FAQs
Can I travel abroad with an asylum status?
If you were granted political asylum in the US, you will have to request a travel document before you go abroad. You must submit the Form I-131 to get your Refugee travel document and guarantee that you will be allowed in again. That document will be valid for 1 year. Please note that if the place you intend to visit is the country you fled from, it might hurt your asylum status if it is determined that you lied about the persecution risk.
Can I legalize my status as an undocumented immigrant?
It depends on your situation. There are available mechanisms for undocumented immigrants to change their status. For example, an unlawful presence waiver for those who can prove there is a direct relative who would experience extreme hardship if they were removed from the country. Before going forward with any application, we strongly recommend that you visit an immigration attorney who can explain all pros and cons. As well as detail every step of the process.
What happens after the naturalization interview and citizenship test?
After your interview, USCIS will hand you a Form N-652 that gives you information about the results of your interview. Based on your English and civics exam results, USCIS can grant, continue, or deny your naturalization application. If you pass the civics exam and your English interview goes smoothly, you will receive a form that says that your application has been recommended for approval. In some cases, USCIS may need more information from you, so you must follow instructions in Form N-14.
Can an investor include family members in the same application?
Foreign investors are allowed to include spouses and unmarried children under 21 years old as dependents. They will also be screened before being granted a visa. Dependents are granted the same length of stay as the main applicant. If the main applicant gets a conditional visa, the dependents will also have to wait until such conditions are removed to get a permanent status.
Can any immigrant get immediate legal status after marrying a US citizen?
No, you will have to submit an application with all requirements and wait for approval. You might have to attend an interview and convince the immigration agent about the legitimacy of your union. Spouse petitions are carefully scrutinized to avoid immigration fraud and the interview is a crucial step for approval. You will also be asked to provide proof of your life together.
