[Title] => New scam: Greencards for caregivers in three months
[Summary] => Dear Atty. Gurfinkel:
I am a nurse in the Philippines and would like to immigrate to America. I saw a newspaper ad claiming that greencards were available for caregivers in only a few months. I called and I was told that I needed to enroll in their company’s "caregiver school", after which I would be given a certificate, confirming that I am a qualified caregiver. The person also said they have an office in the US which would petition me, with an assurance that my visa will be issued in only three to four months. Is that possible?

[Title] => I.N.S. memo says no deportations based on Section 245(i) filings
[Summary] => 
Dear Atty. Gurfinkel:
I heard a lot about Section 245(i), but I was hesitant to ask my brother, who is a U.S. citizen, to file a family petition on my behalf so I can avail of Section 245(i) My. hesitation stemmed from fear that the I.N.S. might use the information I will put in my petition to come after me, and start deportation proceedings against me and my family I was worried that if I filed a petition to avail of Section 245(i), I’ll get deported.

[Title] => Section 245(i): A way for TNT’s in US to avoid US Embassy - IMMIGRATION CORNER by Michael J. Gurfinkel
[Summary] => Dear Atty. Gurfinkel:
I have been out of status in the U.S. for several years, and would like to find a way to get a green card. I have heard and read a lot about Section 245(i), and how it preserves a person’s future ability to adjust status, or be interviewed for a green card, in the U.S.
However, I have also heard that Section 245(i) does not necessarily put a person in immediate legal status, grant immediate work authorization, shield a person from deportation, allow them to travel outside the U.S., etc.

[Title] => Be sure to prove your physical presence in US Dec. 21, 2000 for section 245(i) - IMMIGRATION CORNER by Michael J. Gurfinkel
[Summary] => Section 245(i) is a law which allows certain persons to eventually adjust status (be interviewed for their greencard) in the U.S., even if they are out of status, worked without authorization, jumped ship, snuck across the border, etc.

1. The person must have a family petition or Labor Certification Application "properly filed" on or before April 30, 2001;

[Title] => Frequently asked questions about Section 245 (i) - IMMIGRATION CORNER by Michael J. Gurfinkel
[Summary] => Part V
On December 21, 2000, the Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act (LIFE Act) was signed into law. The LIFE Act included, among its provisions, an extension of Section 245(i) until April 30, 2001.
Section 245(i) allows certain illegal aliens to adjust status (be processed or interviewed for a greencard) in the U.S., rather than going back to the US Embassy for visa processing, even though the alien may be out of status, TNT, worked without INS authorization, crewmen who jumped ship, entered the U.S. without inspection (snuck across the border), etc.
