What defines that a job requires a masters degree when filing for a green card?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
U.S.C.I.S. examiners will generally go by the requirements as specified on the PERM labor certification applications. There may be situations in which they contest requirements which have been cleared by the Department of Labor, but that is not common. Your difficulty is that the Department of Labor has given what are essentially degrees of difficulty for occupations, and your employer's lawyer has likely concluded that a labor certification application requesting a Masters degree for a swim coach with students under the age of 18 will encounter difficulties with obtaining a labor certification.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.

When i start the petition for a K1visa for my fiance will she still be able to come visit me while it is being processed?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The question will be whether your fiancée still intends to only visit a few days at a time while the K-1 fiancée process is going forward. If such is the case and she is able to convince the Customs and Border Protection inspector of her intentions, she would be allowed to enter the US as a visitor. If she intends to stay with you in the States until the interview at the American Consulate is scheduled, she may be accused of having abused her visiting status and encounter problems. The best solution of course is for you to go and visit her, thereby assuring that she will not have a US immigration problem insofar as her visits to the US are concerned.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.

Can my son, who is a US citizen, file for me so that I can come back to the country?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Generally, when he becomes an adult, a U.S. citizen may apply for his parent to receive immigration benefits. A careful analysis of your removal/deportation would be required in order to assess your future eligibility to be the subject of a family-based application and to be able to return to the U.S. Aside from the express terms of any court order for removal/deportation, many people who overstay their visa become subject to a 3-year bar to re-entering the U.S. (if they were unlawfully present in the U.S. for more than 180 days but less than 1 year), or to a very harsh 10-year bar (if they were unlawfully present for more than 1 year). There is no substitute for having an immigration attorney carefully review all the details of your situation in order to be able to advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies.
