Nonimmigrant

August 21, 2017 by Thomas Geygan

Nonimmigrant. A person who can establish that he or she has a residence abroad that he or she has no intention of abandoning, who is coming to the United States for a temporary period, and who fits into a specifically defined category under INA §101(a)(15). Nonimmigrant categories include certain temporary employees, students, tourists, TREATY INVESTORS, and foreign government officials. But see IMMIGRANT.

Las categorías de no inmigrantes incluyen a ciertos empleados temporales, estudiantes, turistas, INVERSORES DE TRATADOS y funcionarios gubernamentales extranjeros. Pero vea INMIGRANTE.

Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR)

August 21, 2017 by Thomas Geygan

Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). A person accorded the benefit of being able to reside in the United States on a permanent basis. Such a person may engage in employment but may not vote in U.S. elections. LPR status is the status gained by a person who is admitted to the United States with an IMMIGRANT VISA or who has been granted ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS. Lawful permanent residence may also be obtained after a person has been granted ASYLUM or was admitted to the United States as a REFUGEE. In addition, a person who has been in the United States for more than 10 years and is able to establish the requisite degree of hardship may be granted permanent residency following the “CANCELLATION” OF REMOVAL proceedings. LPR status may be taken away for the commission of certain acts that can result in DEPORTABILITY or INADMISSIBILITY, or lost through “abandonment.” Also called “legal permanent resident” or “green card holder.”

Residente legal premanente (LPR). Una persona que se beneficia de poder residir en los Estados Unidos de manera permanente. Tal persona puede emplearse pero no puede votar en las elecciones en los Estados Unidos. El estado de LPR es el estado ganado por una persona que es admitida a los Estados Unidos con un VISADO DE INMIGRANTE o a quien se le ha concedido AJUSTE DE ESTADO. La residencia permanente legal también se puede obtener después de que una persona haya recibido ASILO o haya sido admitida en los Estados Unidos como REFUGIADO. Además, una persona que ha estado en los Estados Unidos por más de 10 años y está estableciendo el grado requerido de dificultad puede obtener residencia permanente después de los procedimientos de “CANCELACIÓN” DE REMOCIÓN. El estatus de LPR puede ser quitado para la comisión de ciertos actos que pueden resultar en DEPORTABILIDAD o INADMISIBILIDAD, o perdidos por “abandono”. También se llama “residente permanente legal” o “titular del permiso ciudadano.”

Adjustment of Status

August 21, 2017 by Thomas Geygan

Adjustment of Status. The process of obtaining LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT status in the United States without having to leave the United States to do so. Adjustment of status should be distinguished from “change of status,” which generally applies to NONIMMIGRANTS moving from one nonimmigrant status to another. Adjustment of status is unavailable to many (but not all) persons who entered the United States without INSPECTION, or who violated status while in the United States, or on whose behalf an application for LABOR CERTIFICATION or a PREFERENCE petition was not filed on or before April 30, 2001.

Ajuste de estado. El proceso de obtención del estatus de RESIDENTE LEGAL PERMANENTE en los Estados Unidos sin tener que salir de los Estados Unidos para hacerlo. El ajuste del estatus se debe distinguir del “cambio de estado”, que generalmente se aplica a los NO INMIGRANTE que se mueven de un estado no inmigrante a otro. El ajuste del estatus no es viable para muchas personas (pero no para todas) que entraron a los Estados Unidos sin INSPECCIÓN, o que vilolaron el estatus mientras estaban en los Estados Unidos, oa nombre de quién una solicitud de CERTIFICACIÓN LABORAL o una petición de PREFERENCIA fue presentada en o antes del 30 de Abril de 2001.
