Ability to Pay and Employment Based Sponsorship of a Foreign National
Published October 20, 2011 | By glendia
An I-140 is a petition by a U.S. Employer who seeks to sponsor and employ someone who is abroad or a foreign national. Small, large or new companies may sponsor a foreign national once they can demonstrate an ability to pay the employee. The sponsorship is for a future job since there are very stringent requirements that need to be met before a foreign employee may begin working.

When Returning to your Home Country From the United States Is NOT an Option Asylum, Withholding of Removal and CAT
Published May 17, 2011 | By glendia
Asylum
Asylum status may be given to an individual who meets a very strict definition of refugee. A refugee or asylee is defined as any person outside his or her county of nationality (or in the case of a persons having no nationality, their last habitual residence) who, because of a “well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion, is unable or unwilling to return to that country, and is… Continue reading →

Ready to Bond Out or Served your Time?….Only to be told “ICE Has Issued a Detainer on Youâ€
Published October 18, 2010 | By glendia
The concept of a detainer is often hard to comprehend and accept. What it means to an individual who is incarcerated in State custody, and his family is overwhelming and causes great grief when not immediately placed in perspective. Not being able to get bond, or be released from jail after serving time is the harsh consequence of a detainer.
