Miami Springs, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Your friend can only be approved for employment authorization as the dependent of an A-2 under the circumstances where he would be an unmarried son under the age of 25 who is in full-time attendance as a student at a postsecondary educational institution and there must be a formal bilateral employment agreement permitting employment in the U. S. that was signed prior to November 21, 1988 and the bilateral employment agreement did not specify 23 as the maximum age for employment of such unmarried sons and daughters. Your friend can check with the office of protocol of the Department of State to determine whether the U. S. has such a bilateral employment agreement with Algeria. For his other options, he should consult with a knowledgeable immigration attorney.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
