How long will my immigration case in Atlanta take?

Once your application has been submitted, we will have a better idea of how long the process may take.

Can my spouse or children work under my E2 visa?

Your spouse is able to work under your E2 visa when you arrive in the US. Your spouse will need to apply for a work authorization when they arrive. Your children are NOT allowed to work and are NOT authorized to work under your E2 visa.

My children are approved under my E2 visa, but they turn 21 soon. Do they have to leave the US?

This can be tricky and it is best to speak with one of our immigration lawyers in Atlanta. Once your children reach the age of 21, they are not allowed to be in the US anymore. What this means is that they must apply for a visa for themselves or they must leave the US.

For example, if your child turns 21 and is in college, he or she can apply for a student visa. The child must qualify to remain here in the US and our team is able to help you determine what the best course is for your child.

I am coming to the US on a K-1 visa. Can my children come too?

A K-1 visa is established for the primary immigrant and K-2 visas will be issued to any children. You will need to identify all children who need a K-2 visa in your application, so that they can be issued. Any children who receive a K-2 visa and are in the US will need to apply for a new visa BEFORE they turn 21. Our immigration attorney in Atlanta can help with this process.

Why am I ineligible for a K-1 visa?

There are many reasons why you may have been told that you are ineligible for a K-1 visa. If you did receive a letter stating this, it does not mean that you can never enter the US. It is important that you speak with an immigration lawyer in Atlanta immediately.
