F4 India | Tips for Your Green Card Application

Do not submit Form I-485 within 90 days of arrival to the U.S. if you are a non-immigrant visa holder.

Would a green card holder be required to stay for a particular duration in the US?

Yes. As per the US Immigration Law, if a Green Card holder remains outside of the United States for more than a year without having a re-entry permit, they are considered to have abandoned their residency and thus lost their Green Card and permanent resident status.

Top 3 Legal Tips for Asylum Seekers

Immigration issues have been in the forefront of the news since President Trump took office, and many of those issues have concerned immigrants seeking asylum in the United States. Under international and U.S. law, asylum-seekers are afforded different considerations than other immigrations, and the asylum process can be different than applying for legal resident status or citizenship. (And the rules may be changing again, if the White House has its way.)

Here are the top three legal concerns and questions for seeking asylum under current U.S. immigration law, and where to turn for answers.

1. How to Apply for Asylum or Refugee Status

As noted above, the application process for asylum is a bit different. Refugees and asylum-seekers are fleeing persecution and seeking protection in the U.S. In order to be granted asylum, a person must prove that they are either a political or social refugee from their country of origin, and have a "well-founded fear" that they will suffer future persecution due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in particular social group.

2. Types of Asylum Applications

Not all asylum applications are the same. Asylees can either make affirmative or defensive asylum applications. Affirmative asylum applications must be filed within a year of a person's arrival in the United States and document conditions in the country, evidence of persecution, and reasons for fleeing. A defensive asylum application can be filed later, in response to deportation or removal proceedings, but may also allow a person who entered the country illegally to gain permanent residency or some alternative relief.

3. Changed Circumstances for Asylum Application

Life happens and circumstances can change. And changes in personal circumstances, changed conditions in the applicant's home country (or where they last lived), changes in immigration status (namely the applicant was a beneficiary in a previous immigration application and the qualifying relationship ends), and changes in U.S. law can all allow asylum-seekers to file for asylum after the one-year deadline.

Immigration law can be complicated, and personal circumstances and immigration policies are subject to change. Talk to an experienced immigration law attorney about your case.

U.S. Denying, Revoking Passports for Hispanics Born Near Mexico Border

Generally, applying for an American passport is pretty straightforward. You just need proof of U.S. citizenship, which, if you were born in the country, could be demonstrated with a valid birth certificate. But the State Department this week acknowledged it was denying passports to hundreds and possibly thousands of Hispanics with U.S. birth certificates, and demanding additional documentation to prove they were actually born in the country.

Why?

Fake Birth Certificates

According to the Washington Post, the current passport crackdown is focused on applicants born near the U.S.-Mexico border, and while the State Department contends it "has not changed policy or practice regarding the adjudication of passport applications," the Post's investigation indicates some applicants are being jailed in immigration detention centers while others with previously valid passports are having them revoked when they try to re-enter the country.

What's the issue? The possibility of fraud, according to the State Department. "[T]he U.S.-Mexico border region happens to be an area of the country where there has been a significant incidence of citizenship fraud," the agency told the Post, citing evidence from the 1950s through the '90s that showed some midwives and physicians along the border provided U.S. birth certificates to babies actually born in Mexico.

Cause for Concern

While some midwives admitting to faking U.S. birth certificates -- leading to similar passport crackdowns during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama presidencies -- a 2009 settlement following an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit that effectively brought an end to mass passport denials along the Texas-Mexico border. But immigration attorneys and advocates have noticed an uptick in passport denials and revocations. "We're seeing these kind of cases skyrocketing," Houston attorney Jennifer Correro told the Post.

"Individuals who are unable to demonstrate that they were born in the United States are denied issuance of a passport," the State Department said in a statement, adding that applicants "who have birth certificates filed by a midwife or other birth attendant suspected of having engaged in fraudulent activities, as well as applicants who have both a U.S. and foreign birth certificate, are asked to provide additional documentation establishing they were born in the United States." That documentation could include the birth mother's medical records indicating prenatal care, baptism certificates, or rental agreements from the time preceding the birth.
