Answered 11 years and 5 months ago by Svetlana Boukhny (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Immigration

If I am working in the US by an H-1b visa, will it effect my F4 immigration process?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney M. Gabriela Ungo   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
