With the midterm elections just around the corner, many groups and individuals are out there to encourage citizens to vote, and registering those who are not already registered. You can find these individuals outside supermarkets, shopping malls, your public library, and many other public places. Their attempts to encourage participation in our democratic process should be commended, however, there is a significant (and even dangerous) drawback for non-citizens.
Voting is a right reserved only for U.S. citizens. It is illegal for a non-citizen to vote in a state or federal election or primary. Even identifying yourself as a citizen when you are not one, disqualifies you from renewal of a green card or naturalization. In fact, it is disqualifying for all other immigration benefits and will make you subject to deportation. Following are several instances when people sometimes make the mistake of identifying as a citizen before they actually have achieved that status. There are many more instances when accidentally identifying as a citizen can happen, but these are the most common: Click "Read More" to continue reading The firm is proud to announce that Attorney Aleksandr Y. Troyb has received the highest possible “AV Preeminent” peer review rating from Martindale-Hubbell. This rating signifies that he was deemed to have very high professional ethics and preeminent legal ability.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings evaluate attorneys based on the anonymous opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary. Martindale-Hubbell conducts secure peer review rating surveys of attorneys across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations, in similar areas of practice as the lawyer being rated. Reviewers are instructed to rate their colleagues’ general ethical standards and legal ability across various categories. The confidentiality, objectivity and independence of this ratings process are what has made this ratings system unique for many years. In addition, the fact that the ratings are determined by an attorney’s peers and the judiciary – the people who are best suited to assess the legal ability and professional ethics of their colleagues – have continued to ensure that this ratings system is highly regarded in the legal community. Attorney Troyb is honored that his peers have evaluated him as being worthy of such a high distinction. It is a true testament to his work ethic and his love for the practice of law. On May 10, 2018, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a policy memorandum will soon impact F, J and M visa holders. The new policy changes when and how immigrants with these types of visas begin to accrue "unlawful presence" in the United States.
By way of background, generally, F visas are issued to students, J visas are issued to exchange visitors, and M visas are issued to vocational students. All are non-immigrant visas. What is unlawful presence? Unlawful presence is that amount of time a person remains in the United States (US) after the expiration of his or her approved visit, as listed on their Admission Record (Form I-94). When a person enters the US on a visa, they are generally inspected by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent at the port of entry (most often an airport). When their passport and visa are examined, the CBP agent determines a date by which the non-immigrant must leave the U.S., and he or she will issue an Admission Record that provides proof of someone’s lawful record of admission. That form (which is now electronic) also contains the date by which the visitor must leave.
