The DV2011 lottery is the easiest way to become a part of the US populace, through a very random, but completely unbiased and impartial process. The best part is that it is a fairly simple process, unlike the usual hassles and complications one would expect to encounter in such a process. All you have to do is fill-in the online form between Friday, October 2, 2009 Noon Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4) and Monday, November 30, 2009, noon Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5). (more…)
None of the selected applicants are informed by e-mail, but through letters (postal mail) only. The US greencard diversity applicants, who have not been selected in the lottery, do not receive any confirmation; only the selected are contacted by the Kentucky Consular center. Those who have not been selected are also free to apply again in the diversity visa lottery 2011. (more…)
Many of these can be defended if you are innocent, but for all practical purposes you are guilty until proven innocent and the burden of proof is on you. The USCIS and embassy personal will also investigate you at their convenience and look for any thing that looks suspicious or fraudulent. Something many people don’t take into consideration is that the US Foreign Service exams are very tough, these are not dumb people, and they are very well trained.
In order to obtain a green card, a three step process is necessary that can take years to complete, depending on the immigrant category and country of birth. The first step is an immigrant petition which is usually approved through a qualifying relative or employer. The three main groups of petitions are immediate relative immigrants, family-based immigrants and employer based immigrants. The next step is determined by visa availability, according to quotas set by the Immigration and Nationality Act. (more…)
H-1Bs allow employers to hire foreign workers in certain professional occupations. They are good for three years and can be renewed for an additional three. Though an H-1B cannot lead to a green card - meaning the foreign professional is tied to one employer and has to leave the country after six years of productive employment - it’s still a pretty good deal. The problem is that, even in this economic downturn, there aren’t enough visas: Congress limits the annual grant of H-1Bs, and that magic number has been set at 65,000 for five years now. Before that, and in response to the technology boom of the late ’90s, Congress temporarily raised the cap to 195,000. But that expansion expired in 2004, and the cap has been reached earlier and earlier in each year since. (more…)
There are mainly two types of visas namely: nonimmigrant and immigrant visa. A nonimmigrant visa is for temporary visits like business trips, work, tourism or studying while an immigrant visa is designed for people who want to obtain permanent residency in the United States without any time limitation.
The old test emphasized more trivia-based questions, such as “What is the name of the ship that brought the pilgrims to America?” The new test asks more detailed history questions, such as “The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the U.S. Constitution. Name one of the writers.” It also incorporates more questions on current U.S. poltics, recent events in America, U.S. geography and conceptual questions on U.S. government structure. But at Tufts, even the easier exam would be challenging to some students, according to a Daily poll conducted this weekend. The Daily asked 24 students in the campus center and dining halls to answer a sample of 20 questions listed on the USCIS Web site as being used on the old, easier citizenship exam. The quiz included easier questions such as “For how long is the president elected?” and harder questions like “Name the amendments that guarantee or address voting rights,” (more…)
“Citizenship Day honors the brave act of 39 patriots who, on September 17, 1787, signed the Constitution of the United States and charted the course of our nation that has continued for 220 years,” said USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez. “With the words, ‘We the People,’ they established the basic purposes of our government, forming a country that protects the rights and secures the liberties for all citizens - both native born and naturalized.” (more…)
When a foreign citizen visits the U.S. as a tourist, a medical patient, a student, or for business purposes, they generally need to present only a valid national passport, a photo ID card or birth certificate, and sometimes an entry visa. A visa is simply an endorsement on a document that shows authenticity and conveys permission to travel to and to enter a foreign country. This type of visa is also known as a nonimmigrant visa. Fees for a passport, a nonimmigrant visa, and a border crossing card total about $300. However, when a foreign citizen wishes to reside and work in the U.S., they need to present an immigrant visa, also known as a green card. The green card was originally called the Alien Registration Receipt Card, but it has recently been renamed the Permanent Resident Card. Originally the card was green in color but now the card is white with some green printing on the back. It is still known generally as the green card. Recipients of the green card must carry it with them at all times. The green card is valid for a period of 10 years. The green card is issued to a foreign citizen as a response to a petition by an employer or a relative who is a U.S. citizen. The petition by the employer or relative allows the foreign citizen to enter the U.S. for the purposes of being employed and residing permanently in the country. The process for acquiring the green card generally follows three steps. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) issues the green card. This service used to be known as the INS or Immigration and Naturalization Service. USCIS is often referred to as simply the Immigration Service and is now part of the Department of Homeland Security. The first step is for the USCIS to review all of the paperwork and approve the petition from the qualifying relative or employer. The second step is to send the approved paperwork to the National Visa Center (NVC) where the petition waits for a visa number to become available. Only a limited number of visa numbers are available each year. Once a visa number becomes available, then the third step is for the petition to be forwarded to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate in the foreign citizen’s home city or country. (more…)
