SB-1 Visas Attorney In New York, NY
Lost Your Permanent Resident Status And Want To Return To The US?
If you've lost your permanent resident status by staying away from the US too long, don’t despair. US law allows you to apply for returning resident status with an SB-1 visa. When you stay outside the US borders for over two years with a re-entry permit or more than a year without a re-entry permit, you lose your residency status. Whether you stayed in your country of origin to care for an aging relative or your work kept you out of the US too long, an SB-1 visa can be your ticket to return. However, you must provide extensive evidence of your intent to return to the United States and stay there permanently. Our experienced immigration attorneys can help you gather and present the types of evidence most likely to convince the USCIS to grant you an SB-1 visa.

What Kind of Evidence Do I Need for an SB-1 Visa?
To approve you for an SB-1 visa, USCIS officials look for evidence that you have maintained continuous, unbroken ties with the US. Just because you intend to return, have family members in the US, or attend school in another country isn’t enough. You need to show that your time away from the United States was beyond your control, that you’ve complied with US tax law while you were overseas, and that you’ve maintained ownership of property, licenses, or other tangible assets in the US. Our legal team can help you sort through your paperwork to see if it’s sufficient to prove your case. Don’t wait, though. The longer you stay away from the US, the more unlikely the USCIS will approve your petition. Start your SB-1 petition process today.
What Can I Do If the USCIS Doesn’t Approve My SB-1 Application?
If the consular officer who reviews your SB-1 visa application and its supporting evidence rules that you have abandoned your US residence, there’s still hope. Our immigration attorneys can help you explore other options for returning to the United States. Those options might include applying for a non-immigrant visa or the immigrant visa that qualified you for your initial permanent resident petition. Our immigration lawyers can help you find your best option for re-entry into the US. To learn about your options, contact our immigration law office today.
