Immigration Factoids ™
  Entry to non-immigrants such as visitors, students, and NAFTA workers can be denied if the official believes the non-immigrant intends to stay indefinitely in the U.S., as for example where s/he is engaged or already married to a U.S. citizen. The stated intention to return home after the authorized stay expires is presumed fraudulent. If the non-immigrant is nonetheless granted entry and in the same visit applies to adjust status as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, the USCIS officer has authority to overlook the presumed fraudulent intent at the time of entry and approve adjustment.

Notice to Appear (Removal Proceedings)
Notice to Appear

The selection of documents is not the full range of immigration documents, but they are ones that are commonly encountered in practice. The last one, the Notice to Appear, is a document that is served by the Government on a person whom it wishes to deport (remove) in order to commence legal proceedings.

For a more complete range and discussion of documents in connection with employment eligibility, please consult the latest version of the official M-24 Handbook, which is periodically revised. The form I-9, which recently has been modified a number of times, also contains a list of acceptable documents for employment eligibility purposes. Click here to access the latest version of the form I-9. Certain prior editions of the form I-9 are no longer acceptable. Employers should use only the current I-9 form and the list of documents attached to it. List A documents satisfy both identity and employment eligibility in a single document; List B documents establish identity, and List C documents establish employment eligibility. As under earlier I-9 practice, a new hire must present either one eligible List A document or a combination of one List B and one List C document. An employer must respect the employee's choice and is not legally allowed to require an employee to furnish additional documentation if the documents selected by the employee satisfy the acceptable categories, reasonably appear to be valid on their face and relate to the employee.

If you have a question about applicability of any of these sample documents, how to obtain an immigration benefit, or employment eligibility, please contact Messing Law Offices for a free seven minute telephonic consultation or to schedule an initial consultation.
