      Você chegou ao final da sua jornada para se tornar um cidadão americano - você teve seu green card pelo tempo necessário, e completou e enviou com sucesso seu formulário N-400 para finalmente se candidatar a se tornar um cidadão americano. Você acabou de receber o aviso de entrevista do N-400 pelo correio, mas o que acontece nessa entrevista?

A entrevista do N-400 consiste em duas partes separadas: um teste e uma entrevista propriamente dita. Abaixo, vamos detalhar cada parte:
  • Parte I - Teste de Naturalização
     A primeira parte da sua entrevista do N-400 consistirá em um teste. O teste é composto por dois componentes: inglês e cívica. Durante a parte de inglês do teste, você deve demonstrar que entende o idioma inglês e que tem a capacidade de ler, escrever e falar inglês básico. O oficial vai pedir que você leia corretamente uma frase em voz alta e também vai pedir que você escreva corretamente uma frase.

     Durante o teste cívico, você vai responder a perguntas importantes sobre o governo e a história americana. Há uma lista de 100 possíveis perguntas que o oficial pode fazer a você. No entanto, o oficial só fará 10 perguntas durante sua entrevista, e você só precisa responder corretamente a 6 dessas perguntas para passar.
  • Parte II - Entrevista de Naturalização
     Depois de passar no seu Teste de Naturalização, o oficial vai informar que você passou no teste e vai passar para a entrevista de Naturalização. Durante esta entrevista, o oficial vai revisar seu pedido de N-400 com você. O oficial vai verificar se todas as informações listadas no formulário estão corretas e vai corrigir quaisquer erros ou atualizações no formulário. O oficial também vai revisar seu histórico de viagens durante os últimos 5 anos. É importante que você saiba sua data de saída dos EUA, sua data de retorno aos EUA, qual país você visitou e qual foi o propósito da sua visita. Por fim, você vai revisar as questões de segurança e as questões constitucionais no formulário juntos com o oficial.

O que acontece depois que eu passo no teste e completo a entrevista?

     Dependendo do escritório em que sua entrevista está agendada, você pode se tornar um cidadão americano no mesmo dia! Alguns escritórios oferecem cerimônias de naturalização no dia em que você completa com sucesso sua entrevista, mas você terá que perguntar ao oficial se esse serviço está disponível. Se não estiver, não se preocupe - você será agendado para retornar para uma cerimônia de naturalização. Na cerimônia de naturalização, você fará um juramento de fidelidade e receberá seu certificado oficial de naturalização. É muito importante manter seu green card até que seu certificado de naturalização seja emitido. Na cerimônia de naturalização, um oficial explicará o processo para obter um número de segurança social e um passaporte.

E se eu não passar no teste cívico?

     Se você não passar no teste cívico na primeira tentativa, a imigração (USCIS) remarcará seu horário e você voltará em outro dia para refazer o teste. É muito importante estudar, pois você só tem 2 tentativas para fazer o teste de inglês e cívico. Você pode encontrar as 100 possíveis perguntas que o oficial pode fazer a você neste link:

The Military Selective Service Act requires all men living in the United States to register with the Selective Service System within 30 days of turning 18 years old and up to 26 years of age. The Selective Service System (SSS) is used by the U.S. government to draft soldiers into service during times of war. There are a few exceptions to the registration requirement: First, if you hold non-immigrant status until the age of 26, you do not have to register with the SSS. Second, if you enter the U.S. after the age of 26, you do not have to register with the SSS, as the age requirement to register is between 18 and 26. Third, men born after March 29, 1957, and before December 31, 1959, are not required to register. To verify online go to: https://www.sss.gov/verify/ . The information you will need to provide is your last name, social security number, and date of birth. If you find your registration record, download, and print an official Selective Service Registration Acknowledgement Letter from the website and include it with your application. This is sufficient to show that you registered. If you can’t verify your registration because you don’t have a social security number or you didn’t have one when you registered, or you prefer to call, you need to call the SSS at: (888) 655-1825 . Note, failure to register will not automatically lead to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denying your naturalization application. In fact, even if you did not register and you were required to do so, the USCIS cannot deny your application if you show that you did not know you were required to register, or the failure to register wasn’t intentional. If you have any questions, please schedule a consultation with one of our experienced attorneys and we will be more than happy to assist you.

In December 2022, the Department of Homeland Security published a notice announcing that USCIS would conduct a trial to update the current naturalization test which consists of four elements: reading, writing, civics, and ability to speak English. The Reading and Writing portions have been standardized, but the purpose of the trial is to test the civics component with an updated format and content as well as develop a new English-speaking component that could be the new standard.

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program has long stood as a beacon of opportunity for those seeking to establish roots in the United States. However, in recent years, its allure dimmed due to concerns surrounding integrity, program abuse, and uncertainties regarding its future. Yet, with the passage of the EB-5 Reform & Integrity Act of 2022 , the EB-5 program finds itself on the brink of a renaissance, once again capturing the attention of investors worldwide. For those unfamiliar, t he EB-5 program offers foreign investors and their families a pathway to permanent residency in the United States by investing a minimum amount in a qualifying U.S. business venture . This investment must create or preserve a certain number of jobs for American workers. Historically, the program has been popular among affluent individuals seeking not only residency but also the opportunity to contribute to the U.S. economy. However, in recent years, the program faced criticism and scrutiny due to allegations of fraud, abuse, and inefficiencies. Investors became wary, and the program's popularity waned. Prospective applicants were hesitant to commit significant funds to a program plagued by uncertainties and bureaucratic hurdles. Enter the 2022 EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act . This landmark legislation addresses many of the concerns that have plagued the program in recent years. Among its key provisions are increased investment thresholds, stricter oversight measures, and reforms aimed at promoting integrity and transparency within the program. One of the most significant changes introduced by the reform act is empowering the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to more effectively monitor and investigate potential instances of fraud or abuse. Additionally, the act introduces measures to streamline the application process, reducing bureaucratic red tape and expediting the adjudication of EB-5 petitions, resulting in faster processing for legitimate investments. The passage of the 2022 EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act has injected new life into the EB-5 program, reigniting interest among investors and immigration stakeholders alike. With its enhanced integrity measures and streamlined processes, the program once again represents a compelling opportunity for those seeking to pursue the American dream. Already, we are witnessing a resurgence of interest in the EB-5 program from investors worldwide. Developers and regional centers are seizing the opportunity to capitalize on the renewed enthusiasm, presenting a diverse array of investment opportunities across various industries and regions. Moreover, the EB-5 program's revitalization holds significant implications for the U.S. economy. By attracting foreign investment, the program has the potential to create jobs, spur economic growth, and facilitate the development of communities in need. Furthermore, it underscores the United States' commitment to welcoming and harnessing the talents and resources of immigrant investors. The passage of the 2022 EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act marks a pivotal moment in the history of the EB-5 program. By addressing longstanding concerns and implementing comprehensive reforms, the act has restored confidence in the program and positioned it for a prosperous future. As investors and developers alike embrace the opportunities presented by the revitalized EB-5 program, we anticipate a resurgence in interest and activity, reaffirming the program's status as a cornerstone of American immigration policy and economic development. I encourage any prospective investors to meet with one of our skilled attorneys to discuss the possibility of securing permanent residency, and eventually citizenship, through a qualifying investment under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program. We look forward to working with you!

The latest policy alert, PA-2024-05, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on March 21, 2024, brings revisions to the USCIS Policy Manual, specifically focusing on expediting requests. These updates aim to simplify and elucidate the process for applicants, particularly those facing emergencies or urgent humanitarian needs. The primary goal is to make it easier for applicants to understand how to request expedited processing for their various submissions, including applications, petitions, appeals, or motions, especially in cases concerning government interests or urgent situations. While USCIS has historically permitted immigration benefit seekers to request expedited application processing in specific circumstances, the process has frequently been perceived as unclear, with decisions made arbitrarily on a case-by-case basis. The recent update seeks to rectify this by providing clarity and uniformity to the process and establishing explicit criteria and documentation standards. In order to request expedited processing, applicants need to adhere to a more defined procedure. This involves submitting thorough documentation and illustrating the urgency or government relevance of their case. The recent update also explains how USCIS reviews these requests, offering applicants a better grasp of the process. The update introduces special measures for speeding up the processing of Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) in emergency situations. This acknowledges the urgent need for certain applicants to travel. The policy also acknowledges that expedited requests may be evaluated if there is evident USCIS error, aiming to uphold fairness and accountability within the processing system. These changes aim to make the expedited request process more transparent and understandable for applicants and their representatives. In summary, USCIS's revision regarding expedited requests signifies a notable advancement in rendering the immigration process more transparent and attentive to applicants' requirements. By comprehending these updated guidelines, applicants and their representatives can more effectively navigate the expedited request procedure, ensuring that urgent cases receive due consideration. If you believe you qualify for expedited processing under the recent USCIS policy updates, feel free to contact our office, and we will be more than happy to assist you.
