Sample Questions and Answers from Lawyer Jason E. Peltz, Esq.:

Question: Dear Immigration Lawyer, I am currently employed on an H-1B visa, my first, with a company that I have been with for over a year. I have just obtained an offer to work for another company. If that company files my H-1B visa can I begin working for them immediately, or do I have to wait for the new H-1B visa to be approved?

Answer: Good news. There is a provision within U.S. immigration law that provides for what is called “H-1B Portability.” So long as the new petition is a legitimate filing, and you haven’t worked without authorization, you can begin working while the visa petition is pending, so you do not have to wait for the approval.

Question: I am a United States citizen engaged to be married to a woman from Japan. I wish to sponsor her either through a fiance visa or, pending a marriage, via a marriage petition. I have heard that I will need to provide an affidavit of financial support for my wife. Is this the case? I am currently unemployed and worried that I will not meet the required minimum annual income for the affidavit, and also I don’t have any assets. Is it possible to obtain a joint sponsor?

Answer: Congratulations on your engagement. You certainly have some options. You can petition for your fiance as a K-3 non-immigrant visa holder, or, if you happen to get married, you will be able to file directly for her permanent residence (green card). In both cases, you will have to provide an affidavit of support and there are minimum annual income requirements. However, if your income fails to qualify for whatever reason, which is quite common, you can obtain a joint sponsor. This joint sponsor can be any citizen of the United States or green card holder. Many individuals are reluctant to participate as joint sponsors because they are worried they are obligating themselves to financially support your wife for years, but this is not quite how it works, and it is generally a low risk proposition. You should have no trouble finding a joint sponsor. If need be, I would be glad to discuss the matter with them, to ensure that they are comfortable with the obligations a joint sponsor ensues. In short, I don’t expect it to be a barrier to getting your fiancé over to the U.S. to be with you at all.

Question: Mr. Peltz, I am preparing a naturalization application for myself. Unfortunately, last year I was pulled over for drunk driving. Is this a traffic violation or an arrest? ?

Answer: CA first-time drunk driving charge, in any state in the United States, is generally a misdemeanor. This means it is indeed a criminal charge. It is crucial that you disclose any drunk driving as an arrest, even if you were not subsequently convicted. One single drunk driving conviction by itself does not preclude the possibility of eventually obtaining citizenship, although it may become an issue if the officer believes you have a dependency problem. The specific consequences of filing in your case would depend on the exact nature of the arrest (ex. first drunk driving, no injuries to others as a result). I would suggest you consult and/or retain an attorney in your case to ensure you are doing things right. In cases similar to yours, it is often not the criminal charge that gets people in trouble, it is the failure to properly disclose the information on the application that becomes the big issue. The most important thing is that you asked me the question, because you are now in a position to ensure that you do the right thing for your future interests.
