Lost Your Permanent Resident Status And Want To Return To The US?

If you've lost your permanent resident status due to prolonged absence from the US, fear not. US legislation permits you to seek returning resident status with an SB-1 visa. Being away from the US for more than two years with a re-entry permit or longer than a year without one leads to the loss of your residency status. No matter the reasons for your long stays abroad, be it caring for elderly relatives or work commitments, an SB-1 visa could be your pass to return. However, comprehensive proof of your intention to return and reside permanently in the US must be provided.  Here are some essential details to keep in mind if you plan to apply for an SB-1 visa. This is where Joseph Urso, an Immigration Law attorney in New York, comes in. He can assist you in compiling and presenting the kind of evidence that has the best chance of persuading the USCIS to issue you an SB-1 visa. 


First and foremost, it is vital to understand that an SB-1 visa is not automatically granted and requires a thorough review of your individual circumstances. This means that each case is unique and will be evaluated based on its own merit. As such, having the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney can greatly increase your chances of success.


One crucial aspect of the application process for an SB-1 visa is providing evidence of your intention to maintain permanent residence in the US. This can include proof of property ownership, bank accounts, employment opportunities, family ties, and more. Joseph Urso can help you gather all necessary documentation and present it in a compelling manner to demonstrate your intent to return to the US as a permanent resident.

What Kind of Evidence Do I Need for an SB-1 Visa?

Joseph Urso, an accomplished Immigration Law attorney in New York, is here to guide you through your paperwork, scrutinizing it for it's adequacy in proving your case. Remember, with each day that you delay, USCIS approval of your petition becomes increasingly less probable.

What Can I Do If the USCIS Doesn’t Approve My SB-1 Application?

Joseph Urso, an Immigration Law attorney based in New York, can assist you in exploring alternative routes for returning to America. The alternatives may include applying for a non-immigrant visa or the immigrant visa that positioned you for your initial permanent resident application.
