WORK VISA EXPIRED 10 DAYS AGO CAN I STILL RENEW IT OR WILL I BE DEPORTED WHAT SHOULD I DO

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Dependent upon the type of work visa that you have, you may still be able to renew it. If it is a work visa in a nonimmigrant category and the maximum time period has not been exhausted, your employer may file an extension petition and you would likely have to leave the U. S. to interview for the visa at the American consulate or Embassy in your home country. If the work visa is an employment authorization card (EAD), you may be able to renew it if the principal application (usually I-485) is still valid. I note that you would not be allowed to work during the time that the EAD extension application is pending. Deportation is usually not a concern unless you already under proceedings.

Official evaluation of education from a Credential's Evaluation

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
An H-1B visa evaluation of education from an evaluation agency for a foreign degree may not necessarily be mandatory, but it is recommended, and may save the petitioner from receiving a request for further information on the equivalency of the degree. A USCIS officer may not necessarily question a foreign PhD or Masters degree, but would commonly challenge a baccalaureate degree from a foreign country which does not have an evaluation attached to it. Simple evaluations of education only range in the approximate figure of $100 and most evaluation agencies are able to send back the evaluation result within a week.
