  1. When preparing a fiancé(e) visa petition, which form must the U.S. citizen petitioner file with USCIS?

    Answer: Form I-129F

    Form I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)) is filed by a U.S. citizen to bring a foreign national fiancé(e) to the U.S. to marry within 90 days of admission.

  2. A paralegal discovers that a client's Form I-140 was approved three years ago but no adjustment of status was ever filed. What is the significance of this approved petition?

    Answer: The approved I-140 retains the original priority date even if the petitioner withdraws it, protecting the beneficiary's place in line

    Under INA § 204(j) and AC21, an approved I-140 locks in the priority date, which can be retained by the beneficiary even if the employer later withdraws the petition.

  3. Which ground of inadmissibility is triggered when an alien has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT)?

    Answer: INA § 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I)

    INA § 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I) renders inadmissible aliens convicted of or who admit committing a crime involving moral turpitude.

  4. What is the statutory period within which a conditional permanent resident must file Form I-751 to remove conditions on residence?

    Answer: During the 90-day window before the two-year conditional green card expires

    Form I-751 must be filed during the 90-day window immediately preceding the expiration of the two-year conditional permanent residence.

  5. Which type of visa petition is required for an O-1A nonimmigrant with extraordinary ability in sciences?

    Answer: Form I-129 with O classification supplement

    Form I-129 with the O supplement is the correct petition for O-1A nonimmigrant status for individuals with extraordinary ability in sciences, education, business, or athletics.

  6. A client is a derivative beneficiary on a parent's approved Form I-130. Under what circumstance would the derivative beneficiary lose eligibility?

    Answer: The derivative beneficiary marries before their immigrant visa is issued

    Marriage of a derivative beneficiary generally terminates their eligibility as a derivative, as the child must be unmarried to qualify.

  7. What is the effect of filing a timely I-751 petition to remove conditions on a conditional resident's status while USCIS adjudicates the petition?

    Answer: The conditional resident status is automatically extended in one-year increments until USCIS adjudicates the petition

    A timely-filed I-751 automatically extends conditional resident status in one-year increments, and USCIS issues an extension stamp on the Form I-551.
