U.S. IMMIGRATION SERVICES EXPLAINED :

WAIVERS

ITALIAN

It is an all too common situation: after the U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative petition is approved, the alien still faces several grounds of inadmissibility or removabilty that preclude him or her to adjust status or to consular process and become a US Permanent Resident. Most often, it is the alien’s prior unlawful presence in the US that triggers the three or ten year bans to reentry introduced by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA).

 

However, several grounds of inadmissibility may be waived, often at the discretion of USCIS. You should be mindful of this possibility, both if you are applying for an immigrant, nonimmigrant visas, or if you are suddenly facing removal proceedings. One of the areas in which the scenario is most often encountered is when an alien enters the U.S. without proper documents and then marries a U.S. citizen. This alien is an immediate relative of a US citizen and as such will be granted an immigrant visa petition filed on his or her behalf by the U.S. citizen spouse. However, because of his illegal entry, as of the date of this writing the alien will not be allowed to adjust status from the U.S. and will be forced to apply in person at the U.S. consulate in the country of his last residence abroad.

 

The travel to the place of last foreign residence in turn will trigger the so call 3- and 10-year bans to re-entry if the alien was unlawfully present in the U.S. for more than 6 months or 1 year respectively. These draconian provisions, which apply to the vast majority of undocumented, can sometime be waived by a showing of EXTREME HARDSHIP to the U.S. citizen spouse. The threshold is high but not unsurmountable, and we invite all of our client to weight this possible alternative. Feel free to drop us an email if you think this may apply to you.

 

Even if you are unable to adjust status and unwilling to apply for a waiver of inadmissiblity, we urge you to stay informed for possible Legalization Programs, Guest Workers Programs, or other forms of legislative relief that may be enacted in the future.  If you think you qualify for an immigrant or nonimmigrant waiver, please do not hesitate to schedule a consultation.

L-1 Visa

BACK TO DIRECTORYNEXT TOPIC

L-1 Visas

 

Multinational Managers, Executives & Specialized Knowledge Workers

(L-1A & L1-B Visas)

ITALIAN

L-1 The L-1 Visa is an important visa category to consider in evaluating the correct visa strategy for a foreign worker. L-1 visas were created to accomodate the needs of multinational companies and assist them in transferring executives, managers, or special knowledge workers in and out of the United States. The requirements for an L-1 visa are relatively straightforward:

THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN L-1 VISA ARE RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD:

 

A) L-1 Qualifying Relationship. In order to obtain issuance of a L-1 Visa, there must be a Qualifying Relationship between the business entity in the United States and the foreign operation which employs the alien abroad. In the L-1 Visa context, “qualifying capacity” means in practice that the L-1 Visa Petitioner (normally, the U.S. employer must) have a parent, branch, subsidiary or office in a foreign country.

Additionally, for the duration of the L-1 Visa holder stay in the United States, the petitioner must continue to do business both in the United States and in at least one other country, either directly or through a parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate. This preclude issuance of L-1 Visas to small businesses and professionals who intend to “fold down” their foreign operations and transfer to the United States upon issuance of the visa.

 

B) L-1 Qualifying Employment. The L-1A Visa Manager or Executive or the L-1B Visa Specialized Knowledge Employee for whom the visa is requested must have worked for the L-1 foreign entity abroad for at least one year in the past three years. This is very important and both at the time of the original L-1 Visa Petition and any subsequent renewals, payroll records are often requested by USCIS to substantiate the existence of the required prior employment history.

Additionally, to qualify for L-1 status, such one year of employment outside the U.S. must have been “continuous”. Although authorized periods of stay in the United States for the foreign employer are not interruptive of the prior year of employment, such periods may not be counted towards the qualifying year of employment abroad

 

C) L-1 Qualifying Capacity. The transfer must be requested to allow the L-1 worker to perform managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge work in the United States for the L-1 Visa Petitioner , and the L-1 Visa Beneficiary must have been employed abroad by the foreign operation in a L-1 Managerial, Executive, or Specialized Knowledge capacity.

However, the alien does not have to be transferred to the United States in the same capacity in which he or she was employed abroad. For example, a manager abroad could be transferred to the United States as an L-1B Visa in a specialized knowledge capacity or, vice versa, an L-1A Manager or Executive can transfer after having mature a prior year of employment abroad as a specialized knowledge worker. See Matter of Vaillancourt.

 

D) L-1 Visa Duration. L-1 visas can be granted in increments up to a total of seven years for L-1A Managers and Executives and five years for L-1B Specialized Knowledge workers.

 

E) L-2 Visas. The spouse and dependents of the L-1 visa holder can follow the principal alien and will be issued an L-2 visa and, in a relatively recent development, L-2 spouses have been given the option to request employment authorization while in the USA.

WHILE SIMPLE ON THE SURFACE, A MULTIPLICITY OF INTERPRETATION PROBLEMS LURKS BEHIND EACH OF THE SIMPLE TERMS LISTED ABOVE. What is executive capacity? Does managing first line supervisors qualify as managerial capacity for L-1 visa purposes? does the L-1 visa recognize the so-called “Function Manager”, i.e. an individual who manages a Function rather than managing subordinate staff? What is “specialized knowledge” in the L-1 visa context?

 

We see a fair number of L-1 Visa petition who prior to come to us have been filed incorrectly, lacking an understanding of how USCIS currently interprets the L-1 Visa requirements. Various memorandums have been flying around for years trying to come up with a definition of “specialized knowledge” for L-1 Visa purposes, but the interpretation can be nebulous or difficult to pin down to the circumstances of a particular case.

 

Similarly, the concept of the L-1 visa “function manager” has been recognized by USCIS for years but petitions have been often denied, much to the surprise of the L-1 Visa Beneficiary, when the L-1 function manger performs the function rather than simply managing it with subordinates or sometimes, with outside contractors.

 

Overall, the L-1 Visa category was thought for big multinational companies and sometimes does not adapt very well to the reality of modern business. The services of an experienced L-1 Visa lawyer can be extremely useful to spot potential pitfall in advance and to minimize the chance of a denial of the L-1 visa petition.

SOMETIMES, L-1 visa and H1-B visas requirements can be coextensive and a particular candidate may qualify for more than one visa. This situation needs to be evaluated carefully. Since the number of years of maximum authorized stay, employment authorization options for spouses, and the possibility of obtaining an extension beyond the maximum period of stay vary depending on the visa classification, it is important to examine these issues in depth to establish the immigration strategy that best fit the client’s needs.

 

For the same reasons sometimes it may be worth it to consider a change of visa status while the employee is employed in the US in L-1 or H1-B or E-2 capacity. All these immigration issues are best addressed as soon as possible in the employment relationship and not left to rotten and arises as an afterthought when the immediate problem arise.  It pays off to develop an ongoing, continuous relationship with a skilled immigration lawyer that can not only respond to the last minutes emergencies of your business but can guide you through the maze of immigration laws and regulations. 

Giuseppe Scagliarini is a U.S. based Immigration Lawyer with Offices in Newport, RI, speaking Italian and English and with decades of experience assisting individuals and companies in obtaining all types of Visas for the United States, including L-1 visas (both L-1A Visas and L-1B Visas). We have assisted many clients from multinational companies to small enterprises obtaining L-1 visas to transfer their personnel. We offer a personalized experience, a friendly working relationship, proven experience as our many past clients attest.

  • Giuseppe has been amazing, during the past 7 years, I have received three O-1 Visas and 1 EB-2 NIW approval, with his help and professional support. I will always recommend him to everybody who needs an immigration lawyer. He is precise, detailed, extremely meticulous and he gets things done. He was really precious and I am grateful I found him.

  • La devo ringraziare sentitamente! Il merito e’ soprattutto suo, che e’ riuscito a creare il caso e lo ha presentato perfettamente. Tutti gli avvocati che avevo sentito in questi anni mi avevano solo proposto EB2 con Perm, oppure di tentare EB1, che probabilmente sarebbe stato (negato).

    - Client Letter Upon Receipt of EB-2 NIW Approval

  • I want to express my deep respect to attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini. My family and I hired Giuseppe to assist us in obtaining a Green Card. The case was extremely complex, under many profiles. Giuseppe lead us in this battle, through documents, offices, pandemic, translations, audits, and much more. I appreciated his wisdom, his acume in finding solutions time by time. And his kindness too. In the end, we managed to get the Green card for me, my wife and my two kids. Giuseppe, you are a terrific attorney, and we’ll always be grateful to you.

  • Caro Giuseppe, Ce l’ho fatta! Ce l’abbiamo fatta! Perché senza di te tutto questo percorso sarebbe stato infinitamente più duro e perché tutto è partito con te e ti devo un’ enorme riconoscenza! Ho sudato freddo ma l’intervista è andata bene! E mercoledì ho la cerimonia di giuramento. Non mi sembra vero… Sette anni da quando ho deciso di intraprendere questo percorso… Dal profondo del cuore davvero grazie, del sostegno, del tuo aiuto e della tua umanità! E ci sarà ancora modo di sentirci e spero non soltanto per lavoro. Intanto GRAZIE e un abbraccio strabordante di felicità dalla West Coast

  • I could not thank enough Mr. Scagliarini. He followed and supported our path to a green card that lasted 8 years with many difficulties and obstacles finding always the right solution for us to keep going. It is very hard to find an immigration lawyer that is professional, has a deep and updated knowledge of the immigration law in US and he is also always available in case of need. Receiving today that approval of the green card has been a success that I definitely share with Mr. Scagliarini. Grazie F.C., Phoenix AZ

  • Dear Giuseppe, I’ve had a rough path when it comes to immigration lawyers. Many let downs, complicated cases and lack of attention. Finally I decided to enquire about a possible E1 visa with your firm and since the first meeting I felt the attention that my case deserved. You guided me the right way and made me understand how the process worked. Even with the difficult times that the American Immigration process is facing now, you were able to assist me the fastest way possible with the approval of my E1 Visa. Thank you so much for the assistance. Your knowledge and, most importantly, passion towards the law is what makes your firm the best I’ve worked with. My best,

    - Nicola - E-1 Visa Applicant in Rome, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, Such wonderful news! After a long journey this moment finally arrived, _________ and I can start a new chapter of our life together. This is like a dream come true! We want to deeply thank you for your precious help and your professionalism. It was great pleasure meeting you and being supported by your perfect guidance. The Consulate has not contacted me yet, I will wait for their email or your updates, if any, regarding the attempt to resume the processing of the K-1 visa. We hope that life will reserve to both you and Rosanna the best. You help people like me to change their lives for the better. With graditude, THANK YOU.

  • “L’avv Scagliarini si è preso a cuore il nostro caso con rara umanità e con competenza e precisione è riuscito ad ottenere con una sola mail l’agognato visto F1 che attendevamo inutilmente da tre settimane, bloccato da non precisate ragioni burocratiche senza riuscire ad avere alcuna notizia dal consolato. Rapido, competente ed efficace ci ha tolto da una situazione molto difficile comprendendo anche le difficoltà e il disagio di un ragazzo appena ventenne a cui era stato revocato il visto a seguito di un DUI, tra l’altro dichiarato illegittimo. Grazie Avv. Scagliarini”

  • Avvocato Grazie! Ce l'abbiamo fatta!!! la mia intervista è durata si e no 2 minuti. Veramente solo 5 domande.Visto approvato!!!!! La ringrazio di cuore per la sua disponibilità umana, per la sua professionalità, per il suo lavoro preziosissimo. Ringrazi anche la sua assistente. Non mancherò di fare il suo nome a chiunque dovesse avere bisogno di un avvocato che si occupi di visti e immigrazione. Mi sento finalmente sollevata e felice.

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I have just received this instant the telephone call from the Consulate that I had been waiting for so anxiously. The visa will be issued. Unfortunately, I will miss the important meeting scheduled for tomorrow that I had hoped to attend, but at least (...) this will not happen again in the future. Thank you very much for your assistance. Sincerely,

    - Applicant for Nonimmigrant Waiver of Admissibility (Name Withheld).

  • In my quest to be able to work in United States, after failing to obtain a H1-B visa with other attorneys, I was introduced to Giuseppe and Rosanna by a satisfied client of them. Giuseppe interviewed me and found the right Visa for me, listening and understanding the situation. They helped and supported during all the process, filing an E-1 Visa Application for me, and made it as much as stress free as possible. Giuseppe assisted in all follow-up correspondence with the Consulate and even clarified what additional documents I should bring with me at the interview. Top notch professionals, always kind and helpful, I definitely recommend them and will go back to them in case of need.

    - Andrea Iacucci Ostini

  • Carissimo Giuseppe, Oggi ho ricevuto da te la splendida notizia dell'approvazione della nostra petizione per l'ottenimento della green card Eb1(a) "Alien with extraodinary Ability" Io, e la mia famiglia siamo stati molto fortunati ad aver incontrato (su Internet) un professionista così attento, valido e qualificato come tu ti sei rivelato durante l'assistenza che ci hai fornito. Sei sempre stato onesto sulle prospettive e le probabilità di riuscita dell'impresa e non ci hai mai illuso, non solo ma hai anche saputo spronarci ad assumere l'attegiamento psicologico giusto nell'affrontare la cosa. Hai saputo a nostro avviso selezionare e sintetizzare al meglio tutta la documentazione che ti abbiamo inviato e l'hai presentata ed esposta con maestria e dovizia di particolari. Ogni argomentazione è stata poi da te evidenziata con riferimenti giuridici inerenti e precisi così da poter limitare le possibilità di replica negativa da parte dell'esaminatore della pratica. Insomma MEGLIO NON POTEVAMO CAPITARE!!! Presto Io e la mia famiglia ci trasferiremo negli USA e siamo certi che con questa tua performance da professionista serio e da amico (ormai possiamo dire di essere diventati anche amici no?) ti sei guadagnato il posto di legale rappresentante in USA della nostra famiglia, in futuro per qualsiasi cosa siamo sicuri che presso il tuo studio troveremo sempre il consiglio e la consulenza migliore possibile. Con Affetto e grande riconoscenza, Marco & Liliana Marzocca Cuni, Roma, Italia

  • It is my pleasure to share with you my experience working with Giuseppe upon obtaining my Permanent Resident Card. My wife and I met at the university in Boston and decided to get married a few years after. Giuseppe was recommended to us by a family member, and broke down the process of getting a visa, and the importance of providing evidence of faithful marriage. Giuseppe was very effective and sharp in terms of building a strong case and identifying areas of strengths and weaknesses. He always followed up with emails and put us in the best condition to show up at the interview. He was present during the interview and reassured me and my wife throughout the process, telling us to just be ourselves. A few minutes after the interview, my application was approved and I received my green card a week following the interview. Overall, I would highly recommend using Giuseppe's service as he is very knowledgable, precise, professional and yet personable and truly cares about his clients.

  • Abbiamo utilizzato i servizi dell'Avv. Scagliarini nel corso dell'anno 2011 e 2012. Inizialmente ci ha supportato egregiamente nella richiesta di un visto L1A in quanto l'azienda in Italia di cui ero Presidente era stata acquistata a un'azienda Americana e personalmente trasferito negli USA. In questa fase ci e stata molto utile la Sua esperienza e i Suoi consigli per ottenere in tempi rapidi e addirittura senza alcuna richiesta da parte dell'ufficio immigrazione di ulteriore documentazione il visto. Puntuale e preciso, ci siamo trovati veramente molto bene. Successivamente si e creata una situazione di emergenza e il supporto dell'avv. Scagliarini e' stato ancora piu cruciale ed importante, riuscendo a risolvere in modo egregio, rapido e puntuale la nostra situazione e facendoci ottenere un visto E2 da noi molto agognato. Non posso che suggerire a chiunque ma ovviamente maggiormente a chi proviene dall'Italia data la facilita' di linguaggio, di utilizzare l'Avv. Scagliarini specialmente perche per esperienza diretta il processo di immigrazione USA pur funzionando molto bene ha bisogno di essere capito e conosciuto molto bene. Non posso che ringraziare a nome mio e di mia moglie l'avv. Scagliarini per tutto il supporto e per averci risolto una situazione che a noi sembrava molto complicata. Grazie ancora

    - F.C.

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I would like to thank you for a job well done. My Green Card Petition has been approved and I am so thrilled. Not only have you offered sound professional advice, but also provided a warm person to person assistance. I particulalrly appreciated how easily I could get in touch with you and how timely your answers were. Your presence at the Interview was an extra bonus...with a Guardian Angel physically beside us what could go wrong? Thank you again and God Bless.

    - G.S.

  • Dear Joe, I know how much time you have devoted to helping us obtain the visa. Phew, it is finally done. Thank you so much for you patience. (...) Well, it is done. I hope I won't have to wait five years before seeing you. I for one will probably be back East in September. I'd love to take you out for a good lunch. Many Thanks. Appreciatively,

    - F. P.

  • I'm so happy! Thank you Giuseppe! For your representation and services, I'm so pleased I had you with me on this journey. I do feel very reflective and grateful. I think of my parents bringing me here at a young age and how my life would not be what it is today if I weren't here in this country I have the privilege of calling home. You and Rosanna's names will live on in our home for years to come as we tell [our son] his birth story. Thank you!

    - A.O.

  • Caro Giuseppe, ce l'abbiamo fatta! Volevo ringraziarti per tutto quello che hai fatto per me, per aver preso a cuore il mio caso, per la serietà e l'impegno. Il 28/04 dovrei essere a Newport, quindi avrò modo di ringraziarti di persona. Grazie ancora per tutto. Un abbraccio.

  • Dear Giuseppe, 
 We have finally obtained E-2 visas for all the family. I wanted to thank you for all your professional assistance, which was of great help not only in securing approval of our visa application, but also in all the various phases of the long negotiations necessary to acquire the U.S. Business. Your competence and your advice were always priceless, and allowed us to see to completion an extremely complex transaction. Following your directives, and thanks to all the work performed before we even applied for our investor visas, we were able to undertake the consular interview with ease and peace of mind, and without any surprises. We are now ready to start our new life in the United States! Thanks for everything you did for us!

    - Alfredo and Daniela

  • Dear Giuseppe, I have just come back from the Consulate. Everything went well, and the Consulate issued the visa without a problem. I must confess that I was a little worried since the Consul denied the applications of to the two people in line in front of me. On the contrary, I was not asked a single question because the documents that we submitted were abundantly clear. They did not ask any questions about my prior overstay either, we never even started the conversation. They took my fingerprints and in a minute I was outside with my visa stamp. I wanted to thank you for all the work that you performed for me preparing all the supporting documents perfectly, and because you have always been of great help.

    - F.M., E-2 visa applicant at the U.S. Consulate General in Milan, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, I just would like to thank you for helping me to get closer to my dream of fulfilling myself personally and professionally in this lovely country by assisting me in obtaining my H-1B visa. I cannot overestimate the importance of your help, professional and personal support which I’ve experienced throughout the immigration process. Your skillfulness and motivation reassured me in high probability of positive outcome, even if sometimes situation looked unfavorable to me. Thanks to your ability to overcome those obstacles I’ve received the desired visa approval. I would sincerely recommend your services for anyone’s immigration needs. Kind Regards,

  • Dear Attorney Scagliarini: I have just come back from my trip to the USA: a fantastic experience! By receiving a prestigious international award, I finally could bring to fruition the efforts and sacrifices of a year of hard work. All this seemed impossible until a few months ago when, due to a youthful indiscretion, I was denied the right to travel to the Untied States, so important for my professional standing. Due to the complexities of U.S. Immigration Law, I feared that my young but already promising career (as a Medical Researcher) had reached a dead end. Instead, after a diligent search for records and information performed under your representation and guidance, I could obtain what I did not dare to hope anymore (a business visa for unlimited entries to the United States). Now I feel that having overcome these difficulties will be an additional motivating factor in everything I do. All this would not have been possible without the professionalism, availability, and efforts that you systematically showed in every aspect of my representation. Thank you.

I got the stamp in my passport and our home address was changed by the officer (who was a very nice lady). Thank you for all your pointers regarding the interview. They were extremely helpful. I will contact you when I receive the card in mail in the next to weeks or so. Thank you so much for all your help throughout this process!

  • Thank you!!! I can’t find words to say thanks enough for all the help and support we got from Joe Scagliarini. Last year our world ended when my sister’s green card was denied. I called Mr. Scagliarini and asked for advice. I was asking for a miracle and he made it happen!!! He wrote a (petition for a) waiver which was granted in Vienna and my sister and my nieces are coming to the U.S.A. in two weeks. Words hardly seem enough to express our thanks for all his help. I met a lot of lawyers looking for advice and help, but nobody was so professional and caring like Joe and his staff (special thanks to Rosanna!). He always answered my calls, even from Italy where he was on vacation. He never left me with unanswered questions. Thank you for everything, for reuniting my family. Thank you again. You are the best lawyer anybody could ever ask for! Sincerely,

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, Have a great day! This is to inform you that I already have my visa approved. I want to congratulate you & your office for a job well done! I'll be preparing again for the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar that I have to undergo hopefully this month in Manila. I'll keep you posted. Thank you & May God bless you all! Respectfully yours,

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, Dario sends his thanks for your time today. When we spoke first on Friday, I described it to Dario as a little hole of light surrounded by darkness that opened - where we need to focus our energy to make bigger. Dario described it as finding the X and now it is up to us to start digging. I feel comfortable that Dario was able to speak with you in Italian so that he understands his options completely. This case will take time but I will let you know if and when we arrive in full light.

    - M.D., New Jersey, USA

  • I really want to say thank you to Mr. Scagliarini for helping me to get my H-1 B Visa. His precious and careful support was priceless. I am happy to have trusted him for something so important for my life and so difficult to get.

  • Dear Joe, Words hardly seem enough to express our heartfelt thanks for all your help and support up through and through our interview. Your knowledge of immigration law and procedure, along with your attention to detail and calming competence made filing the (immigrant petition) a positive experience. You always made very clear and easy to understand what you needed from us, for when, and most importantly why. You answered every question we had in a timely manner with patience and compassion. Never once did we feel overlooked or as if our case did not matter. Joe, as you said after our interview - between all our smiles, tears of joy and hugs, "now you two really get to begin your lives together and really get to make those dreams you talked about come true." Yes, we do get to make our dreams come true - because of your professional and yet caring services. You will always have our highest regards and recommendations. And I know that we will always have your information at hand for others we may come across that asks us "who should we turn to?" With our sincere thanks and appreciation,

  • Good Morning Attorney Scagliarini, I am writing to inform you that the immigrant visa interview went well as well as the medical examination. The Doctor raised some issues with (my brother's) health, but in the end he was able to assist us. We all received immigrant visas, to be used within six months of approval. Within this period we will have to enter the U.S. and surrender the sealed envelopes that were issued to us by the U.S. Embassy in Naples. Everything looks OK and we should received the actual green cards shortly after our entry... I wanted to thank you for assisting us in this process and for believing in us and seeing this difficult case to a successful outcome. I hope one day to be able to thank you in person. Kind regards,

    - Elisabetta Micco, Villa Verrucchio, Rimini, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, Thank you for the outstanding work performed by you and your staff on our behalf. I truly appreciate the attention doted on my wife Yesenia. I was honestly expecting a denial of her waiver petition since the U.S. Embassy in Rome had been sitting on the application without any action for a prolonged period of time. After waiting for an answer for approximately nine months, we decided to contact an attorney expert in U.S. Immigration law. In my opinion, Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini has been extremely professional and kind in all his dealings with us, in one month he obtained the approval of my wife’s waiver and we just received notice of approval of her visa from the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Emanuele and Yesenia extend heartfelt thanks to Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini.

  • Dear Joe, When Mario and I first started the immigration process after we were married we didn’t realize how long, frustrating, and expensive it was going to be. After a long first year with a bad lawyer and no progress, Mario and I were about to throw in the towel. It wasn’t until we met you that we saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to a mutual friend, we were introduced to you and our hope that seemed lost was reborn again. Even from the first time we met, you genuinely seemed concerned about our situation and wanted to help us. You were honest and direct yet always optimistic. You always had time for us whether it via e-mail, by phone, or in person and you honestly made us feel that we were your only clients. We also greatly appreciated the fact that you took into account our financial situation and set us up with a payment plan. Even though the process took longer than any of us anticipated the outcome was what we all hoped for and my husband is now home with his family, this time as a legal resident. Thank you so much Joe and your lovely wife Rita for all your hard work and positive thinking to help reunite my family and to give Mario the opportunity to live the American Dream. Without you it would never have happened. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

    - Kerri, Mario, and Neil, Newport, RI, U.S.A.

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, It's so nice to hear that the petition has been approved. I'm thankful that God's favor is with us. With how things work, it's just amazing! I'm also thankful that God sent us a hardworking lawyer like you. Congratulations to you too, I believe our success is yours too, as we are helping each other in this process. Thank you & know that you are in my prayers. God bless!!!

    - Maria T. Comargo, Manila, Philippines

  • Dear Joe: Just let you know that I was told in the embassy in London yesterday that my application has been approved. It turns out that the last guy I saw was from Pittsburgh .... and of course he didn't have anything good to say out Philly. Thanks for the help,

  • Dear Giuseppe, We would like to thank you for all your help and assistance in the past years. You helped us 3 years ago when we first moved to the United States. Your assistance made possible to get our L1 Visa and L2 Visas in a very short time. You helped Cristina with her L2 Visa work authorization in different occasions (you always returned my numerous “desperate” phone calls). And you supported us this year during the renewal process. Most of all thank you for your friendship…

    - R.R., Providence, RI

  • Hi Joe, I really appreciated all your attention and dedication on my case. It was pleasant working with you, I wish you the best in future cases. About the medicals, the immigration officer showed me the day of the interview some information that my doctor missed, so I told him that I could get it right away ( to avoid another appointment) , so I did, I ran to my doctor's office right after my interview, I got what I need it from her, and then I went back to the immigration office and gave it to officer personally, and he said, this it, you'll be getting your green card in a month, and guess what ,,,,, I got it 5 days after that, I was really surprised and very happy, very happy. Thank You Joe, Great Job!!!

    - M.S., Pittsburgh PA

  • Dear Giuseppe, Thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping us acquire our E2 visas for our Chefs Gianluca and Michele. Under our particular circumstances, it was by no means an easy feat. I am sure it was one of the more difficult and impossible E2 visas to obtain, but we succeeded. Your loyalty, your commitment to the case, your everlasting patience, determination and knowledge made us stay the road... We have had a successful summer with Gianluca and Michele, and many thanks to you for that. You always have a table at Pasta Beach. Next time we need a visa, I know it will be a lot easier. With our warmest regards,

  • Dear Joe, I hope you are doing great, I just wanted to thank you for your prompt services, and your professional advice. Thanks to you I was able to get my H-1B visa and a job that I like, and to earn what I deserve as a professional. All your phone calls and all your attention made me feel that I had someone working as hard as I was to get my work visa. My life has changed so much now that I have peace of mind about my financial situation; getting my job was the beginning of my life here in the United States and I know I can count on you whenever I need you, either for advice or for other professional services.

    - M. S., Colombia

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini: Myself, but especially my life partner and my children, want to express our immeasurable gratitude for your assistance and the positive results, totally unexpected on our part, that you obtained on our behalf. I will forever remember your initial reluctance to undertake our representation (given the uncertain outcome of the case), but then believing that a positive outcome was possible we all decided to work together, and the approval of my nonimmigrant waiver followed. I wish to renew my sincerest thank you.

    - F. M., Italy

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I wanted to let you know that everything went well upon our entry into the U.S.. At the airport, it was sufficient to show (CBP) my visa paperwork and nothing else. Thank you for your careful assistance, for your availability throughout this past year, and for your precious legal advice, which in this country is truly invaluable (especially when one travels with all the family). I want to thank also your assistant Rosanna who has also shown at all times kindness and professionalism when dealing with me when you were not available. I highly recommend that anyone who is considering filing for U.S. immigration benefits contact you first, in order to avoid all sorts of unpleasant surprises.

    - A.T., Rome, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, Rarely my fiancee' and I have been as happy in a professional relationship as we have been with your Law Offices and with your legal services.

E-2 Visa

BACK TO DIRECTORYNEXT TOPIC

E-2 Visa Lawyer – SCAGLIARINILAW

E-2 Visa – A Visa for Investors

ITALIAN

RECENT TRENDS IN IMMIGRATION LAW have rendered the E-2 visa category an  appealing alternative to more common  visa classifications. While the much-sought-after H1-B visa is subject to numerical limitations, and L-1 Visas require 12 months of previous employment history with the company abroad, an E-2 visa allows investors of a “treaty country” and their executives, managers, and essential skills workers to come to the United States to “direct and develop” or to perform Executive, Managerial or Essential work for the Treaty Company (The U.S. Company which is the object of the investment and that is the vehicle for the E-2 Visa application).

Although an E-2 visa is often issued for an original duration of 5 years, it is easily renewable if the requirements are still met at the expiration of the initial 5 year term. The rules requiring the investor to maintain a residence in a foreign country are relaxed, and, these visa can sometimes be renewed indefinitely.

There are several important requirements such as those of “Substantiality” of the investment (the E-2 visa investment must be “substantial” according to the applicable regulation, but no minimum amount of investment has been declared expressly sufficient for an E-2 Visa), “Non-Marginality” of the E-2 visa enterprise (the E2 visa investment must not be destined solely to earn a living for the E2 investor and his or her immediate family), “Source of Funds” (the E-2 visa funds must be traceable to the E2 visa investor and must not be the derived from unlawful activities), “Nationality” (the E-2 visa enterprise and the E-2 Investor, Executive, Manager, or Essential Worker must be from the same country and the country must have executed and ratified a commercial treaty with the U.S.), and “At Risk Funds” (the E-2 visa investment must be at risk in a commercial sense and subject to loss in case of reversal of business fortune).

Also, the E-2 visa application can normally be pursued either at the specialized section of the U.S. Consulate having jurisdiction over the alien place of residence OR by way of Change of Status within the U.S.

However, even if a change of status to  E-2 is approved by USCIS, in order to travel and re-enter the U.S. the applicant will need to re-apply at the local consulate abroad and the E-2 Visa application will be adjudicated de novo.

 

Additionally, some E Visa Sections, including the E Visa section in Rome, Italy, have recently seen a dramatic increase in the number of E1 and E2 visa application, and have increased the minimum processing time for an E visa application, causing long backlogs. For examples, in Rome an E-2 visa now takes a minimum of 10 to 12 weeks to process.

 

These and many other considerations are best explored with the assistance of a skilled E-2 visa lawyer (a U.S. licensed layer with substantial experience in E-2 Visa applications). We have seen many clients ruined or their chances greatly prejudiced by E-2 visa applications filed by unlicensed individuals such as notarios, travel agencies, visa services and agenzie visti. These individuals are very likely to engage in the unauthorized practice of law and are prosecuted in many states by local enforcement agencies.

Spouses of E visa holders are allowed to work, unlike H4 visa holders (spouses of H1-B visa holders) or F-1 students and their dependents. Obtaining an E-1 visa or E-2 visa can seem a daunting task, but with the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney the applicant should stand good chances if the requirements for the classifications are met.

Admittedly, many of the requirements are somewhat discretionary and difficult to quantify (such as substantiality and nonmarginality of the investment, requirement that the alien develops and direct the enterprise, formulation of a proper business plan, etc.), but the E-1/E-2 visa category should not be overlooked by the candidate interested in exploring options to come to the U.S.

U.S. Immigration Lawyer GIUSEPPE SCAGLIARINI is a U.S. Immigration Lawyer based in Newport, RI and offering assistance to clients worldwide to obtain E-2 Visas and many other types of visa and immigration benefits, including H-1B Visas, L-1 Visas, O-1 Visas, Green Cards, Adjustment of Status. Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini has been practicing for over 20 years and has substantial experience in assisting foreigners with the issuance of E-1 Visas (Treaty Trader Visa) and E-2 Visas (Treaty Investor Visa) at consulates throughout the world.

 

Even in situations where the classification may initially seem inapplicable, there are instances where it may be possible to request the same, as in the case of E2 visas for mangers or executives or visas for essential employees. Please read the numerous testimonials and thank you letter from clients we have published on this page and elsewhere on our web site from many successful E-2 Visa applicants.

Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini speaks both English and Italian and E-2 visa consultations can be conducted in either languages.

 

Persons interested in obtaining an E-2 Visa with the assistance of an USA Immigration Attorney should contact us by email to schedule a in-person consultation at our Newport, RI offices, or a consultation via Telephone, Skype, or FaceTime Conference.

  • Dear Giuseppe, I’ve had a rough path when it comes to immigration lawyers. Many let downs, complicated cases and lack of attention. Finally I decided to enquire about a possible E1 visa with your firm and since the first meeting I felt the attention that my case deserved. You guided me the right way and made me understand how the process worked. Even with the difficult times that the American Immigration process is facing now, you were able to assist me the fastest way possible with the approval of my E1 Visa. Thank you so much for the assistance. Your knowledge and, most importantly, passion towards the law is what makes your firm the best I’ve worked with. My best,

    - Nicola - E-1 Visa Applicant in Rome, Italy

  • Gentile Avvocato, Tutto bene, il colloquio è stato proprio una formalità. Tre domande in piedi davanti allo sportello: siete sposati? Che lavoro farà? Ha esperienza in questo lavoro? La ringrazio per il risultato e per il lavoro che ha svolto con grande professionalità. Come le avevo anticipato sono andata alla Fontana di Trevi, Roma è sempre una bella città. Cordiali saluti F.G.

    - F.G. - E-1 Visa Applicant in Rome, Italy

  • 19 Maggio 2022 Buongiorno Avvocato, volevo avvisarla che l’altro ieri mi hanno rilasciato il Visto E1 richiesto dopo aver fatto l’intervista all’Ambasciata. Grazie ancora per il supporto e la grande professionalità A presto, L.T.

    - F.G. - E-1 Visa Applicant in Rome, Italy

  • In my quest to be able to work in United States, after failing to obtain a H1-B visa with other attorneys, I was introduced to Giuseppe and Rosanna by a satisfied client of them. Giuseppe interviewed me and found the right Visa for me, listening and understanding the situation. They helped and supported during all the process, filing an E-1 Visa Application for me, and made it as much as stress free as possible. Giuseppe assisted in all follow-up correspondence with the Consulate and even clarified what additional documents I should bring with me at the interview. Top notch professionals, always kind and helpful, I definitely recommend them and will go back to them in case of need.

  • Abbiamo utilizzato i servizi dell'Avv. Scagliarini nel corso dell'anno 2011 e 2012. Inizialmente ci ha supportato egregiamente nella richiesta di un visto L1A in quanto l'azienda in Italia di cui ero Presidente era stata acquistata a un'azienda Americana e personalmente trasferito negli USA. In questa fase ci e stata molto utile la Sua esperienza e i Suoi consigli per ottenere in tempi rapidi e addirittura senza alcuna richiesta da parte dell'ufficio immigrazione di ulteriore documentazione il visto. Puntuale e preciso, ci siamo trovati veramente molto bene. Successivamente si e creata una situazione di emergenza e il supporto dell'avv. Scagliarini e' stato ancora piu cruciale ed importante, riuscendo a risolvere in modo egregio, rapido e puntuale la nostra situazione e facendoci ottenere un visto E2 da noi molto agognato. Non posso che suggerire a chiunque ma ovviamente maggiormente a chi proviene dall'Italia data la facilita' di linguaggio, di utilizzare l'Avv. Scagliarini specialmente perche per esperienza diretta il processo di immigrazione USA pur funzionando molto bene ha bisogno di essere capito e conosciuto molto bene. Non posso che ringraziare a nome mio e di mia moglie l'avv. Scagliarini per tutto il supporto e per averci risolto una situazione che a noi sembrava molto complicata. Grazie ancora

    - F.C.

  • Dear Joe, I know how much time you have devoted to helping us obtain the visa. Phew, it is finally done. Thank you so much for you patience. (...) Well, it is done. I hope I won't have to wait five years before seeing you. I for one will probably be back East in September. I'd love to take you out for a good lunch. Many Thanks. Appreciatively,

    - F. P.

  • Caro Giuseppe, ce l'abbiamo fatta! Volevo ringraziarti per tutto quello che hai fatto per me, per aver preso a cuore il mio caso, per la serietà e l'impegno. Il 28/04 dovrei essere a Newport, quindi avrò modo di ringraziarti di persona. Grazie ancora per tutto. Un abbraccio.

  • Dear Giuseppe, 
 We have finally obtained E-2 visas for all the family. I wanted to thank you for all your professional assistance, which was of great help not only in securing approval of our visa application, but also in all the various phases of the long negotiations necessary to acquire the U.S. Business. Your competence and your advice were always priceless, and allowed us to see to completion an extremely complex transaction. Following your directives, and thanks to all the work performed before we even applied for our investor visas, we were able to undertake the consular interview with ease and peace of mind, and without any surprises. We are now ready to start our new life in the United States! Thanks for everything you did for us!

    - Alfredo and Daniela

  • Dear Giuseppe, I have just come back from the Consulate. Everything went well, and the Consulate issued the visa without a problem. I must confess that I was a little worried since the Consul denied the applications of to the two people in line in front of me. On the contrary, I was not asked a single question because the documents that we submitted were abundantly clear. They did not ask any questions about my prior overstay either, we never even started the conversation. They took my fingerprints and in a minute I was outside with my visa stamp. I wanted to thank you for all the work that you performed for me preparing all the supporting documents perfectly, and because you have always been of great help.

    - F.M., E-2 visa applicant at the U.S. Consulate General in Milan, Italy

Visto L-1

BACK TO DIRECTORYNEXT TOPIC

Avvocato per Visto L-1 per gli USA –  Visto L-1 Per Dirigenti e Personale Specializzato

ENGLISH

L-1 Scagliarinilaw – Avvocato per Visto L-1.

L’Avvocato Giuseppe Scagliarini offre assistenza a imprese per il rilascio del Visto L-1 (L-1A e L-1B) per gli USA. Il visto L-1 per gli Stati Uniti di America e’ una importante categoria di visto USA a disposizione di dirigenti, managers e lavoratori in possesso di know-how di impresa e l’Avvocato Scagliarini e’ in grado di facilitare aziende di ogni tipo nell’ottenimento di questa tipologia di visto per gli Stati Uniti d’America. Piccole e grandi aziende possono trasferire dipendenti negli Stati Uniti avvalendosi del visto L-1 (Visto L1-A per Dirigenti e Managers e Visto L1-B per Specialized Knowledge Employees)

I requisiti del visto L-1 per gli USA  sono apparentemente semplici:

 

A) Qualifying Relationship per Visto L-1. Per ottenere l’approvazione di un visto L-1 e’ necessario che sia presente una corretta Struttura Societaria tra la societa’ o filiale che opera negli Stati Uniti e la persona giuridica estera che vuole trasferire i propri dipendenti negli USA.  Nel contesto del Visto L-1 “Struttura Societaria’ significa in pratica che il Petitioner che firma la domanda di Visto L-1 deve avere una “parent, branch, subsidiary or office” in un paese terzo rispetto agli Stati Uniti.

Inoltre, per tutta la durata di ammissione con Visto L-1, l’azienda deve continuare a essere attiva sia negli Stati Uniti che in almeno un’altro paese, direttamente oppure per mezzo di una controllata, holding, filiale, branch o “affiliate company”. Questo preclude l’utilizzo del Visto L-1 da parte di piccole imprese e professionisti che intendano chiudere la propria attività’ e trasferirsi completamente negli Stati Uniti.

 

B) Qualifying Employment per Visto L-1. Il detentore di Visto L-1A per Dirigenti Aziendali (Manager or Executive) o di Visto L-1B per Personale Specializzato (Specialized Knowledge Employee) deve avere lavorato all’estero per la societa’ che richiede il visto L-1 per almeno 1 anno negli ultimi 3 anni prima della domanda di visto. Spesso sia al momento della domanda iniziale di visto L-1 che in sede di richiesta di rinnovo del visto vengono chiesta documentazione sotto forma di buste paga e trattenute per verificare l’esistenza di questo importante requisito.

Inoltre, per ottenere il visto L-1, questo anno di esperienza precedente al trasferimento negli USA deve essere “continuo”, cioe’ senza interruzioni. Precedenti soggiorni di breve durata negli Stati Uniti normalmente non interrompono la “continuity'” di tale periodo di impiego di 1 anno ma non possono essere contati al fine di maturare l’ano necessario per soddisfare il requisito in questione ai fini di ottenere il visto L-1.

 

C) Qualifying Capacity per Visto L-1. Il trasferimento deve essere richiesto per permettere al dipendente di ricoprire mansioni Esecutive, Manageriali, o Specializzate negli Stati Uniti per la societa’ che ha richiesto il visto L-1 (L-1 Petitioner) e il beneficiario della richiesta di Visto L-1 deve avere lavorato al di fuori degli Stati Uniti con mansioni Esecutive, Manageriali, o Specializzate prima del trasferimento.

Questo non significa che il trasferimento L-1 debba avvenire per svolgere negli Stati Uniti mansioni identiche a quelle svolte all’estero. E’ possibile per esempio richiedere il trasferimento con visto L-1B per Personale Specializzato per dipendenti che abbian omaturato esperienza precedente come L-1A Executive or Managers, e viceversa possono essere trasferiti in USA come L-1A Executive and Managers dipendenti che abbiano precedentemente lavorato alle dipendenze dell’azienda come L-1B Specialized Knowlege Workers (cosi’ come i termini sono correntemente definiti e interpretati da USCIS). See Matter of Vaillancourt.

 

D) Durata del Visto L-1. I Visti L-1 possono essere rilasciati in incrementi successivi fino a un massimo di sette anni per L-1A Managers and Executives e cinque anni per L-1B Specialized Knowledge workers.

 

E) Visto L-2. Il coniuge e figli minori del beneficiario di un visto L-1 possono ottenere visto L-2 per familiari e, ormai da alcuni anni, il detentore di visto L-2 come coniuge puo’ richiedere autorizzazione per lavorare legalmente durante il proprio soggiorno negli Stati Uniti.

Ognuna di queste definizioni e’ soggetta a una molteciplita’ di interpretazioni in sede di richiesta di visto. Sono le due compagnie effetivamente “affiliate”? Sono le mansioni proposte sufficienemente dirigenziali? Particolare scrutinio ha ricevuto di recente l’interpretazione di che cosa costituisce “Specialized Knowledge” sufficiente per l’emissione di un visto L-1.  Allo stesso tempo, il rilascio di visto L1 per gli USA e’ talvolta il richiesto all’atto di apertura di una nuova filiale, sussidiaria o branch e per questa fattispecie (“new office”) sono richiesti alcuni requisiti particolari. L’Avvocato Scagliarini ha comprovata esperienza e’ in grado di assistervi nell’ottenere il Visto L-1A per Executives, Managers, and Specialized Knowledge Workers.

Molto spesso il tempestivo esito favorevole della richiesta di visto L-1 comporta conseguenze importanti per l’impresa richiedende: per esempio la capacita’ di soddisfare requisiti contrattuali gia’ in essere con controparti negli Stati Uniti, oppure l’abilita’ di concludere detti contratti presentandosi come una organizzazione che abbia una presenza anche sul territorio degli Stati Uniti d’America. 

 

Visto L-1 per un “New Office”.  In aggiunta a quanto sopra, esiste una sottospecie di visto L-1 per personale trasferito negli USA per aprire ed avviare una nuova azienda (“New Office” L-1 visa).

Si tenga anche presente che talvolta il visto L-1 può’ non essere l’unica alternativa, per esempio e’ sempre utile esaminare la possibilità’ di trasferire il dirigente (Manager o Executive) con visto E-1, visto E-2, visto H-1B o con visto B-1.

Inoltre, i requisiti per il visto L-1A sono essenzialmente gli stessi, o per lo meno molto simili, a quelli per ottenere la residenza permanente (“Green Card”) quali Multinational Managers or Executive (EB-1 Permanent Residence) ed e talvolta possibile dopo essere entrati negli USA come L-1 “trasformare” il proprio status a quello di Permanent Resident. Passare da un Visto L-1 a una Green Card comporta attenta pianificazione e va programmato con largo anticipo per anticipare possibili problemi in sede di richiesta di residenza permanente.

 

Per chi cerca informazioni gratuite di carattere generale, oltre a questo sito, consigliamo di visitare il sito della Missione degli Stati Uniti in Italia, sezione Visti Nonimmigranti (Visti di categoria H, L, O, P) o il sito USCIS alla pagina “Understanding L-1 Visa Requirements “.

In particolare per aziende per cui l’esito positivo sia cruciale per la missione dell’impresa, e che comprendano i vantaggi di lavorare con un avvocato per il Visto L-1 per gli USA, raccomandiamo caldamente di consultare il nostro Studio Legale per per avvalersi dell’esperienza e assistenza dall’Avvocato Scagliarini in materia di visti per gli Stati Uniti d’America.

 

A tutti ci sforziamo di offrire il massimo della disponibilita’, cortesia, professionalita’, e di tenere sempre presente in primis gli obbiettivi concreti dell’azienda.

Se cercate un Avvocato per il Visto L-1 per gli USA non esitate a contattarci e sara’ nostra cura mettere la nostra esperienza al servizio della vostra impresa.

 

Visto L-1B per Lavoratori Specializzati. USCIS ha recentemente pubblicato un Policy Memorandum che consolida l’interpretazione di “specialized knowledge” nel contesto della richiesta di visto L-1B per personale specializzato di aziende multinazionali.

Questo tipo di visto per gli Stati Uniti e’ a nostro avviso sottoutilizzato e in casi appropriati può’ essere utilizzato per trasferire dipendenti chiave negli Stati Uniti.

Purtroppo, USCIS ha tradizionalmente assunto  una posizione restrittiva nell’interpretazione di quali dipendenti sia in possesso di “specialized knowledge” ai fini del visto L-1B ma in molti casi e’ importante non escludere a priori la possibilità’ di richiedere questo tipo di visto.

Tra l’altro, la domanda di visto L-1B può’ essere soggetta a “Premium Processing” assicurando tempi di risposta ristretti (15 gg per una prima  risposta, approval, denial or Request for Evidence).

 

Anche se il memorandum in questione non risolve interamente ne’ chiarisce completamente quali lavoratori siano effettivamente eleggibili per il visto L-1B, il tono generale sembra chiaramente puntare per una interpretazione meno restrittiva della frase “specialized knowledge worker” nel contesto del visto L-1.

 

Questa e’ un area in rapida evoluzione e di difficile prevedibilità’ nell’esito e consigliamo a tutti di rivolgersi a un avvocato con esperienza concreta di richieste di visto L-1A e L1-B e di non affidarsi al fai-da-te.

  • Giuseppe has been amazing, during the past 7 years, I have received three O-1 Visas and 1 EB-2 NIW approval, with his help and professional support. I will always recommend him to everybody who needs an immigration lawyer. He is precise, detailed, extremely meticulous and he gets things done. He was really precious and I am grateful I found him.

  • La devo ringraziare sentitamente! Il merito e’ soprattutto suo, che e’ riuscito a creare il caso e lo ha presentato perfettamente. Tutti gli avvocati che avevo sentito in questi anni mi avevano solo proposto EB2 con Perm, oppure di tentare EB1, che probabilmente sarebbe stato (negato).

  • I want to express my deep respect to attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini. My family and I hired Giuseppe to assist us in obtaining a Green Card. The case was extremely complex, under many profiles. Giuseppe lead us in this battle, through documents, offices, pandemic, translations, audits, and much more. I appreciated his wisdom, his acume in finding solutions time by time. And his kindness too. In the end, we managed to get the Green card for me, my wife and my two kids. Giuseppe, you are a terrific attorney, and we’ll always be grateful to you.

    - F.S., Rome, Italy

  • Caro Giuseppe, Ce l’ho fatta! Ce l’abbiamo fatta! Perché senza di te tutto questo percorso sarebbe stato infinitamente più duro e perché tutto è partito con te e ti devo un’ enorme riconoscenza! Ho sudato freddo ma l’intervista è andata bene! E mercoledì ho la cerimonia di giuramento. Non mi sembra vero… Sette anni da quando ho deciso di intraprendere questo percorso… Dal profondo del cuore davvero grazie, del sostegno, del tuo aiuto e della tua umanità! E ci sarà ancora modo di sentirci e spero non soltanto per lavoro. Intanto GRAZIE e un abbraccio strabordante di felicità dalla West Coast

  • Il mio visto J-1 era a rischio di essere rifiutato ex Ina 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(ii) ma grazie ad un memorandum preparato con i fiocchi dall'avvocato Scagliarini, il visto e' stato accettato al primo colpo - senza bisogno di alcun tipo di waiver! La ringrazio ancora moltissimo!

  • Buongiorno, Volevo informarla che al colloquio hanno approvato la nostra richiesta. Mi è stato detto che entro 30 giorni circa dovrebbe arrivare la green card. La ringraziamo molto per l'aiuto professionale che ci ha fornito e siamo felici che sia andato tutto a buon fine. Cordiali saluti,

    - Camilla

  • I could not thank enough Mr. Scagliarini. He followed and supported our path to a green card that lasted 8 years with many difficulties and obstacles finding always the right solution for us to keep going. It is very hard to find an immigration lawyer that is professional, has a deep and updated knowledge of the immigration law in US and he is also always available in case of need. Receiving today that approval of the green card has been a success that I definitely share with Mr. Scagliarini. Grazie F.C., Phoenix AZ

  • Avvocato Scagliarini, Anche noi ci teniamo a ringraziarla in anticipo, per essere stato fin da subito realista e fiducioso, puntuale ad ogni nostra richiesta, professionale ma soprattutto corretto.

  • Dear Giuseppe, I’ve had a rough path when it comes to immigration lawyers. Many let downs, complicated cases and lack of attention. Finally I decided to enquire about a possible E1 visa with your firm and since the first meeting I felt the attention that my case deserved. You guided me the right way and made me understand how the process worked. Even with the difficult times that the American Immigration process is facing now, you were able to assist me the fastest way possible with the approval of my E1 Visa. Thank you so much for the assistance. Your knowledge and, most importantly, passion towards the law is what makes your firm the best I’ve worked with. My best,

  • Dear Giuseppe, Such wonderful news! After a long journey this moment finally arrived, _________ and I can start a new chapter of our life together. This is like a dream come true! We want to deeply thank you for your precious help and your professionalism. It was great pleasure meeting you and being supported by your perfect guidance. The Consulate has not contacted me yet, I will wait for their email or your updates, if any, regarding the attempt to resume the processing of the K-1 visa. We hope that life will reserve to both you and Rosanna the best. You help people like me to change their lives for the better. With graditude, THANK YOU.

  • “L’avv Scagliarini si è preso a cuore il nostro caso con rara umanità e con competenza e precisione è riuscito ad ottenere con una sola mail l’agognato visto F1 che attendevamo inutilmente da tre settimane, bloccato da non precisate ragioni burocratiche senza riuscire ad avere alcuna notizia dal consolato. Rapido, competente ed efficace ci ha tolto da una situazione molto difficile comprendendo anche le difficoltà e il disagio di un ragazzo appena ventenne a cui era stato revocato il visto a seguito di un DUI, tra l’altro dichiarato illegittimo. Grazie Avv. Scagliarini”

La ringrazio di cuore per la sua disponibilità umana, per la sua professionalità, per il suo lavoro preziosissimo. Ringrazi anche la sua assistente. Non mancherò di fare il suo nome a chiunque dovesse avere bisogno di un avvocato che si occupi di visti e immigrazione. Mi sento finalmente sollevata e felice.

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I have just received this instant the telephone call from the Consulate that I had been waiting for so anxiously. The visa will be issued. Unfortunately, I will miss the important meeting scheduled for tomorrow that I had hoped to attend, but at least (...) this will not happen again in the future. Thank you very much for your assistance. Sincerely,

    - Applicant for Nonimmigrant Waiver of Admissibility (Name Withheld).

  • In my quest to be able to work in United States, after failing to obtain a H1-B visa with other attorneys, I was introduced to Giuseppe and Rosanna by a satisfied client of them. Giuseppe interviewed me and found the right Visa for me, listening and understanding the situation. They helped and supported during all the process, filing an E-1 Visa Application for me, and made it as much as stress free as possible. Giuseppe assisted in all follow-up correspondence with the Consulate and even clarified what additional documents I should bring with me at the interview. Top notch professionals, always kind and helpful, I definitely recommend them and will go back to them in case of need.

  • Carissimo Giuseppe, Oggi ho ricevuto da te la splendida notizia dell'approvazione della nostra petizione per l'ottenimento della green card Eb1(a) "Alien with extraodinary Ability" Io, e la mia famiglia siamo stati molto fortunati ad aver incontrato (su Internet) un professionista così attento, valido e qualificato come tu ti sei rivelato durante l'assistenza che ci hai fornito. Sei sempre stato onesto sulle prospettive e le probabilità di riuscita dell'impresa e non ci hai mai illuso, non solo ma hai anche saputo spronarci ad assumere l'attegiamento psicologico giusto nell'affrontare la cosa. Hai saputo a nostro avviso selezionare e sintetizzare al meglio tutta la documentazione che ti abbiamo inviato e l'hai presentata ed esposta con maestria e dovizia di particolari. Ogni argomentazione è stata poi da te evidenziata con riferimenti giuridici inerenti e precisi così da poter limitare le possibilità di replica negativa da parte dell'esaminatore della pratica. Insomma MEGLIO NON POTEVAMO CAPITARE!!! Presto Io e la mia famiglia ci trasferiremo negli USA e siamo certi che con questa tua performance da professionista serio e da amico (ormai possiamo dire di essere diventati anche amici no?) ti sei guadagnato il posto di legale rappresentante in USA della nostra famiglia, in futuro per qualsiasi cosa siamo sicuri che presso il tuo studio troveremo sempre il consiglio e la consulenza migliore possibile. Con Affetto e grande riconoscenza, Marco & Liliana Marzocca Cuni, Roma, Italia

  • It is my pleasure to share with you my experience working with Giuseppe upon obtaining my Permanent Resident Card. My wife and I met at the university in Boston and decided to get married a few years after. Giuseppe was recommended to us by a family member, and broke down the process of getting a visa, and the importance of providing evidence of faithful marriage. Giuseppe was very effective and sharp in terms of building a strong case and identifying areas of strengths and weaknesses. He always followed up with emails and put us in the best condition to show up at the interview. He was present during the interview and reassured me and my wife throughout the process, telling us to just be ourselves. A few minutes after the interview, my application was approved and I received my green card a week following the interview. Overall, I would highly recommend using Giuseppe's service as he is very knowledgable, precise, professional and yet personable and truly cares about his clients.

  • Abbiamo utilizzato i servizi dell'Avv. Scagliarini nel corso dell'anno 2011 e 2012. Inizialmente ci ha supportato egregiamente nella richiesta di un visto L1A in quanto l'azienda in Italia di cui ero Presidente era stata acquistata a un'azienda Americana e personalmente trasferito negli USA. In questa fase ci e stata molto utile la Sua esperienza e i Suoi consigli per ottenere in tempi rapidi e addirittura senza alcuna richiesta da parte dell'ufficio immigrazione di ulteriore documentazione il visto. Puntuale e preciso, ci siamo trovati veramente molto bene. Successivamente si e creata una situazione di emergenza e il supporto dell'avv. Scagliarini e' stato ancora piu cruciale ed importante, riuscendo a risolvere in modo egregio, rapido e puntuale la nostra situazione e facendoci ottenere un visto E2 da noi molto agognato. Non posso che suggerire a chiunque ma ovviamente maggiormente a chi proviene dall'Italia data la facilita' di linguaggio, di utilizzare l'Avv. Scagliarini specialmente perche per esperienza diretta il processo di immigrazione USA pur funzionando molto bene ha bisogno di essere capito e conosciuto molto bene. Non posso che ringraziare a nome mio e di mia moglie l'avv. Scagliarini per tutto il supporto e per averci risolto una situazione che a noi sembrava molto complicata. Grazie ancora

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I would like to thank you for a job well done. My Green Card Petition has been approved and I am so thrilled. Not only have you offered sound professional advice, but also provided a warm person to person assistance. I particulalrly appreciated how easily I could get in touch with you and how timely your answers were. Your presence at the Interview was an extra bonus...with a Guardian Angel physically beside us what could go wrong? Thank you again and God Bless.

    - G.S.

  • Dear Joe, I know how much time you have devoted to helping us obtain the visa. Phew, it is finally done. Thank you so much for you patience. (...) Well, it is done. I hope I won't have to wait five years before seeing you. I for one will probably be back East in September. I'd love to take you out for a good lunch. Many Thanks. Appreciatively,

  • I'm so happy! Thank you Giuseppe! For your representation and services, I'm so pleased I had you with me on this journey. I do feel very reflective and grateful. I think of my parents bringing me here at a young age and how my life would not be what it is today if I weren't here in this country I have the privilege of calling home. You and Rosanna's names will live on in our home for years to come as we tell [our son] his birth story. Thank you!

  • Caro Giuseppe, ce l'abbiamo fatta! Volevo ringraziarti per tutto quello che hai fatto per me, per aver preso a cuore il mio caso, per la serietà e l'impegno. Il 28/04 dovrei essere a Newport, quindi avrò modo di ringraziarti di persona. Grazie ancora per tutto. Un abbraccio.

  • Dear Giuseppe, 
 We have finally obtained E-2 visas for all the family. I wanted to thank you for all your professional assistance, which was of great help not only in securing approval of our visa application, but also in all the various phases of the long negotiations necessary to acquire the U.S. Business. Your competence and your advice were always priceless, and allowed us to see to completion an extremely complex transaction. Following your directives, and thanks to all the work performed before we even applied for our investor visas, we were able to undertake the consular interview with ease and peace of mind, and without any surprises. We are now ready to start our new life in the United States! Thanks for everything you did for us!

    - Alfredo and Daniela

  • Dear Giuseppe, I have just come back from the Consulate. Everything went well, and the Consulate issued the visa without a problem. I must confess that I was a little worried since the Consul denied the applications of to the two people in line in front of me. On the contrary, I was not asked a single question because the documents that we submitted were abundantly clear. They did not ask any questions about my prior overstay either, we never even started the conversation. They took my fingerprints and in a minute I was outside with my visa stamp. I wanted to thank you for all the work that you performed for me preparing all the supporting documents perfectly, and because you have always been of great help.

    - F.M., E-2 visa applicant at the U.S. Consulate General in Milan, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, I just would like to thank you for helping me to get closer to my dream of fulfilling myself personally and professionally in this lovely country by assisting me in obtaining my H-1B visa. I cannot overestimate the importance of your help, professional and personal support which I’ve experienced throughout the immigration process. Your skillfulness and motivation reassured me in high probability of positive outcome, even if sometimes situation looked unfavorable to me. Thanks to your ability to overcome those obstacles I’ve received the desired visa approval. I would sincerely recommend your services for anyone’s immigration needs. Kind Regards,

  • Dear Attorney Scagliarini: I have just come back from my trip to the USA: a fantastic experience! By receiving a prestigious international award, I finally could bring to fruition the efforts and sacrifices of a year of hard work. All this seemed impossible until a few months ago when, due to a youthful indiscretion, I was denied the right to travel to the Untied States, so important for my professional standing. Due to the complexities of U.S. Immigration Law, I feared that my young but already promising career (as a Medical Researcher) had reached a dead end. Instead, after a diligent search for records and information performed under your representation and guidance, I could obtain what I did not dare to hope anymore (a business visa for unlimited entries to the United States). Now I feel that having overcome these difficulties will be an additional motivating factor in everything I do. All this would not have been possible without the professionalism, availability, and efforts that you systematically showed in every aspect of my representation. Thank you.

  • Thank you!!! I can’t find words to say thanks enough for all the help and support we got from Joe Scagliarini. Last year our world ended when my sister’s green card was denied. I called Mr. Scagliarini and asked for advice. I was asking for a miracle and he made it happen!!! He wrote a (petition for a) waiver which was granted in Vienna and my sister and my nieces are coming to the U.S.A. in two weeks. Words hardly seem enough to express our thanks for all his help. I met a lot of lawyers looking for advice and help, but nobody was so professional and caring like Joe and his staff (special thanks to Rosanna!). He always answered my calls, even from Italy where he was on vacation. He never left me with unanswered questions. Thank you for everything, for reuniting my family. Thank you again. You are the best lawyer anybody could ever ask for! Sincerely,

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, Dario sends his thanks for your time today. When we spoke first on Friday, I described it to Dario as a little hole of light surrounded by darkness that opened - where we need to focus our energy to make bigger. Dario described it as finding the X and now it is up to us to start digging. I feel comfortable that Dario was able to speak with you in Italian so that he understands his options completely. This case will take time but I will let you know if and when we arrive in full light.

  • I really want to say thank you to Mr. Scagliarini for helping me to get my H-1 B Visa. His precious and careful support was priceless. I am happy to have trusted him for something so important for my life and so difficult to get.

  • Dear Joe, Words hardly seem enough to express our heartfelt thanks for all your help and support up through and through our interview. Your knowledge of immigration law and procedure, along with your attention to detail and calming competence made filing the (immigrant petition) a positive experience. You always made very clear and easy to understand what you needed from us, for when, and most importantly why. You answered every question we had in a timely manner with patience and compassion. Never once did we feel overlooked or as if our case did not matter. Joe, as you said after our interview - between all our smiles, tears of joy and hugs, "now you two really get to begin your lives together and really get to make those dreams you talked about come true." Yes, we do get to make our dreams come true - because of your professional and yet caring services. You will always have our highest regards and recommendations. And I know that we will always have your information at hand for others we may come across that asks us "who should we turn to?" With our sincere thanks and appreciation,

  • Good Morning Attorney Scagliarini, I am writing to inform you that the immigrant visa interview went well as well as the medical examination. The Doctor raised some issues with (my brother's) health, but in the end he was able to assist us. We all received immigrant visas, to be used within six months of approval. Within this period we will have to enter the U.S. and surrender the sealed envelopes that were issued to us by the U.S. Embassy in Naples. Everything looks OK and we should received the actual green cards shortly after our entry... I wanted to thank you for assisting us in this process and for believing in us and seeing this difficult case to a successful outcome. I hope one day to be able to thank you in person. Kind regards,

    - Elisabetta Micco, Villa Verrucchio, Rimini, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, Thank you for the outstanding work performed by you and your staff on our behalf. I truly appreciate the attention doted on my wife Yesenia. I was honestly expecting a denial of her waiver petition since the U.S. Embassy in Rome had been sitting on the application without any action for a prolonged period of time. After waiting for an answer for approximately nine months, we decided to contact an attorney expert in U.S. Immigration law. In my opinion, Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini has been extremely professional and kind in all his dealings with us, in one month he obtained the approval of my wife’s waiver and we just received notice of approval of her visa from the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Emanuele and Yesenia extend heartfelt thanks to Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini.

  • Dear Joe, When Mario and I first started the immigration process after we were married we didn’t realize how long, frustrating, and expensive it was going to be. After a long first year with a bad lawyer and no progress, Mario and I were about to throw in the towel. It wasn’t until we met you that we saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to a mutual friend, we were introduced to you and our hope that seemed lost was reborn again. Even from the first time we met, you genuinely seemed concerned about our situation and wanted to help us. You were honest and direct yet always optimistic. You always had time for us whether it via e-mail, by phone, or in person and you honestly made us feel that we were your only clients. We also greatly appreciated the fact that you took into account our financial situation and set us up with a payment plan. Even though the process took longer than any of us anticipated the outcome was what we all hoped for and my husband is now home with his family, this time as a legal resident. Thank you so much Joe and your lovely wife Rita for all your hard work and positive thinking to help reunite my family and to give Mario the opportunity to live the American Dream. Without you it would never have happened. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

    - Kerri, Mario, and Neil, Newport, RI, U.S.A.

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, It's so nice to hear that the petition has been approved. I'm thankful that God's favor is with us. With how things work, it's just amazing!

Thank you & know that you are in my prayers. God bless!!!

Your assistance made possible to get our L1 Visa and L2 Visas in a very short time. You helped Cristina with her L2 Visa work authorization in different occasions (you always returned my numerous “desperate” phone calls). And you supported us this year during the renewal process. Most of all thank you for your friendship…

  • Hi Joe, I really appreciated all your attention and dedication on my case. It was pleasant working with you, I wish you the best in future cases. About the medicals, the immigration officer showed me the day of the interview some information that my doctor missed, so I told him that I could get it right away ( to avoid another appointment) , so I did, I ran to my doctor's office right after my interview, I got what I need it from her, and then I went back to the immigration office and gave it to officer personally, and he said, this it, you'll be getting your green card in a month, and guess what ,,,,, I got it 5 days after that, I was really surprised and very happy, very happy. Thank You Joe, Great Job!!!

  • Dear Giuseppe, Thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping us acquire our E2 visas for our Chefs Gianluca and Michele. Under our particular circumstances, it was by no means an easy feat. I am sure it was one of the more difficult and impossible E2 visas to obtain, but we succeeded. Your loyalty, your commitment to the case, your everlasting patience, determination and knowledge made us stay the road... We have had a successful summer with Gianluca and Michele, and many thanks to you for that. You always have a table at Pasta Beach. Next time we need a visa, I know it will be a lot easier. With our warmest regards,

All your phone calls and all your attention made me feel that I had someone working as hard as I was to get my work visa. My life has changed so much now that I have peace of mind about my financial situation; getting my job was the beginning of my life here in the United States and I know I can count on you whenever I need you, either for advice or for other professional services.

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini: Myself, but especially my life partner and my children, want to express our immeasurable gratitude for your assistance and the positive results, totally unexpected on our part, that you obtained on our behalf. I will forever remember your initial reluctance to undertake our representation (given the uncertain outcome of the case), but then believing that a positive outcome was possible we all decided to work together, and the approval of my nonimmigrant waiver followed. I wish to renew my sincerest thank you.

    - F. M., Italy

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I wanted to let you know that everything went well upon our entry into the U.S.. At the airport, it was sufficient to show (CBP) my visa paperwork and nothing else. Thank you for your careful assistance, for your availability throughout this past year, and for your precious legal advice, which in this country is truly invaluable (especially when one travels with all the family). I want to thank also your assistant Rosanna who has also shown at all times kindness and professionalism when dealing with me when you were not available. I highly recommend that anyone who is considering filing for U.S. immigration benefits contact you first, in order to avoid all sorts of unpleasant surprises.

    - A.T., Rome, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, Rarely my fiancee' and I have been as happy in a professional relationship as we have been with your Law Offices and with your legal services. Your extremely detailed legal advice was what allowed us to start our new U.S. business. We consider ourselves very lucky, especially in light of the fact that another friend of ours (who did not use your legal services) was just denied admission and turned back at the border. Thank You Again,

    - Mattia and Alice, Fano, Italy

  • I am extremely thankful for your extremely attentive and detailed and attentive legal assistance that allowed us to undertake this new project

    - M.C. & A.R.

  • I would like to thank you for the clarity of your counsel. It is the first time, after seeking in the past the advice of several other lawyers, that I can affirm to have a clear picture about my immigration status. Thanks to the relevant information that you provided me.

Visto E-1

BACK TO DIRECTORYNEXT TOPIC

Visto E-1

(E-1 Visa; Treaty Trader Visa)

AVVOCATO PER VISTO E-1

ENGLISH

E’ necessario utilizzare i servizi di un avvocato per il visto E-1?

 

Strettamente parlando, il consolato puo’ decidere la domanda indipendentemente dal fatto che il candidato sia rappresentato o meno da un avvocato di diritto di Immigrazione. Il fai-da-te pero’ puo’ avere dei riscontri negativi, per le moltecipli difficolta’ di reperimento delle informazioni,  discrezionalità’ del processo di aggiudicazione del visto, e per le conseguenze negative in caso di rifiuto (questo vale non solo per il visto E-1 ma per qualsiasi tipo di visto), e sconsigliamo di affidarsi a una “agenzia” visti – riceviamo un numero elevato di telefonate ed email da persone che sono state compromesse da individui o aziende non autorizzate a esercitare la professione legale.

 

In materia di visti per gli Stati Uniti, una delle categorie meno conosciute e’ quella del Visto E-1 per “Treaty Traders” (E-1 Visa).

La categoria di Visto E-1 e’ basata su trattati di commercio internazionale e puo’ consentire il trasferimento negli Sati Uniti di titolari di azienda, dirigenti e managers e personale specializzato qualora il requisito sufficiente scambio commerciale tra Italia e Stati Uniti sia presente  e gli altri estremi normativi per rientrare nella definizione di “E-1 Treaty Trader” siano presenti.

Il visto E-1 per gli USA e’ normalmente emesso per durata quinquennale, e’  rinnovabile indefinitivamente finche’ ne sussistono i presupposti e permette al coniuge del   titolare principale del visto E-1 di ottenere permesso di lavoro, ma richede una documentazione scrupolosa relativa alla quantità’, qualità’, frequenza degli scambi e dell’oggetto degli stessi e della nazionalita’ della impresa, e un accurata presentazione e presentazione della percentuale di commercio internazionale della azienda che hai fini del visto E-1 deve essere superiore al 50% del commercio internazionale complessivo della azienda.

La possibilita’ di ottenere un visto E-1 non va scartata neppure per piccole e medie imprese, perché’ la legge e i regolamenti attuativi specificano che non va escluso il “piccolo imprenditore” che abbia un volume e una frequenza sufficiente di scambi, e neanche per grandi aziende  multinazionali gia’ presenti in USA che possano simultaneamente qualificare i propri dipendenti per il visto E-2, per il visto visti L-1, o per il visto H1B, o altre categorie di visto per gli Stati Uniti. E’  quindi opportuno effettuare una analisi completa di costi e benefici prima di scartare questa o qualsiasi altra categoria di visto per gli USA.

In maniera del tutto simile al Visto E-2, Il Visto E-1 per gli Stati Uniti può’ essere richiesto, qualora i requisiti siano presenti, per trasferire negli Stati Uniti un proprietario che detenga almeno 50% della proprietà’ dell’azienda (Visto E-1 per Principal Trader),  che per Dirigenti (Visto E-21 per Executives o Managers) o per Lavoratori Specializzati (Visto E-1 per Essential Workers) definiti come personale essenziale all’esercizio dell’impresa.

Alcuni recenti sviluppi a seguito dell’Executive Order “Buy American and Hire American“ del 18 Aprile 2017 potrebbero rendere piu’ difficoltoso il rilascio di visto E-2 per dipendenti essenziali. Si prega di usare cautela e documentare attentamente la richiesta di visto E-1 per dipendenti compreso una analisi della essenzialità’ dell’esperienza del candidato e anche una analisi della disponibilità’ o meno degli skills in questione nell’U.S. Labor Market. Questo e’ da lungo tempo richiesto, ma aneddoticamente sta assumendo sempre maggiore importanza nella determinazione della eleggibilità’ del candidato al visto a seguito dell’Executive Order citato sopra.

 

Inoltre, come accennato, il coniuge e figli minori del detentore di un visto E-1 (“E-1 Principal”) possono chiedere e ottenere il visto E-1 come “dependents”. Una volta entrato negli USA, il coniuge (ma non i figli minori) del titolare di visto E-1  puo’ ottenere Employment Authorization Document (Permesso di Lavoro) senza restrizioni nel tipo di mansioni o datore di lavoro.

 

Normalmente, all’ingresso negli Stati Uniti con visto E-1 viene concesso un periodo autorizzato di soggiorno di 2 anni (il Visto E-1 autorizza l’entrata durante il periodo normalmente quinquennale di validità’,  ma non e’ dispositivo dell’ammontare di tempo autorizzato per ciascun soggiorno. Solo CBP, attraverso il modulo I-94, e’ autorizzata a determinare la durata autorizzata per il soggiorno).

  • Giuseppe has been amazing, during the past 7 years, I have received three O-1 Visas and 1 EB-2 NIW approval, with his help and professional support. I will always recommend him to everybody who needs an immigration lawyer. He is precise, detailed, extremely meticulous and he gets things done. He was really precious and I am grateful I found him.

    - L.G., Musician, Songwriter and Composer

  • La devo ringraziare sentitamente! Il merito e’ soprattutto suo, che e’ riuscito a creare il caso e lo ha presentato perfettamente. Tutti gli avvocati che avevo sentito in questi anni mi avevano solo proposto EB2 con Perm, oppure di tentare EB1, che probabilmente sarebbe stato (negato).

    - Client Letter Upon Receipt of EB-2 NIW Approval

  • I want to express my deep respect to attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini. My family and I hired Giuseppe to assist us in obtaining a Green Card. The case was extremely complex, under many profiles. Giuseppe lead us in this battle, through documents, offices, pandemic, translations, audits, and much more. I appreciated his wisdom, his acume in finding solutions time by time. And his kindness too. In the end, we managed to get the Green card for me, my wife and my two kids. Giuseppe, you are a terrific attorney, and we’ll always be grateful to you.

    - F.S., Rome, Italy

  • Caro Giuseppe, Ce l’ho fatta! Ce l’abbiamo fatta! Perché senza di te tutto questo percorso sarebbe stato infinitamente più duro e perché tutto è partito con te e ti devo un’ enorme riconoscenza! Ho sudato freddo ma l’intervista è andata bene! E mercoledì ho la cerimonia di giuramento. Non mi sembra vero… Sette anni da quando ho deciso di intraprendere questo percorso… Dal profondo del cuore davvero grazie, del sostegno, del tuo aiuto e della tua umanità! E ci sarà ancora modo di sentirci e spero non soltanto per lavoro. Intanto GRAZIE e un abbraccio strabordante di felicità dalla West Coast

  • Il mio visto J-1 era a rischio di essere rifiutato ex Ina 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(ii) ma grazie ad un memorandum preparato con i fiocchi dall'avvocato Scagliarini, il visto e' stato accettato al primo colpo - senza bisogno di alcun tipo di waiver! La ringrazio ancora moltissimo!

  • Buongiorno, Volevo informarla che al colloquio hanno approvato la nostra richiesta. Mi è stato detto che entro 30 giorni circa dovrebbe arrivare la green card. La ringraziamo molto per l'aiuto professionale che ci ha fornito e siamo felici che sia andato tutto a buon fine. Cordiali saluti,

    - Camilla

  • I could not thank enough Mr. Scagliarini. He followed and supported our path to a green card that lasted 8 years with many difficulties and obstacles finding always the right solution for us to keep going. It is very hard to find an immigration lawyer that is professional, has a deep and updated knowledge of the immigration law in US and he is also always available in case of need. Receiving today that approval of the green card has been a success that I definitely share with Mr. Scagliarini. Grazie F.C., Phoenix AZ

  • Avvocato Scagliarini, Anche noi ci teniamo a ringraziarla in anticipo, per essere stato fin da subito realista e fiducioso, puntuale ad ogni nostra richiesta, professionale ma soprattutto corretto. Non avremmo potuto scegliere migliore avvocato. Nell'attesa di ricevere l'esito della nostra richiesta le auguriamo Buone Feste.

    - V.P.

  • Gentile avvocato Scagliarini, La ringrazio per la sua gentilezza e mi complimento con lei per la sua professionalità e celerità con cui ha sostenuto la consulenza in oggetto. Abbiamo scritto una mail in ambasciata e domani ci faranno avere maggiori informazioni soprattutto quelle inerenti il passaporto! La terrò aggiornata non appena avremo maggiori notizie. (...) In attesa di ciò le porgo i miei più cordiali saluti e le auguro una felice giornata! A presto,

  • Gentile Avvocato, Tutto bene, il colloquio è stato proprio una formalità. Tre domande in piedi davanti allo sportello: siete sposati? Che lavoro farà? Ha esperienza in questo lavoro? La ringrazio per il risultato e per il lavoro che ha svolto con grande professionalità. Come le avevo anticipato sono andata alla Fontana di Trevi, Roma è sempre una bella città. Cordiali saluti F.G.

  • Dear Giuseppe, I’ve had a rough path when it comes to immigration lawyers. Many let downs, complicated cases and lack of attention. Finally I decided to enquire about a possible E1 visa with your firm and since the first meeting I felt the attention that my case deserved. You guided me the right way and made me understand how the process worked. Even with the difficult times that the American Immigration process is facing now, you were able to assist me the fastest way possible with the approval of my E1 Visa. Thank you so much for the assistance. Your knowledge and, most importantly, passion towards the law is what makes your firm the best I’ve worked with. My best,

    - Nicola - E-1 Visa Applicant in Rome, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, Such wonderful news! After a long journey this moment finally arrived, _________ and I can start a new chapter of our life together. This is like a dream come true! We want to deeply thank you for your precious help and your professionalism. It was great pleasure meeting you and being supported by your perfect guidance. The Consulate has not contacted me yet, I will wait for their email or your updates, if any, regarding the attempt to resume the processing of the K-1 visa. We hope that life will reserve to both you and Rosanna the best. You help people like me to change their lives for the better. With graditude, THANK YOU.

    - Immigrant Waiver Applicant / K-1 VIsa

  • “L’avv Scagliarini si è preso a cuore il nostro caso con rara umanità e con competenza e precisione è riuscito ad ottenere con una sola mail l’agognato visto F1 che attendevamo inutilmente da tre settimane, bloccato da non precisate ragioni burocratiche senza riuscire ad avere alcuna notizia dal consolato. Rapido, competente ed efficace ci ha tolto da una situazione molto difficile comprendendo anche le difficoltà e il disagio di un ragazzo appena ventenne a cui era stato revocato il visto a seguito di un DUI, tra l’altro dichiarato illegittimo. Grazie Avv. Scagliarini”

  • Avvocato Grazie! Ce l'abbiamo fatta!!! la mia intervista è durata si e no 2 minuti. Veramente solo 5 domande.Visto approvato!!!!! La ringrazio di cuore per la sua disponibilità umana, per la sua professionalità, per il suo lavoro preziosissimo. Ringrazi anche la sua assistente. Non mancherò di fare il suo nome a chiunque dovesse avere bisogno di un avvocato che si occupi di visti e immigrazione. Mi sento finalmente sollevata e felice. Spero di poterla invitare ad uno showcase promozionale del disco non appena pronto. A presto Buona giornata ??? Letizia

    - Letizia Gambi, O-1 Visa Applicant

  • Thanks so much Giuseppe, I am always very impressed from how effective and fast your support is. I read the response from the Embassy in Naples and this is a good piece of news! Hopefully we will be able to close our visa process soon. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day.

    - Applicant for Immigrant Waiver in Connection with K-1 Visa Application

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I have just received this instant the telephone call from the Consulate that I had been waiting for so anxiously. The visa will be issued. Unfortunately, I will miss the important meeting scheduled for tomorrow that I had hoped to attend, but at least (...) this will not happen again in the future. Thank you very much for your assistance. Sincerely,

    - Applicant for Nonimmigrant Waiver of Admissibility (Name Withheld).

  • In my quest to be able to work in United States, after failing to obtain a H1-B visa with other attorneys, I was introduced to Giuseppe and Rosanna by a satisfied client of them. Giuseppe interviewed me and found the right Visa for me, listening and understanding the situation. They helped and supported during all the process, filing an E-1 Visa Application for me, and made it as much as stress free as possible. Giuseppe assisted in all follow-up correspondence with the Consulate and even clarified what additional documents I should bring with me at the interview. Top notch professionals, always kind and helpful, I definitely recommend them and will go back to them in case of need.

    - Andrea Iacucci Ostini

  • Carissimo Giuseppe, Oggi ho ricevuto da te la splendida notizia dell'approvazione della nostra petizione per l'ottenimento della green card Eb1(a) "Alien with extraodinary Ability" Io, e la mia famiglia siamo stati molto fortunati ad aver incontrato (su Internet) un professionista così attento, valido e qualificato come tu ti sei rivelato durante l'assistenza che ci hai fornito. Sei sempre stato onesto sulle prospettive e le probabilità di riuscita dell'impresa e non ci hai mai illuso, non solo ma hai anche saputo spronarci ad assumere l'attegiamento psicologico giusto nell'affrontare la cosa. Hai saputo a nostro avviso selezionare e sintetizzare al meglio tutta la documentazione che ti abbiamo inviato e l'hai presentata ed esposta con maestria e dovizia di particolari. Ogni argomentazione è stata poi da te evidenziata con riferimenti giuridici inerenti e precisi così da poter limitare le possibilità di replica negativa da parte dell'esaminatore della pratica. Insomma MEGLIO NON POTEVAMO CAPITARE!!! Presto Io e la mia famiglia ci trasferiremo negli USA e siamo certi che con questa tua performance da professionista serio e da amico (ormai possiamo dire di essere diventati anche amici no?) ti sei guadagnato il posto di legale rappresentante in USA della nostra famiglia, in futuro per qualsiasi cosa siamo sicuri che presso il tuo studio troveremo sempre il consiglio e la consulenza migliore possibile. Con Affetto e grande riconoscenza, Marco & Liliana Marzocca Cuni, Roma, Italia

  • It is my pleasure to share with you my experience working with Giuseppe upon obtaining my Permanent Resident Card. My wife and I met at the university in Boston and decided to get married a few years after. Giuseppe was recommended to us by a family member, and broke down the process of getting a visa, and the importance of providing evidence of faithful marriage. Giuseppe was very effective and sharp in terms of building a strong case and identifying areas of strengths and weaknesses. He always followed up with emails and put us in the best condition to show up at the interview. He was present during the interview and reassured me and my wife throughout the process, telling us to just be ourselves. A few minutes after the interview, my application was approved and I received my green card a week following the interview. Overall, I would highly recommend using Giuseppe's service as he is very knowledgable, precise, professional and yet personable and truly cares about his clients.

  • Abbiamo utilizzato i servizi dell'Avv. Scagliarini nel corso dell'anno 2011 e 2012. Inizialmente ci ha supportato egregiamente nella richiesta di un visto L1A in quanto l'azienda in Italia di cui ero Presidente era stata acquistata a un'azienda Americana e personalmente trasferito negli USA. In questa fase ci e stata molto utile la Sua esperienza e i Suoi consigli per ottenere in tempi rapidi e addirittura senza alcuna richiesta da parte dell'ufficio immigrazione di ulteriore documentazione il visto. Puntuale e preciso, ci siamo trovati veramente molto bene. Successivamente si e creata una situazione di emergenza e il supporto dell'avv. Scagliarini e' stato ancora piu cruciale ed importante, riuscendo a risolvere in modo egregio, rapido e puntuale la nostra situazione e facendoci ottenere un visto E2 da noi molto agognato. Non posso che suggerire a chiunque ma ovviamente maggiormente a chi proviene dall'Italia data la facilita' di linguaggio, di utilizzare l'Avv. Scagliarini specialmente perche per esperienza diretta il processo di immigrazione USA pur funzionando molto bene ha bisogno di essere capito e conosciuto molto bene. Non posso che ringraziare a nome mio e di mia moglie l'avv. Scagliarini per tutto il supporto e per averci risolto una situazione che a noi sembrava molto complicata. Grazie ancora

    - F.C.

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I would like to thank you for a job well done. My Green Card Petition has been approved and I am so thrilled. Not only have you offered sound professional advice, but also provided a warm person to person assistance. I particulalrly appreciated how easily I could get in touch with you and how timely your answers were. Your presence at the Interview was an extra bonus...with a Guardian Angel physically beside us what could go wrong? Thank you again and God Bless.

    - G.S.

  • Dear Joe, I know how much time you have devoted to helping us obtain the visa. Phew, it is finally done. Thank you so much for you patience. (...) Well, it is done. I hope I won't have to wait five years before seeing you. I for one will probably be back East in September. I'd love to take you out for a good lunch. Many Thanks. Appreciatively,

    - F. P.

  • I'm so happy! Thank you Giuseppe! For your representation and services, I'm so pleased I had you with me on this journey. I do feel very reflective and grateful. I think of my parents bringing me here at a young age and how my life would not be what it is today if I weren't here in this country I have the privilege of calling home. You and Rosanna's names will live on in our home for years to come as we tell [our son] his birth story. Thank you!

    - A.O.

  • Caro Giuseppe, ce l'abbiamo fatta! Volevo ringraziarti per tutto quello che hai fatto per me, per aver preso a cuore il mio caso, per la serietà e l'impegno. Il 28/04 dovrei essere a Newport, quindi avrò modo di ringraziarti di persona. Grazie ancora per tutto. Un abbraccio.

  • Dear Giuseppe, 
 We have finally obtained E-2 visas for all the family. I wanted to thank you for all your professional assistance, which was of great help not only in securing approval of our visa application, but also in all the various phases of the long negotiations necessary to acquire the U.S. Business. Your competence and your advice were always priceless, and allowed us to see to completion an extremely complex transaction. Following your directives, and thanks to all the work performed before we even applied for our investor visas, we were able to undertake the consular interview with ease and peace of mind, and without any surprises. We are now ready to start our new life in the United States! Thanks for everything you did for us!

    - Alfredo and Daniela

  • Dear Giuseppe, I have just come back from the Consulate. Everything went well, and the Consulate issued the visa without a problem. I must confess that I was a little worried since the Consul denied the applications of to the two people in line in front of me. On the contrary, I was not asked a single question because the documents that we submitted were abundantly clear. They did not ask any questions about my prior overstay either, we never even started the conversation. They took my fingerprints and in a minute I was outside with my visa stamp. I wanted to thank you for all the work that you performed for me preparing all the supporting documents perfectly, and because you have always been of great help.

    - F.M., E-2 visa applicant at the U.S. Consulate General in Milan, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, I just would like to thank you for helping me to get closer to my dream of fulfilling myself personally and professionally in this lovely country by assisting me in obtaining my H-1B visa. I cannot overestimate the importance of your help, professional and personal support which I’ve experienced throughout the immigration process. Your skillfulness and motivation reassured me in high probability of positive outcome, even if sometimes situation looked unfavorable to me. Thanks to your ability to overcome those obstacles I’ve received the desired visa approval. I would sincerely recommend your services for anyone’s immigration needs. Kind Regards,

  • Dear Attorney Scagliarini: I have just come back from my trip to the USA: a fantastic experience! By receiving a prestigious international award, I finally could bring to fruition the efforts and sacrifices of a year of hard work. All this seemed impossible until a few months ago when, due to a youthful indiscretion, I was denied the right to travel to the Untied States, so important for my professional standing. Due to the complexities of U.S. Immigration Law, I feared that my young but already promising career (as a Medical Researcher) had reached a dead end. Instead, after a diligent search for records and information performed under your representation and guidance, I could obtain what I did not dare to hope anymore (a business visa for unlimited entries to the United States). Now I feel that having overcome these difficulties will be an additional motivating factor in everything I do. All this would not have been possible without the professionalism, availability, and efforts that you systematically showed in every aspect of my representation. Thank you.

I got the stamp in my passport and our home address was changed by the officer (who was a very nice lady). Thank you for all your pointers regarding the interview. They were extremely helpful. I will contact you when I receive the card in mail in the next to weeks or so. Thank you so much for all your help throughout this process!

  • Thank you!!! I can’t find words to say thanks enough for all the help and support we got from Joe Scagliarini. Last year our world ended when my sister’s green card was denied. I called Mr. Scagliarini and asked for advice. I was asking for a miracle and he made it happen!!! He wrote a (petition for a) waiver which was granted in Vienna and my sister and my nieces are coming to the U.S.A. in two weeks. Words hardly seem enough to express our thanks for all his help. I met a lot of lawyers looking for advice and help, but nobody was so professional and caring like Joe and his staff (special thanks to Rosanna!). He always answered my calls, even from Italy where he was on vacation. He never left me with unanswered questions. Thank you for everything, for reuniting my family. Thank you again. You are the best lawyer anybody could ever ask for! Sincerely,

    - Anna Piechowska, N.J. Wieslawa Plotka, Danuta, Antoni, Karolina and Patryoja Pelinko , Poland

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, Have a great day! This is to inform you that I already have my visa approved. I want to congratulate you & your office for a job well done! I'll be preparing again for the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar that I have to undergo hopefully this month in Manila. I'll keep you posted. Thank you & May God bless you all! Respectfully yours,

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, Dario sends his thanks for your time today. When we spoke first on Friday, I described it to Dario as a little hole of light surrounded by darkness that opened - where we need to focus our energy to make bigger. Dario described it as finding the X and now it is up to us to start digging. I feel comfortable that Dario was able to speak with you in Italian so that he understands his options completely. This case will take time but I will let you know if and when we arrive in full light.

    - M.D., New Jersey, USA

  • I really want to say thank you to Mr. Scagliarini for helping me to get my H-1 B Visa. His precious and careful support was priceless. I am happy to have trusted him for something so important for my life and so difficult to get.

    - Alberto Achilli, Piacenza, Italy

  • Dear Joe, Words hardly seem enough to express our heartfelt thanks for all your help and support up through and through our interview. Your knowledge of immigration law and procedure, along with your attention to detail and calming competence made filing the (immigrant petition) a positive experience. You always made very clear and easy to understand what you needed from us, for when, and most importantly why. You answered every question we had in a timely manner with patience and compassion. Never once did we feel overlooked or as if our case did not matter. Joe, as you said after our interview - between all our smiles, tears of joy and hugs, "now you two really get to begin your lives together and really get to make those dreams you talked about come true." Yes, we do get to make our dreams come true - because of your professional and yet caring services. You will always have our highest regards and recommendations. And I know that we will always have your information at hand for others we may come across that asks us "who should we turn to?" With our sincere thanks and appreciation,

  • Good Morning Attorney Scagliarini, I am writing to inform you that the immigrant visa interview went well as well as the medical examination. The Doctor raised some issues with (my brother's) health, but in the end he was able to assist us. We all received immigrant visas, to be used within six months of approval. Within this period we will have to enter the U.S. and surrender the sealed envelopes that were issued to us by the U.S. Embassy in Naples. Everything looks OK and we should received the actual green cards shortly after our entry... I wanted to thank you for assisting us in this process and for believing in us and seeing this difficult case to a successful outcome. I hope one day to be able to thank you in person. Kind regards,

    - Elisabetta Micco, Villa Verrucchio, Rimini, Italy

  • Dear Giuseppe, Thank you for the outstanding work performed by you and your staff on our behalf. I truly appreciate the attention doted on my wife Yesenia. I was honestly expecting a denial of her waiver petition since the U.S. Embassy in Rome had been sitting on the application without any action for a prolonged period of time. After waiting for an answer for approximately nine months, we decided to contact an attorney expert in U.S. Immigration law. In my opinion, Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini has been extremely professional and kind in all his dealings with us, in one month he obtained the approval of my wife’s waiver and we just received notice of approval of her visa from the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Emanuele and Yesenia extend heartfelt thanks to Attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini.

  • Dear Joe, When Mario and I first started the immigration process after we were married we didn’t realize how long, frustrating, and expensive it was going to be. After a long first year with a bad lawyer and no progress, Mario and I were about to throw in the towel. It wasn’t until we met you that we saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to a mutual friend, we were introduced to you and our hope that seemed lost was reborn again. Even from the first time we met, you genuinely seemed concerned about our situation and wanted to help us. You were honest and direct yet always optimistic. You always had time for us whether it via e-mail, by phone, or in person and you honestly made us feel that we were your only clients. We also greatly appreciated the fact that you took into account our financial situation and set us up with a payment plan. Even though the process took longer than any of us anticipated the outcome was what we all hoped for and my husband is now home with his family, this time as a legal resident. Thank you so much Joe and your lovely wife Rita for all your hard work and positive thinking to help reunite my family and to give Mario the opportunity to live the American Dream. Without you it would never have happened. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

    - Kerri, Mario, and Neil, Newport, RI, U.S.A.

  • Hi Joe, I really appreciated all your attention and dedication on my case. It was pleasant working with you, I wish you the best in future cases. About the medicals, the immigration officer showed me the day of the interview some information that my doctor missed, so I told him that I could get it right away ( to avoid another appointment) , so I did, I ran to my doctor's office right after my interview, I got what I need it from her, and then I went back to the immigration office and gave it to officer personally, and he said, this it, you'll be getting your green card in a month, and guess what ,,,,, I got it 5 days after that, I was really surprised and very happy, very happy. Thank You Joe, Great Job!!!

    - M.S., Pittsburgh PA

  • Dear Giuseppe, Thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping us acquire our E2 visas for our Chefs Gianluca and Michele. Under our particular circumstances, it was by no means an easy feat. I am sure it was one of the more difficult and impossible E2 visas to obtain, but we succeeded. Your loyalty, your commitment to the case, your everlasting patience, determination and knowledge made us stay the road... We have had a successful summer with Gianluca and Michele, and many thanks to you for that. You always have a table at Pasta Beach. Next time we need a visa, I know it will be a lot easier. With our warmest regards,

My life has changed so much now that I have peace of mind about my financial situation; getting my job was the beginning of my life here in the United States and I know I can count on you whenever I need you, either for advice or for other professional services. I also wanted to let you know that I got my driver's license and I'll be buying a car shortly, I feel like in my own country. Thank You again and keep working hard for us, the foreigners.

I will forever remember your initial reluctance to undertake our representation (given the uncertain outcome of the case), but then believing that a positive outcome was possible we all decided to work together, and the approval of my nonimmigrant waiver followed. I wish to renew my sincerest thank you.

    - F. M., Italy

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I wanted to let you know that everything went well upon our entry into the U.S.. At the airport, it was sufficient to show (CBP) my visa paperwork and nothing else. Thank you for your careful assistance, for your availability throughout this past year, and for your precious legal advice, which in this country is truly invaluable (especially when one travels with all the family). I want to thank also your assistant Rosanna who has also shown at all times kindness and professionalism when dealing with me when you were not available. I highly recommend that anyone who is considering filing for U.S. immigration benefits contact you first, in order to avoid all sorts of unpleasant surprises.

Immediate Relatives

BACK TO DIRECTORYNEXT TOPIC

U.S. IMMIGRATION SERVICES EXPLAINED :

Visas for Immediate Relatives

(U.S. Visas for Parents, Spouses & Fiancées of U.S. Citizens)

ITALIAN

FAMILY BASED IMMIGRATION – It is not a secret that U.S. Immigration policy strongly favors granting permanent resident status (“Green Card”) to close relatives of U.S. Citizens. One of the most common ways for an alien  to immigrate in the U.S. is as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen. Spouses and unmarried children of U.S. Citizens and in some cases of U.S. Permanent Residents (Green Card Holders) have a preferred route to immigrating in the U.S. This most commonly takes the form of a U.S. citizen petitioning for his or her spouse (i.e. immigration “through marriage”) or minor children on what is known as form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.

 

“Immediate Relatives” is therefore a term of art and Immediate Relative in the Immigration context have several advantages over other categories of would-be immigrants: if they are in the United States AND THEY ENTERED WITH PROPER DOCUMENTS they can file for “Adjustment of Status” without traveling back to their home country.  The Adjustment of status application can normally be filed concurrently with the immigrant petition on their behalf, thereby substantially reducing the wait time for visa issuance. In most cases, the alien spouse can obtain employment authorization pending adjudication of the petition. Prior periods of unlawful presence or unauthorized employment, which normally constitute grounds for inadmissibility, may normally be overcome.

Even in cases where Adjustment of Status is not possible, regulations are now in place to allow, in most cases, for Stateside Provisional Waivers request before the alien travels back home to obtain his or her green card at the local consulate. Please consult an expert Immigration Lawyer / Visa Lawyer if you think that this category may apply to you.

In some cases, especially where the spouse entered the U.S. on a nonimmigrant visa (for example on a B-2 visa or F-1 visa or J-1 visa) or on a Visa Waiver / ESTA entry, particular attention must be given to the amount of time lapsed from the entry and the Application for Adjustment of Status, as well as the statements rendered upon entry at the port of entry upon inspection and admission. The issue is one of “preconceived intent” a.k.a. whether or not the applicant could be found to have harbored a preconceived intent to immigrate to the U.S. and therefore rendered false or misleading statements. As usual, we strongly advise to consult with a skilled immigration attorney on this or any other issue discussed on this web site before you make any immigration or visa decisions.

K-1FIANCEE’ VISA (K-1 VISA) AND K-3 VISA FOR SPOUSES OF US CITIZENS

If the alien fiancee’  is abroad, and the couple have met in person in the past two years, it may e possible to have the non-citizen fiancee’  travel to the United States on a K-1 visa for fiancee’s of U.S. citizens.

 

If the marriage has already taken place or is going to take place abroad,  a choice must be made between filing an immigrant visa petition for the alien spouse and requesting consular processing in the spouse’s home country, or applying for a K-3 visa to allow for immediate entry into the U.S. and then filing the immediate relative petition and requesting adjustment of the alien’s status to permanent resident of the U.S.

 

Sometimes, these options can be pursued at the same time.  In most cases, it will be necessary for the U.S. citizen to file an affidavit of support and to produce financial records. Please see our page on affidavit of support issues.

?WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU :

If you are married to or intend to marry a U.S. citizen and immigrate to the U.S., or if you are a U.S. citizen with an foreign resident spouse or fiancee’, there are excellent chances that we can assist you.

 

If you are currently in the U.S., and ENTERED THROUGH INSPECTION you should be able to adjust your status to that of a legal permanent resident without traveling back to your home country.    If you entered the U.S. without inspection, a waiver of this ground of inadmissibility may be available to you. Please see our page on waivers.

 

As immigration lawyers, we frequently deal with very difficult, sometimes heart-wrenching situations that could have been easily avoided with a moderate amount of initial planning and professional assistance. Do not be one of those clients who comes to us after the problem arise. Do it right the first time and you will receive much more than you will be paying for in terms of our legal fees. You will never know what you missed and you may even think that the immigration process is easy, but you will never regret not knowing how difficult it can be if it is not done right.

  • Giuseppe has been amazing, during the past 7 years, I have received three O-1 Visas and 1 EB-2 NIW approval, with his help and professional support. I will always recommend him to everybody who needs an immigration lawyer. He is precise, detailed, extremely meticulous and he gets things done. He was really precious and I am grateful I found him.

  • I want to express my deep respect to attorney Giuseppe Scagliarini. My family and I hired Giuseppe to assist us in obtaining a Green Card. The case was extremely complex, under many profiles. Giuseppe lead us in this battle, through documents, offices, pandemic, translations, audits, and much more. I appreciated his wisdom, his acume in finding solutions time by time. And his kindness too. In the end, we managed to get the Green card for me, my wife and my two kids. Giuseppe, you are a terrific attorney, and we’ll always be grateful to you.

    - F.S., Rome, Italy

  • Caro Giuseppe, Ce l’ho fatta! Ce l’abbiamo fatta! Perché senza di te tutto questo percorso sarebbe stato infinitamente più duro e perché tutto è partito con te e ti devo un’ enorme riconoscenza! Ho sudato freddo ma l’intervista è andata bene! E mercoledì ho la cerimonia di giuramento. Non mi sembra vero… Sette anni da quando ho deciso di intraprendere questo percorso… Dal profondo del cuore davvero grazie, del sostegno, del tuo aiuto e della tua umanità! E ci sarà ancora modo di sentirci e spero non soltanto per lavoro. Intanto GRAZIE e un abbraccio strabordante di felicità dalla West Coast

  • Carissimo Giuseppe, Oggi ho ricevuto da te la splendida notizia dell'approvazione della nostra petizione per l'ottenimento della green card Eb1(a) "Alien with extraodinary Ability" Io, e la mia famiglia siamo stati molto fortunati ad aver incontrato (su Internet) un professionista così attento, valido e qualificato come tu ti sei rivelato durante l'assistenza che ci hai fornito. Sei sempre stato onesto sulle prospettive e le probabilità di riuscita dell'impresa e non ci hai mai illuso, non solo ma hai anche saputo spronarci ad assumere l'attegiamento psicologico giusto nell'affrontare la cosa. Hai saputo a nostro avviso selezionare e sintetizzare al meglio tutta la documentazione che ti abbiamo inviato e l'hai presentata ed esposta con maestria e dovizia di particolari. Ogni argomentazione è stata poi da te evidenziata con riferimenti giuridici inerenti e precisi così da poter limitare le possibilità di replica negativa da parte dell'esaminatore della pratica. Insomma MEGLIO NON POTEVAMO CAPITARE!!! Presto Io e la mia famiglia ci trasferiremo negli USA e siamo certi che con questa tua performance da professionista serio e da amico (ormai possiamo dire di essere diventati anche amici no?) ti sei guadagnato il posto di legale rappresentante in USA della nostra famiglia, in futuro per qualsiasi cosa siamo sicuri che presso il tuo studio troveremo sempre il consiglio e la consulenza migliore possibile.

  • It is my pleasure to share with you my experience working with Giuseppe upon obtaining my Permanent Resident Card. My wife and I met at the university in Boston and decided to get married a few years after. Giuseppe was recommended to us by a family member, and broke down the process of getting a visa, and the importance of providing evidence of faithful marriage. Giuseppe was very effective and sharp in terms of building a strong case and identifying areas of strengths and weaknesses. He always followed up with emails and put us in the best condition to show up at the interview. He was present during the interview and reassured me and my wife throughout the process, telling us to just be ourselves. A few minutes after the interview, my application was approved and I received my green card a week following the interview. Overall, I would highly recommend using Giuseppe's service as he is very knowledgable, precise, professional and yet personable and truly cares about his clients.

    - Baptiste and Stefanie

  • Dear Mr. Scagliarini, I would like to thank you for a job well done. My Green Card Petition has been approved and I am so thrilled. Not only have you offered sound professional advice, but also provided a warm person to person assistance. I particulalrly appreciated how easily I could get in touch with you and how timely your answers were. Your presence at the Interview was an extra bonus...with a Guardian Angel physically beside us what could go wrong? Thank you again and God Bless.

Carta Verde / Green Card

BACK TO DIRECTORYNEXT TOPIC

Avvocato di Immigrazione USA –  Carta Verde / Green Card per Parenti di Cittadini Americani:

Green Card (Residenza Permanente) Per Marito/Moglie, Fidanzati, Figli Minori e Genitori di Cittadini Americani 

ENGLISH

Può’ essere utile e talvolta indispensabile consultare un Avvocato di Immigrazione USA anche se non e’ certamente un segreto che la legge di Immigrazione degli Stati Uniti favorisce fortemente le richieste di Ricongiungimento Familiare a favore di parenti stretti di cittadini Americani (“Immediate Relatives”).

 

CONIUGI (moglie o marito), anche se dello stesso stesso purche’ legittimamente coniugati nello stato dove e’ stato celebrato il matrimonio (la normativa e’ in evoluzione), figli minori, e genitori possono ottenere la Cd. “Carta Verde” o più’ propriamente la residenza permanente negli USA quali parenti stretti di Cittadini Americani (“Immediate Relatives”).

 

La normativa e’ complicata e vi esortiamo a consultare un Avvocato Esperto di Immigrazione USA

K-1Specialmente in caso di matrimonio o fidanzamento, questo apre diverse possibilita’ alla coppia che si voglia stabilire insieme negli Stati Uniti. Ci sono visti a favore di fidanzato/a (K-1 Visa), si puo’ richiedere uno speciale visto a favore di coniuge mentre la domanda di residenza permanente e’ ancora in corso (K-3 Visa), e nel caso di richiesta di permanent residence (“Carta Verde”) si puo’ talvolta scegliere se perseguire la pratica mentre il beneficiario si trova negli Stati Uniti d’America (“Adjustment of Status”) o nel paese di origine (“Consular Processing”).

Per figli minori e’ spesso importante presentare la domanda prima del compimento del 21 anno di eta’.

 

In alcuni casi il beneficiario puo’ anche chiedere permesso di lavoro (“Employment Authorization”) e Permesso di Viaggiare (“Advanced Parole”) mentre aspetta di conoscere l’esito della pratica.

 

In alcuni casi, soprattutto quando il candidato si trova già all’interno degli Stati Uniti, varie diverse scelte possono essere disponibili – si pensi alla possibilità’ di presentare domanda per Adjustment of Status o richiedere che la pratica venga assolta dal Consolato nel paese di  origine. O si pensi alla possibilità’ di richiedere visti K-1 per fidanzato/fidanzata o K-3 per moglie o marito di cittadino USA.

 

Ognuna di queste opzioni ha importanti risvolti umani e legali, soprattutto per la possibile separazione dper lungo tempo alla luce dei lunghi tempi di attesa (12 mesi o piu’ in alcuni casi, e in continuo cambiamento) e la intricata normativa relativa a Adjustment of Status per Visa Waiver Entrants, “Preconceived Intent” del visitatore temporaneo ESTA o con visto B-1/B-2 che poi decidesse di sposarsi e fare domanda di residenza permanente negli USA.

 

In altri casi e’ importante considerare I recenti ritardi del National Visa Center (“NVC”), I possibili effetti di viaggi effettuati durante il corso della pratica, la possibilita’ di richiedere Deroga (“Waiver”) dei 5 anni o 10 anni di interdizione dagli USA che possono derivare da precedenti periodi di soggiorno non autorizzato, e essere a conoscenza della necessita’ di presentare un Affidavit of Support e I relativi requisiti di legge.

 

In molti dei casi in cui veniamo contattati dopo la presentazione della pratica, dobbiamo constatare che una accurata valutazione di questi elementi avrebbe potuto evitare o minimizzare lunghi o dolorosi contrattempi, come la necessita’ di ripresentare la domanda’ la impossibilita’ di proseguire nella stessa o di vederla approvata, o le complicazioni relative alla approvazione in via di principio del modello I-130 ma la inammissibilita’ del beneficiario per ragioni relative a Affidavit of Support, Unlawful Presence, o Precedenti Penali.

 

L”Avvocato Scagliarini ha aiutato innumerevoli famiglie a ottenere la tanto desiderata Carta Verde e a vivere insieme negli USA. Possiamo perciò’ facilitarvi e aiutarvi a ricongiungervi con I vostri cari e a minimizzare I problemi relativi. Vi esortiamo a non procedere con il fai da te a vostre spese, scoprendo poi amaramente di avere compiuto errori che possono pregiudicare l’esito o renderlo molto piu’ difficile.

Perche’ non avvantaggiarvi della esperienza di un avvocato esperto nel processo di ottenimento della Carta Verde per gli USA per rendere il piu’ gradevole possibile un processo che altrimenti puo’ essere frustrante, lungo e faticoso.

U.S. Visas in General

BACK TO DIRECTORYNEXT TOPIC

SCAGLIARINILAW  /  US IMMIGRATION LAWYER – US VISA LAWYER

U.S. Visas in General → Overview

ITALIAN

Do you need an immigration lawyer for assistance with your U.S. visa application or petition? As anyone who has been through the process can attest, the assistance of an immigration lawyer to help with your visa or permanent residence can be very valuable. The difficulties are many and many employers are reluctant to employ due to the complexity of compliance.

There are literally dozens of different us visa categories to enter the United States. They can be broadly divided in two types of visas: immigrant and nonimmigrant visas.  Immigrant visas are visas destined to people who will permanently live and work in the United States, and have secured the necessary permits. This normally requires a US Petitioner (be it a family member or a prospective employer) to file an immigrant visa petition on behalf of the alien beneficiary.

 

Once the immigrant visa petition is approved, if a visa number is immediately available the beneficiary can either proceed to request consular processing of his or her application for permanent residence (“green card”) or adjustment of his or her immigration status from within the United States. It is important to determine at the outset whether the applicant currently present in the United States is eligible for adjustment  of status once a US visa becomes available to him.

 

The issues are too numerous and too important to be enumerated here, suffice it to say that we highly recommend consulting a skilled US immigration attorney early on before the whole process is commenced.  For most applicants however, it will be necessary or desirable to obtain another category of US visa. These are called nonimmigant visas because they are to be used for visits of temporary nature.  Some of these visas are for work, some other for leisure or business activities, but by and large an inquiry will be made as to the nature of the proposed visit, the temporariness of the same, and for many US visas, whether or not the applicant has sufficient ties to his or her home country to justify an assumption that he or she is likely to return home at the end of the authorized stay.  A few US visas (such as H1-B, L-1, and others), allow the holder to enter the US in nonimmigrant status while at the same time legally pursue permanent residence in the US. This is the so called doctrine of dual intent, and is not applicable to all visa categories. Some visas in fact are expressly precluded by law or regulations to applicants who have manifested an intent to immigrate in the United States, even if such intent is merely prospective and in accordance to the lawful process to obtain an immigrant visa (“green card”).  It is therefore paramount to structure the whole immigration strategy in a cohesive manner, so that steps undertaken early on do not jeopardize the visa applicant’s ultimate goals, whatever they may be.

 

Some popular visa categories carry work-authorization incident to their status: H1-B visas are very much sought after so much so that in recent years this visa type has been oversubscribed and subject to a much controversial process of selecting the applicants among the thousand who had filed.

U.S. IMMIGRATION SERVICES EXPLAINED :

U.S. Visas → Categories

  • L-1 Visas are very desirable visas for workers of multinational companies, including Executives, Managers (L-1A Visa) and Specialized Knowledge Workers (L-1B Visa) who may be transferred to a U.S. branch, subsidiary or affiliated company after only 12 months of employment abroad. READ MORE
  • B-1 Visas are reserved for visitors for business and do not grant authorization to perform salaried work in the United States. They are to be used for temporary visits of short duration and only to conduct business activity not remunerated in the United States.
  • K-1 Visas are for fiancee’s of US citizens who wish to enter the United States with intent to marry within 90 days of entry.
  • K-3 Visas are for spouses of US citizens who are abroad and are beneficiary of a pending petition for immediate relative. This type of visa is supposed to allow a quick entry into the United States pending the outcome of the permanent resident petition.
  • E-2 Visas are for international investors. The amount of capital invested or in the process of being invested must be “substantial” no exact figures are specified as to what constitutes a substantial investment in the E-2 visa context. READ MORE
  • E-1 Visas are reserved for international traders. There must be a substantial amount of trade between the United States and a treaty country before the visa can be issued.

  • B-2 Visas are for temporary visits to the United States for pleasure. There is a strong presumption against the alien who has the burden of proving that he or she does not harbor any immigrant intent and will not circumvent the terms of admission.
  • J-1 Visas make up a multi-pronged visa category ranging from interns, au pairs, international scholars and researchers, to Medical Doctors. Importantly, some J-1 visas are issued subject to a two-year home residency requirement at the end of the J status. The applicant will therefore be forced to go back to his or her home country unless a waiver can be secured.
  • F-1 Visas and M-1 Visas are for students. The applicant must be enrolled and receive documentation from the school to present to the Consulate at the time of visa issuance.
  • O-1 Visas are nonimmigrant visas reserved for aliens of extraordinary ability in the field of arts, science, or entertainment.
  • EB-1 Visas can be obtained for Aliens of Extraordinary Ability, Multinational Managers, and other very skilled workers.  READ MORE
  • A National Interest Waiver (NIW) can be sought when it is in the national interest of the United States to wave the requirement of Labor Certification, a very time consuming and expensive process normally necessary to seek Employment-Based Permanent Residence. A NIW beneficiary can self-petition thereby not requiring an offer of employment.

Purtroppo, la legislazione e i regolamenti attuativi relativi al Visto per gli USA sono molto più’ complicati e le informazioni pubblicamente disponibili non sono organizzate in maniera completamente chiara ed esplicativa e non necessariamente risultano utili a ottenere l’emissione dell’agognato visto per gli gli USA. In particolare, per i visti di visita temporanea (Visto B-1 e Visto B-2), di lavoro (Visto H1-B, Visto L-1, Visto E-1, Visto E-2) e per le procedure di waiver di criteri di ineliggibilita’ all’ingresso negli Stati Uniti (“waiver”), il sito offre solo indicazioni di massima e lascia molte domande irrisolte, soprattutto per chi desideri corredare la propria domanda di visto per gli USA con una esausitva documentazione.

 

Questo e’ in qualche modo aggravato dal fatto che nella maggioranza dei casi, fino a prova contraria il candidato che faccia domanda di un visto per gli USA viene considerato come volere immigrare permanentemente negli USA in violazione della legge di immigrazione e relativi regolamenti attuativi.

 

L’onere della prova e’ percio’ a carico del candidato che presenti la domanda di visto presso il Consolato USA di convincere l’ufficiale che esamina la pratica di non volere immigrare negli Stati Uniti. Comprendere questo concetto e’ basilare per aumentare le probabilita’ di rilascio del visto per l’ingresso negli USA. Se tale onere non e’ superato (se la documentazione di supporto non e’ sufficiente) e’ molto frequente un rigetto della domanda di visto con la motivazione che il candidato non ha comprovato i “forti legami con il paese di origine” (“strong ties with the home country”) richiesti dalla legge di immigrazione deglli Stati Uniti (Immigration and Nationality Act o “INA”).

 

In aggiunta a quanto sopra, recentemente numerose iniziative sono state intraprese per “scremare” gli individui che possono recarsi neglI Statu Uniti senza visto. Per esempio, recentemente e’ stato implementato il programma di pre-autorizzazione elettronica ESTA. Inoltre, a partire dal primo Giugno e’ entrato in vigore presso i consolati Italiani l’obbligo di compilare il nuovo modulo elettronico DS-160 prima di fissare l’intervista consolare necessaria per il rilascio di visto per gli Stati Uniti per la maggior parte delle categorie temporanee (“nonimmigrant visas”). In tutti i casi di richiesta di visto  USA (eccetto entrate in USA ai sensi del programma “visa waiver”), il candidato deve recarsi personalmente in Consolato per una intervista per ottenere il rilascio del visto.

 

Particolarmente in casi in cui l’esito sia importante (visto E-1 o E-2 per imprenditori – visto L-1 per trasferimento di dirigenti e manager – visto EB-1 per  persone di abilita’ straordinaria) consigliamo vivamente a tutti di consultare un avvocato di immigrazione USA ed esperto in materia di visto per gli USA prima di procedere.

Precendenti violazioni anche minori del diritto di immigrazione USA possono pregiudicare il rilascio del visto, e necessitare di procedura di “waiver of inadmissibility” e comunque far decadere dal diritto di usare il programma “visa waiver” di esenzione dal visto per visite di piacere o di affari fino a tre mesi di durata.

Cosi’ pure precedenti condanne penali, anche di minore entita’, come possesso di modiche quantita’ di sostanze stupefacenti, reati di “moral turpitude” (la cui definizione resta alquanto ambigua”, arresti anche se non seguiti da sentenze di condanna, precedenti dichiarazioni fraudolente per ottenere un visto, tutte queste eventualita’ possono portare al diniego della richiesta di visto per gli USA.

IN OGNI CASO E’ IMPORTANTISSIMO – che le dichiarazioni rilasciate sia in Consolato che all’ingresso in USA con o senza visto siano conformi a verita’. Nella maggioranza dei casi, gli ufficiali consolari hanno solo pochi minuti a disposizione per raggiungere una decisione e in caso di dubbio sulla veridicita’ delle dichiarazioni rilasciate sono istruiti a negare il visto di ingresso negli USA.

 

E’ quindi cruciale, anche per richieste di visto che potrebbero considerarsi di routine, che il candidato sia accuratamente preparato e informato delle proprie opzioni. Questo non e’ sempre facile o di immediata reperibilita’. Che fare dunque in questi casi?  Il nostro Studio Legale cerca di offrire una soluzione efficace a questo tipo di problemi.  Molte persone ci contattato senza richiedere una formale consultazione, con domande generali tipo: “Il sogno della mia vita e’ andare a lavorare in America, come faccio ad avere il visto per gli USA” oppure “Sono un ragazzo di 18 anni e vorrei sapere come fare ad avere un visto di lavoro per gli USA”.

 

Ovviamente, non ci e’ possibile rispondere per email a domande cosi’ vaghe, e con cosi’ tante ramificazioni, che ci esporrebbero oltretutto a difficolta’ nel rispondere esaurientemente, nonche’ al rischio di essere fraintesi e percio’ a peggiorare la situazione dell’interessato. Molte di queste persone non sono minimamente interessate ad intraprendere una relazione professionale con il nostro sutdio legale e a consultare un avvocato esperto di  diritto di immigrazione USA, ma sono semplicemente a caccia di informazioni gratuite.  Dato il volume e il tenore di queste richieste, non siamo percio’ in grado di fornire risposte individuali a questo tipo di domande.  Come servizio gratuito, per chi sia semplicemente alla ricerca di informazioni sulle procedure per il rilascio di un visto per gli USA, forniamo in questa e varie altre pagine del nostro sito links a fonti esterni di informazioni (DEL CUI CONTENUTO NON CI ASSUMIAMO NESSUNA RESPONSABILITA’).
