  1. A 16-year-old LPR child lives in the legal and physical custody of her mother, who just naturalized. What is her status?

    Answer: She automatically acquires citizenship under INA 320

    A child under 18 who is an LPR in the legal and physical custody of a U.S. citizen parent automatically becomes a citizen.

  2. An LPR plans to work abroad for 18 months. What should be filed before departure to protect his status?

    Answer: A reentry permit (Form I-131)

    A reentry permit, valid up to two years, helps show the LPR did not intend to abandon residence.

  3. An LPR with 8 years of status was convicted of an aggravated felony in 2018. How does this affect naturalization?

    Answer: It is a permanent bar to establishing good moral character

    Conviction of an aggravated felony on or after November 29, 1990 permanently bars good moral character for naturalization.

  4. An applicant for adjustment based on a pending I-485 plans an urgent trip abroad. What is the safest advice?

    Answer: Obtain advance parole before departure, after checking any unlawful presence issues

    Leaving without advance parole generally abandons a pending I-485, and unlawful presence history should be reviewed before any travel.

  5. The widow of a U.S. citizen was married for 4 years and her husband died 14 months ago without filing for her. What is her option?

    Answer: She may self-petition on Form I-360 within two years of his death

    A widow(er) of a U.S. citizen may self-petition on Form I-360 within two years of the citizen's death.

  6. An LPR in removal proceedings has held a green card for 6 years and lived continuously in the U.S. for 8 years after admission, with no aggravated felony. Which relief should be considered?

    Answer: LPR cancellation of removal

    LPR cancellation requires 5 years as an LPR, 7 years of continuous residence after admission, and no aggravated felony.

  7. Under U.S. rules, what should a non-attorney immigration consultant do when a client's case needs legal advice about inadmissibility?

    Answer: Refer the client to a licensed attorney or DOJ-accredited representative

    Only attorneys and DOJ-accredited representatives of recognized organizations may give legal advice or represent clients in U.S. immigration matters.
