IMMIGRATION AND INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE TO A UNITED STATES CITIZEN

Many foreign nationals immigrate to the United States through marriage to a U.S. citizen. Although “legal” status is not automatic by virtue of marriage to a U.S. citizen, these foreign national spouses are accorded certain privileges in processing for their lawful permanent residence. For example, spouses of United States citizens are not subject to the bars to adjustment for working without authorization or overstaying their period of admission, as are other foreign nationals.

INTERNATIONAL CHILD CUSTODY AND THE HAGUE CONVENTION

In the arena of dual-nationality marriages and divorce, the issue of international child custody occasionally arises. Some of these cases involve claims of child abduction by one parent or custodian. The Convention of the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (ICARA, or Hague Convention) dictates the procedural and jurisdictional protocol for remedies for nationals of Hague Convention countries.

E-1 AND E-2 VISAS

The E-1 (Treaty Trader) and E-2 (Treaty Investor) visas are convenient and flexible nonimmigrant visa classifications for those who qualify to enter the United States and work more or less indefinitely for as long as the basis for the E visa continues to exist. Both visas require the appropriate treaty between the United States and the applicant’s home country.

EB-5 Investor Overview

EB-5 stands for “Employment-based Fifth Preference,” which is the fifth preference category for U.S. immigrant visas. The category allows for up to 10,000 immigrant visas for non-U.S. nationals who invest personal funds consisting of either $1,000,000 or $500,000 (for investments in a rural or high-unemployment region), into a for-profit business that creates ten (10) permanent, full-time (at least 35 hours per week) jobs for U.S. workers.
