1. I would like to work part time 2-4 Saturdays or any off days during the week, is that possible on a concurrent visa? Yes, it is possible to work part time for another H-1B employer through the filing of a concurrent H-1B petition. The part-time concurrent H-1B filing would need to be filed PRIOR to you starting the part-time employment. To ensure that you can successfully maintain your existing employment and the part-time concurrent employment, it is advisable that you schedule a consultation with an Immigration Lawyer at MVP Law Group.

1. What can I do with a USCIS online account? You can submit certain filings to the USCIS and monitor the status of those filings. You can also change your address through your USCIS online account. You may create your online account by visiting: https://myaccount.uscis.gov/create-account.

2. How do I find out what documents the Consulate will need for my mother’s case? I am assuming you are referring to Consular Processing for your mother’s Immigrant visa once her I-130 is approved. You can find particular country requirements for civil supporting documents by visiting https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html and selecting the specific country from the A-Z list on the left-hand side of the screen. Once you choose a country, you can scroll down and see the country’s requirements for: Birth, Death and Burial Certificates; Marriage, Divorce Certificates; Adoption Certificates; Identity Card; Police, Court, Prison Records; Military Records; etc.

1. How old do I need to be to apply for Naturalization?  You must be at least 18 years old to qualify for Naturalization AND you must meet ALL other eligibility requirements. The USCIS has published a helpful brochure, 10 Steps to Naturalization – Understanding the Process of Becoming a U.S. Citizen found here: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/brochures/M-1051.pdf
2. I was offered a specialty occupation with a non-profit organization, and I appear to be eligible for an H-1B; however, the Lawyer I spoke with told me that the organization does not appear to be eligible to file an H-1B CAP exempt petition with the USCIS. The lawyer did not explain any further. What is the issue? Only certain organizations are eligible to file a CAP EXEMPT H-1B petition with the USCIS. Not every non-profit organization will be eligible to file an H-1B CAP EXEMPT petition. CAP EXEMPT organizations include: Institutions of Higher Education; Nonprofit Organizations Affiliated with Institutions of Higher Education; Government Research Organizations, and Nonprofit Research Organizations focused on applied or basic research.
