Will I need to have a medical examination performed for a K-1 visa?

Yes. ALL applicants who want a K-1 visa will need to undergo a medical examination by an approved doctor. The medical examination is comprehensive in nature, but it is not designed to scare or worry you. During your exam, the doctor will review your medical history and may ask you questions about previous illnesses and more. You can expect the exam to include blood tests, a physical exam, and chest x-rays. Should you have any questions about the exam or what to expect, please speak with our immigration lawyer in Bronx now.

What is a specialty occupation under the H-1B visa?

A specialty occupation with regard to the H-1B visa is a type of skillset that is specific to the work being performed. Typically, this is not a skillset that everyone will have and most who hold this specialty hold a bachelor's degree or higher.

If I have been arrested in my home country, can I still come to the US?

It depends on what you were arrested for and the circumstances of the crime. Serious criminal activities will prevent you from being able to come to the US, but not all crimes will disqualify you. In fact, it is important that you speak with an attorney who can determine your eligibility based on your previous record.

What is the difference between a green card and a visa? Or is there even a difference?

There is a difference and it often confuses a lot of people. A green card provides you with the documentation you need to live and work legally in the United States. A visa will only provide you with an authorization to enter the US and does not guarantee that you will be able to. In fact, the US Customs and Border team will determine your eligibility to enter the US and decide how long you will remain here in the US for when you do enter.

Can I vote in elections as a lawful permanent resident?

No. You will not be able to vote in any elections in the US, but once you have reached the three to five year requirement as a lawful permanent resident, you will be able to apply for US citizenship.
