The stand-by time to get an immigrant visa to the U.S. in light of a family relationship can be very lengthy, depending on the kind of relationship and the country you are immigrating from. These stand-by times have kept relatives isolated from one another for a long time, in many cases for several years. As of late, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has declared another strategy that would permit specifically immigrants from Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to enter the U.S. on advance parole while they wait for an immigrant visa to become available.
This new approach is accessible to intending immigrants from Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who are recipients of a supported Structure I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. In reporting the strategy, DHS has expressed that it will send invitations to specific U.S. residents and LPR applicants who have relatives in those nations with an approved I-130 and are sitting tight for immigrant visas to open up. When DHS welcomes the candidates, they might present the I-134A, Online Request to be a Supporter and Declaration of Financial Support. USCIS will then give guidelines to the beneficiary, which incorporate applying for advance parole utilizing the new CBP One Application.
Beneficiaries of this new policy might remain in the U.S. as per advance parole for as long as three years while they sit tight for an immigrant visa to open up. When an immigrant visa opens up, they might apply to enroll for permanent residence while staying in the U.S. While on an advance parole, parolees can get work authorization and a U.S. social security number.
Suppose you believe you might be qualified as a petitioner or beneficiary for this new DHS policy. In that case, you should contact a reputable immigration law firm like The Orange Law Firm PLLC and attorney Karan Joshi, to examine the application process and decide whether you might be qualified.
