Fiancee Visa

The recent devastation in Japan has resulted in the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) providing certain U.S. immigration benefits to Japanese nationals.  Currently, temporary relief is available for eligible Japanese nationals.  USCIS is providing relief to include the following:

• A change or the extension of a non-immigrant status for an individual already in the U.S. even if that person’s period of stay has already expired;
• The extension of parole for those previously granted parole by USCIS into the U.S.;
• The extension as well as expedited processing of advance parole requests;
• The expedited approval for F-1 student visa holders for off-campus employment due to severe economic hardship;
• The expedited processing of relative immigrant petitions filed by U.S. citizens (USC) and lawful permanent residents (LPR);
• The expedited processing of employment authorization; and
• Assistance to those LPRs stranded abroad who do not have their green cards.  Coordination will be made by USCIS and the Department of State when the LPR is at a location where there is no local USCIS office.

If you are a Japanese national and believe you are eligible for any of these benefits, please contact our office for assistance.  These benefits are still available to help you or your family.
