Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Designated Janet Napolitano designated Haiti for TPS on January 15, 2009 in response to the devastation left behind by the tragic earthquake last week. This means that 100,000 to 200,000 Haitian nationals living illegally in the U.S. may apply for benefits, including the right to live and work in the United States.
TPS has been designated for other countries in the past and is designed to temporarily provide legal immigration status to eligible nationals of countries designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that she was designating Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a move that will make many Haitian nationals eligible for U.S. immigration benefits.
Eligible Haitian nationals who were in the United States as of January 12, 2010 will be able to apply for protection and authorization to work.

Haiti has long been deserving of TPS status, but in light of the recent earthquake devastation we need to seriously consider our nation’s unfair immigration policies toward Haiti.
Immigration laws have attempted to recognize the service of those in the US military by enacting laws to help members of the Armed Forces become citizens. These laws apply to the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Coast Guard, certain Reserve components of the National Guard, and selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve. Read the rest of this entry »

If an asylum case is denied, many people fear that they will be deported immediately. That is not the case. Once the immigration judge denies a claim for asylum, the respondent (person claiming asylum) is given 30 days to file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in Falls Church, Virginia. During the 30 day period, and the time it takes for the BIA to make a decision, the respondent is protected from being deported (or removed, as the immigration order would read).

Dual citizenship or dual nationality refers to being a citizen of two countries simultaneously. We are often asked whether or not the United States will allow dual citizenship with foreign nationals of other countries. We have to start with the fact that each country has its own citizenship laws based on their particular policies.

If you are in removal proceedings in immigration court, but married to a US citizen, one form of relief is to request voluntary departure. That is, unless you have accumulated unlawful presence in the US. Be sure to speak to an immigration attorney before deciding to either simply leave the US without going to court, or taking voluntary departure in court. The laws concerning unlawful presence are complex and you want to make sure that you do not subject yourself to an automatic bar of either 3 or 10 years once you leave. The purpose of taking voluntary departure is to allow someone who does not qualify for adjustment of status in the US, to leave the US and then ask to return as a result of being married to a US citizen once the I-130 Petition for Relative Alien has been approved.
