    How Do You Use Letters of Recommendation in O-1 Visa and EB-1 Greencard Cases?
    why do you need to use letters of recommendation in your O-1 visa or EB-1 greencard case? USCIS has to consider any evidence we submit in paper format. There are no live hearings like there would be if a case was in front of a judge or jury. And how are we supposed to convince an immigration officer, who probably doesn't know much about a given field. We can use letters of recommendation from experts in the field to highlight a person's accomplishments and add a lot of detail and color to an immigration case that might otherwise not be that exciting to read. Here we also talk about Matter of Skirball, an Administrative Appeals Office case from 2012 that held that uncontroverted expert opinion testimony must be fairly considered by USCIS.

    Why You Shouldn't Use Marijuana if You Want a Visa or Greencard
    while thinking about marijuana has come a long way in the past few decades it remains federally criminalized in the United States. That means people wanting to enter the U.S. on visas or green cards, or who don't want to get deported need to think about their choices. There is a narrow waiver under INA 212 (H) for very small amounts of marijuana but its not a process you should want to go through. Until marijuana is federally decriminalized, or a person becomes a U.S. citizen the better choice is to avoid marijuana. New episodes all the time - please subscribe!

    How Can I Expedite My Case With Immigration?
    why is your case stuck at Immigration? How can it be taking so long? USCIS has a few methods to expedite a case that's been filed. Check out USCIS' official webpage: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-gu... Here's what they say: "You may ask USCIS to expedite adjudication of a benefit request (such as an application or petition) for an immigration benefit. USCIS: Considers all expedite requests on a case-by-case basis; May require additional documentation to support a request; and Has the sole discretion to decide whether to accommodate a request. The grounds to expedite are vague, but they are: Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to: Timely file the benefit request, or Timely respond to any requests for additional evidence; Emergencies and urgent humanitarian reasons; Nonprofit organization (as designated by the Internal Revenue Service) whose request is in furtherance of the cultural or social interests of the United States; U.S. government interests (such cases identified as urgent by federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, Equal Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or other public safety or national security interests); or Clear USCIS error.
