AIM – 18 Immigration Law Q & A DACA Update and more & what you need to knowImmigration Law Q & A DACA Update and more & what you need to know

00:02 We are going to talk about immigration changes and updates

00:43 We’re going to start off with some of the topics because I know you all want to know the most pressing and most important things that are happening in immigration.

01:23 President Trump met with top CEO’s and Fortune 500 companies yesterday and they were just had a dinner talking about different things. They basically were pressing him on immigration. they actually wanted him to create a program that will allow skilled workers to be able To come here in a much better way.

02:04 Another important thing that happened that was the announcement by a judge, that the DACA program will continue.

02:24 A judge gave 20 days to the Trump Administration to reinstate that DACA for extension and for new obligation.

03:21 Its also constitutional challenge because one judge is saying give you 20 days to bring back that DACA and another judge pulled on the seat today or this week, destroyed DACA so maybe it’s going to go to the Supreme Court.

03:53 As of now, DACA applicants that hold DACA, they can continue to renew it until further notice, but any new DACA applicants, if you’re somebody who would qualify for DACA today, you can do it until there’s going to be some other decisions

04:25 I still think that Congress is going to come up with a law for the dreamers.

05:00 Right now it remains to be scene and will continue to update you.

05:12 Most of the family petitions were actually getting interviews. But now, every green card application is subject to an interview, which makes it, first of all, much more complicated. Makes the process much more confusing because even officers, and I’m not always aware of what they should be asking, what are the, some of the standards.

05:53 Let’s start with marriage petitions and I-864 for joined sponsors. What are some of the, what are some of the issues that we see there?

06:13 In late term, when you get married in each to your husband and your wife easily with U.S. citizen doesn’t make enough money, you need to, for example, for a couple, you make less than $20,000 a year on tax, you have to find a sponsor. 07:39 Some of these marriage cases they’re trying to detect fraud and so they determine that if somebody is willing to sign paperwork and they’re not really connected to the couple, maybe there’s some sort of a, you know, something shady going on.

08:17 Try to find co-sponsor that you know maybe it’s a friend or a family, a coworker or somebody, but not just somebody that you paid because that’s going to create a problem down the process whether it’s your first interview or second interview

08:43 Another question that we see that they ask, and it’s a question that is on the form I-45, whether it’s for an employment base or family case is whether you’re violated your terms of your visa.

09:26 You have to be upfront if you overstay, you have to say yes

10:02 In a sum the way you answered those questions can trigger more investigation for no reason specifically with the question of overstay and that some instances were overstay is not an issue, but you need to know which ones are those instances. Make sure you have that full DOJ-FBI report because if you don’t, sometimes there can be things that can be discovered at the interview and if you don’t see it in advance, it’s very difficult to deal with it and maybe already too late at the interview and sometimes can result in denial or even arrest at the interview.

11:04 Make sure you have full DOJ-FBI criminal reports then before you actually attended interview and any attorney can help you with that

11:30 That’s also why you have to your record before you’re interview because it brings a lot of problem because they know if you’re off charge.

12:42 It’s always better to be informed as to what you have in your criminal records file before you…
