Whether or not an alien is eligible to apply for asylum as well as be granted it depends on if he/she meets specific requirements. The question here is whether or not Dr. Enstein will be granted asylum since he has applied for it. The issue here is that the president of Dr. Enstein’s home country has openly vowed to destroy his religion, its’ literature as well as its members.

will be granted an I-30 or EB5 visa. There are multiple issues in this case. The first issue is that Carlos Jr. wants to adjust his status within the United States by one or two means, but could possibly be denied by both. The second issue is if he applies for adjustment of status through an I-30 visa his drug trafficking background would disqualify him. The third issue is if he applies for adjustment of status through an EB5 visa his money investment will be questioned. Under immigration law when an alien marries a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, he/she is then considered a “immediate relative” and is eligible to adjust his/her status to a permanent resident by filing a I-30 petition and I-130 form. However, if the alien is deemed inadmissible, permanent residency will be denied. Although Carlos Jr. has married a U.S. citizen, his involvement in the drug trade of Colombia makes him inadmissible.

Are Americans racist as a whole? Too many Americans believe that immigrants do not work, live off the welfare system, refuse to speak English, follow and obey American…
