Hello. I’m preparing for E-2 from Korea. I’ve heard E-2 is being denied a lot these days — could it still be denied even if I invest $300,000?

I sponsored my parents in Korea. I recently had I-130 approved.

I’d like to know how long it typically takes from now, through the interview, to final approval.

Hello, as a green card holder, I’m planning to stay about a year for medical treatment, and I’ve heard it’s not a major problem to travel without a Reentry Permit — is that correct?

Hello, I’m preparing for third-preference unskilled employment-based immigration. The immigration agency told me that unskilled and regular skilled immigration take about the same amount of time — is that correct?

I hold a bachelor’s degree, so skilled is also an option for me — is there a big difference between unskilled and skilled?

Hello, I understood that a J-1 waiver wasn’t needed, so I just proceeded with a change of status, but USCIS sent a notice of intent to deny over this issue.

What should I do? I asked an immigration attorney I know, and they said it’s still needed. Is that correct?

Hello, is international travel possible while my green card application is pending? Would it be okay even for an extended trip?

I’m going through my green card process, but there is, in fact, a real ground for denial. I’d like to know how I should respond in this case.

After filing I-485, I received notice of an interview — what are the important things I should check when preparing for it?

I filed for a green card under Section 245(i), but lost my I-130 approval notice and I-94, and am planning to reapply. The filing fee is a burden.

Does the process become more complicated if I don’t have my I-94 when filing I-485?

I submitted I-131, I-485, and I-765 as a green card holder’s spouse and received the receipt. I’ve heard the fingerprinting notice usually arrives within 1-2 weeks, but it’s been almost a month with no notice. I’ve made an InfoPass appointment, but I’m worried about what to do.
