Success Stories: 3-year O-1 Visa Renewal Approved for Ecuadorian Actor/Comedian at USCIS

We recently received an approval for an O-1 Visa Renewal for an Ecuadorian National who is a commercially-successful Comic/Comedian of extraordinary ability in stage and television. It was approved without a request for additional evidence and granted for the full three years requested. Congratulations to our artist client and his U.S. petitioner!

Extraordinary ability for artists who work in film and television have a slightly higher evidentiary standard, called extraordinary achievement, than other O-1 artists whose work must meet the lower legal standard of distinction. Receipt of a significant national award, among other distinctions may satisfy this extraordinary achievement standard along with other evidence of extraordinary ability.

Success Stories: Naturalization Based on Marriage to U.S. Citizen Spouse Granted for Permanent Resident from the Philippines

We recently had an approval for naturalization (getting U.S. Citizenship) for a Philippine national married to a U.S. Citizen. Congratulations to our clients!

U.S. citizenship is a legal status that offers many benefits and responsibilities, including the ability to vote in US federal elections, serve on a jury, travel with a US passport, and bring family members to the United States. Importantly, once obtained, US citizenship cannot be abandoned or lost by spending extended periods of time outside of the United States (as is the case with permanent residence).

If you are a permanent resident married to a US Citizen and have continuously lived with your spouse for the last three years, then you may be eligible to naturalize in three years instead of the standard five years. In this case, you must still meet the other requirements for naturalization in order to qualify.

If you are interested in finding out your eligibility to apply for naturalization based on your marriage to a US citizen spouse and would like our assistance, please contact us for a consultation. Follow us on Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , LinkedIn and Tumblr , for up-to-date immigration news. Please note that past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Success Stories: I-130 Spousal and Stepchild Petition Approved for Philippine National

We recently received an approval at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of a spousal and stepchild petition for nationals of the Philippines. Congratulations to our clients!

The U.S. citizen petitioner filed the I-130 petition for his spouse and minor stepchild. A stepchild may be petitioned to immigrate to the United States, as long as the marriage creating the step-relationship occurred before the child turned 18.

Upon approval of the petition, the beneficiaries have to consular process at a U.S. Consulate abroad and the petitioner needs to provide an affidavit of support which demonstrates their ability to financially provide for their family. Learn more about the next steps for consular processing after your I-130 application is approved and timing considerations. Please note that past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Success Story: Immigrant Visa Approval for Indian National at U.S. Consulate in Singapore

We recently received an approval for a spousal based immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate in Singapore for an Indian national. Congratulations to our client!

Our client was lawfully residing in Singapore and therefore applied for her immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate there. Her immigrant visa is based on an approved I-130 spousal petition to her same-sex wife. Although same-sex marriage is not legal in Singapore, the U.S. Consulate still issues marriage based visas since same-sex marriage is legal in the United States and our client was married in a jurisdiction where same-sex marriage is legal.

Success Stories: O-1 Extraordinary Ability Visa Approval for Iranian Puppeteer

We recently received an O-1 approval for a Puppeteer who is an Iranian national. Congratulations to our client!

In this case, we received a request for evidence (RFE) after our initial submission which claimed that we did not submit sufficient evidence of the applicant's extraordinary ability. We responded with a very detailed cover letter going over all of the initial evidence again as well as supplementing the record with additional evidence. The petition was approved 10 days after the RFE response was received.

Success Stories: Green Card Approved at NY Field Office for Peruvian National

We recently received an approval for lawful permanent residence (a green card) for a Peruvian national who was petitioned by his US citizen wife. Congratulations to our clients!

Our client initially entered the U.S. in 1999 on a tourist visa and had overstayed. Although he had lived in the U.S. without status for over 20 years and had worked without authorization during this time, he still qualified to adjust to lawful permanent resident status because the law provides an automatic waiver for an overstay and unauthorized work for those adjusting based upon an immediate relative petition. Immediate relatives eligible for this waiver are spouses of U.S. citizens, children under 21 who have a parent who is a U.S. citizen, or parents of U.S. citizens over 21 years of age. This exception is only for these relationships. Note that this waiver does not exist for these same relationships if the petitioner is a lawful permanent resident. The petition was approved without an interview.
