¿Hay una emergencia familiar donde necesita a un familiar que venga a los Estados Unidos? Humanitarian Parole podría ser la respuesta

Hace unos meses nos reunimos con una residente permanente legal que desafortunadamente fue diagnosticada con cáncer. Es una noticia devastadora para cualquier persona. Naturalmente, su madre se ofreció a venir a Georgia para ayudar a sus nietos y su hija durante el tratamiento y recuperación. Su marido necesitaba seguir trabajando para cubrir sus necesidades y los gatos médicos que cada vez eran más, que significó que necesitaban a sus familiares para ayudarlos. El único problema es que su madre vive en México y necesita una Visa para viajar a los Estados Unidos.

Su madre inmediatamente aplico para obtener una Visa para venir a los Estados Unidos para ayudar a su hija. Ella presento todos los documentos solicitados y espero su entrevista en el Consulado de Estados Unidos en México. Después de tanta espera negaron su Visa, a ella no se le permitió viajar a los Estados Unidos. Es entonces cuando la hija llama a nuestra oficina.

En ese momento aplicamos a lo que se llama Humanitarian Parole a nombre de la madre. La aplicación se presentó desde los Estados Unidos y dentro de los 2 meses siguientes del ingreso de la aplicación la madre fue capaz de ingresar a Estados Unidos. A ella se le permitió viajar a Estados Unidos y permanecer por 6 meses con la posibilidad de solicitar una extensión de 6 meses más.


Como esta familia, puede ser que esté en una circunstancia única que calificaría para ciertas excepciones dentro de la ley. No dude en contactarnos con sus preguntas para que nosotros podamos evaluar mejor su caso.

If You Are An Immigrant (even a US Citizen), Here Are 9 Things You Should Know

Are you a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident, Visa Holder, or an Undocumented Immigrant? We recommend you take the following steps to protect yourself in our current version of America. The last couple of weeks have reminded immigrants, even naturalized U.S. citizens, that they were not born in the United States. Our office has received countless phone calls, emails, and social media messages from people worrying about what their family’s future in the United States holds. Most people want to know what they can do now to protect themselves from what promises to be a wave of anti-immigration activity by the federal government. Trump's Executive Order on Interior Enforcement has some provisions that should make most Americans shiver.  We recommend the following actions for each of the following groups: Naturalized U.S. citizens. In particular if you have a foreign accent, and you are traveling within 100 miles of any US Border (including the oceans...

Seven Reasons Why the Georgia Legislature Should Repeal HB-87

Recently the Alabama Attorney General called on the Alabama State Legislature to repeal parts of Alabama's horrid anti-immigration law ( HB 56), because of the "unintended" consequences of the bill (frankly, what happened was not unintended). Because of the similarity between the two laws, Georgia's Speaker of the House, David Ralston was asked whether Georgia Legislature would repeal part or all of HB 87, Georgia own anti-immigration law. HB 87 has caused almost a half a billion dollars in damage to the Georgia economy (along with untold suffering in Georgia's immigrant communities) without any noted or reported positive effect. Speaker Ralston plainly stated that the Georgia Legislature would NOT do anything to repeal HB 87 . While it understandable why a politician would not admit that a pet bill he shepherded and pushed through the state legislature was simply bad law, it is also clear that Speaker Ralston is facing a challenge on his RIGHT in th...

Why is USCIS Taking So Long to Renew DACA Work Permits?

If the calls to our office are any indicator, there are thousands of DACA recipients whose work permit applications were filed at least three months prior to expiration, who are still waiting for their renewed work permits.  Without renewed permits, these individuals lose the right to work legally, the right to drive, and may once again accrue unlawful presence. The DHS published a notice in October 2014 advising DACA recipients that they could file their request for extension up to 150 days (5 months) prior to expiration.  As with all things government, very few of the DACA recipients, who tend not to frequent government websites, knew about the memo and many did not file so far before expiration perhaps thinking that extending a work permit was a like extending a drivers license, its is done in a few minutes.  As an experienced immigration lawyer will tell you, the USCIS does nothing quickly, and certainly does not worry that a person may lose their job or their drive...
