establish or claim legal custody of the child as his own. For visa reasons, a child must be recognized as a “child” by the law of their place of residence or domicile, or by the law of the father’s place of residence or domicile, whether that be inside or outside the United States. Additionally, the legitimation must occur when the child is in the legal possession of the legitimating parent or guardian and before the child turns 18 years old. Children Born in Wedlock The least complicated parent-child relationship is when the potential visa applicant’s mother

The USA has some of the best universities in the world, and the student community and study opportunities are the most diverse here. Excellent quality of education, sophisticated educational programs, modern settings, and plentiful possibilities have made the USA one of the most desired destinations of study for international students. International Students will need to get an F-1 (non-immigrant visa) if they want to study in academic institutions in the USA. Visa holders of this category must complete their educational programs before their I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status) expires. I-20 is provided by the US College or University showing that it has accepted the student, and the student can attend the courses. International Students of both undergraduate and graduate programs must need an active I-20  to study in the USA. General Requirements for Admission Each academic institution in the United States has its unique admission standards. However, there are some requirements that they all have in common. Both the international undergraduate and graduate students need to meet the following criteria (applicability varies) to get admission to US colleges and universities: High School Diploma/ Degrees A bachelor’s degree if applying for a graduate program English proficiency test scores (TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo Test) Transcripts of previous academic records Motivation letter/ Statement of Purpose/Admission Essay Letter of Recommendations (LOR) Proof of financial solvency (Bank Statement/ affidavit) CV/Resume SAT/ACT (for Undergraduates) GRE/GMAT/LSAT (for graduates) Valid International Passport Writing Sample (for graduates) Admission Terms Colleges in the USA usually accept students in three intakes- Fall, Spring, and Summer. However, the highest numbers of international students are admitted to US colleges in the Fall intake. The fall admission decision process by the university usually starts in January and ends in April/ May, depending on the programs. For the Spring session, the admission process usually begins in September, and the class starts in January.  Admission Process  The universities mention the application deadlines on their websites well in advance so that the students can organize their applications and submit them on time. Early applications also stand a chance for various scholarships provided by universities or governments. All US universities and colleges have an official website where students can submit their applications to the university application portals. They can also contact the university/college admission office for any queries regarding their application. After opening an account for the application, students need to pay an application fee and submit the aforementioned documents, which are the general admission requirements. Once students get admission, they need to collect their I-20 from the universities’ international admission office and get an F1 visa to attend the classes. F1 Visa Application Process  To complete the F1 visa application process, an international student goes through the following steps:  Collect the admission documents/ I-20 from the admiting institution Apply online for F-1 visa through the DS-160 form. Pay the Visa application fee. Pay the SEVIS I-901 fee. Schedule the F-1 visa interview. Submit the file with the required F-1 visa documents. Attend the student/ F-1 visa interview. F1

Let’s think about having a friend who wants to visit the United States, and you’re wondering if you can assist him. Sponsoring an immigrant is an essential part when you are looking to help a friend or a family member to come to the U.S. permanently. After all, having friends and family nearby is preferable, and traveling back and forth to your home country can be exhausting. This article will teach you how to sponsor an immigrant friend to come to the United States. What exactly is a Sponsor? A sponsor is someone who agrees to financially support an immigrant’s stay in the United States. A sponsor can be a family member, a group of people, a company, or even someone you don’t know. You will have certain responsibilities as a sponsor for your sponsoring immigrant. A sponsor must be financially secure and able to assist the immigrant financially when necessary. How to Help an Immigrant Friend? A friend cannot be personally sponsored to enter the country and receive a green card. This is only permitted for family members. What you can do is, support your friend’s immigration as a co-sponsor. For instance, if your friend has family in the United States who are American citizens or holders of green cards, they can serve as your friend’s sponsor. By submitting Form I-864, on the other hand, you might co-sponsor your friend’s application.  Remember that being a sponsor carries with it some ongoing responsibilities to the U.S. government, which are detailed below. Conditions to Sponsor Immigrant Friend You must meet the following criteria in order to sponsor a foreign national entering the United States: A citizen or legal resident of the United States; Having proof of residence in the United States or one of its territories, being at least 18 years old when completing Form I-130; Possess sufficient resources to satisfy the financial needs; and Complete the I-864 form. It is significant to remember that if you have a U.S. visa, you cannot sponsor an immigrant. Form I-864, Affidavit of Support An individual agrees to use their financial resources to help the intending immigrant listed on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support under Section 213A of the INA. When an applicant becomes a lawful permanent residence, the person who signed the affidavit of support becomes the sponsor. Typically, the sponsor is the person who petitioned for immigration on behalf of the intended immigrant. How to File an Affidavit of Support  When your friend has been scheduled for an interview for an immigrant visa with a consular official abroad or is preparing to submit an application for adjustment to permanent resident status with USCIS or with an Immigration Court in the United States, you should complete Form I-864. You must submit your most recent U.S. federal income tax return as well as evidence of your ongoing employment. You must give a justification if you didn’t have to file a tax return in any of these years. This packet of information should be given

H-1B is a nonimmigrant classification that applies to people who wish to perform services in a specialty occupation, services of exceptional merit and ability relating to a Department of Defense (DOD) cooperative research and development project, or services as a fashion model of distinguished merit or ability. It is an employment-based, employer-sponsored nonimmigrant status that allows a non-citizen immigrant to work within the United States admitted for up to three years living within or outside of the USA.  Гид по мобильной версии Sol казино для россиян Гид по мобильной версии Sol казино для россиян Мобильные устройства стали неотъемлемой частью нашей жизни, и вместе с этим развиваются и возможности для развлечений.

If you want to seek asylum in the United States, chances are that you have heard the term “Convention Against Torture” in passing. It is possible that you may be subject to persecution and/or torture if you were to return to the country you are seeking asylum from. Convention Against Torture, or CAT, provides some protections to asylum seeker which are in some ways different from asylum. In that case, it is worth knowing what constitutes “torture” and whether you are eligible to seek protection against such possibilities. We will discuss these eligibility requirements as well as how you can seek this protection in this article. The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the “Torture Convention”), often shortened to “CAT”, was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10 December 1984. The Convention was subsequently ratified by 20 States, and entered into force on 26 June 1987. States that have signed the convention are obliged to respect and ensure the right of all persons to be free from torture and ill treatment. This means that if a person applies for CAT protection to a state that has signed the convention, and that person qualifies all the requirements for CAT protection to be granted, the state cannot deny that person protection. The states must also ensure that the mechanisms that allow people to obtain this protection are always funded. As a signatory of the convention, the US upholds these obligations. Now let’s take a look at what CAT protection actually is.  Definition of CAT Protection: For a person seeking asylum in the US, CAT protection is a mandatory form of relief if they meet all of the required elements. That is, the U.S. government cannot return an asylum seeker to their home country if there are substantial reasons for believing that the asylum seeker will be in danger of being subjected to torture in their home country. To be qualified for this protection, however, the person in question must at first satisfy a few requirements.  If you are seeking CAT protection, in order to qualify you have to show that if you are returned to the country which you are seeking protection from, you will probably be subjected to harm. It is very important that this harm falls firmly under the definition of “torture” that is specified in the CAT. You might be denied protection if the harm you are fearing does not constitute torture according to the CAT, so the best idea at this point is probably to consider taking counsel from an attorney. It is important to remember that the goal of CAT protection is not concerned with finding out whether or not a person was tortured in their home country before seeking asylum in the US, it is to prohibit a person’s return to a country where they will be in danger of probably facing torture and/or inhuman treatment in the future. For this reason, even if you were tortured in the past, it does
