- If I have a valid H-1B visa in my passport, provided my 10 print biometrics at my consular interview and haven’t moved to a new address since the filing of the H-1B visa as listed in my passport, am I registered or do I need to register? It would appear based on the information you have shared that you are in compliance with the Registry requirement and do not need to submit a G-325R form through the USCIS website. See https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration for more information.
- Should we self-deport? Everywhere we turn the messaging is for us to leave. Some of the notices we have received say that if we leave now, we will be able to come back later to resume our process. Is this true? What should we do? You should contact our office to schedule a consultation. It is highly recommended that you speak with a qualified Immigration Attorney for a full discussion of your rights, the rule of law, how due process works in the United States, and the real consequences involved if you were to self-deport. Please DO NOT self-deport without speaking with an Immigration Attorney.
