January 2019 Visa Bulletin

by Van R. Ngo

The U.S. Department of State (DOS) recently released the upcoming Visa Bulletin for January of 2019. The Visa Bulletin assists family-based and employment-based Green Card applicants in determining the wait times for various visas to become available. There are wait times for certain visas to become available for use by foreign nationals because many visa categories have a limited amount of visas available for use every year and there are more visa applicants than available visas.

New U.S. Department of Homeland Security Overstay Report

by Van R. Ngo

The Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) released the “Fiscal Year 2017 Entry/Exit Overstay Report,” (the “Report”). The Report provides data on departures and overstays, by country, for foreigners who were expected to leave the U.S. from October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017. The Report provides a better understanding of those who remain in the U.S. beyond their authorized period of admission.

by Van R. Ngo

In 2018, the U.S. Department of State amended the “Public Charge” sections of its Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM), making it more difficult for foreigners, including Vietnamese citizens, to overcome the public charge ground of inadmissibility and obtain U.S. Visas. Because the public charge ground of inadmissibility applies to almost all visa types, this new change could result in many more visa denials. If you are applying for a U.S. visa or have been denied for a U.S. visa under the public charge ground of inadmissibility (INA 221(g) or INA 212(a)(4)), please continue reading.
