Which type of visa do I qualify?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
You are not allowed to enter as a visitor to work in the US. That is considered visa fraud and will get you in to a lot of trouble. However you may be eligible for your own work or training visas, depending upon your education and experience levels. These would allow you to enter with the primary purpose of employment/training and you would be able to see your girlfriend at the same time.

You cannot convert but you have to apply as a new H1b petition and through the quota process like the others.

Am I eligible for citizenship?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Unfortunately the law provides that your period of residence for naturalization purposes ended once you stayed outside the US for one year or more. The fact that you were volunteering for the Ebola response is not considered an exception to U.S.C.I.S. even though your action was highly commendable. The law only allows exceptions where you could not come back.  For example, if you were under some form of quarantine, that would probably be such a circumstance.  (Even if you had a reentry permit, such would not preserve your residence for applying for citizenship).
