Obtaining Visas for Dependent Family Members

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Under a new sympathetic interpretation of the B-2 provision by both USCIS and the Department of State, your mother and your brother could possibly qualify to accompany you to the States under B-2 visitor status. You would of course have to show that you are all living in the same household and that you have a nonimmigrant working visa in this country. Your mother and brother could be allowed to stay for a year with the possibility of extensions dependent upon the length of your nonimmigrant work.

I live in Lagos Nigeria and I have friends in the states I am part owner of property their how do I get a visa to live their permanently

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Being part owner of a property does not give you a leg up on obtaining a green card. Even if it was a commercial property, that would unfortunately not help in most cases as there is no treaty of navigation and commerce between Nigeria and the United States for purposes of long-term nonimmigrant visas like E-1 treaty trader or E-2 treaty investor. If, however, you are the part owner of a commercial business in which your share meets the requirements of the US EB-5 program for immigrant investors ($500,000 in targeted employment areas or $1 million in other areas), you may wish to consult with an immigration lawyer conversant with EB-5 cases for further advice as to how to proceed.
