Immigration Q&A - June 27, 2010
Adjustment v Consular Processing
Q1: I just got my Green Card. May my wife, who is currently in Germany, adjust her status to permanent resident?
Adjustment of status application can only be filed by persons in the US. She will need to consular process her application. This simply means that she will need to apply through the State Department and the Embassy to obtain an immigrant visa. Once she obtains the immigrant visa she will be able to enter the US and will become a US permanent resident.
O2 Visa
Q2: I am an assistant to a movie star who is holding an O1 visa. What kind of visa I should apply for in order to continue my assistant job for this movie star?
You can obtain and O2 visa provided that you are an integral part of the movie star’s performance or have related critical skills. If you cannot meet these standards, you may be eligible for a B1 visa.
PERM Amendment
Q3: I filed a PERM application on my own and realized that I made a mistake. Can I go back and correct this mistake?
Unfortunately, amendments cannot be made after the application is submitted. You will need to submit a new application. Depending on when the advertising campaign was performed, it may need to be redone. We’ve helped many clients correct similar problems and can help you prepare a proper PERM application so you can timely obtain your green card.
