All applicants for non-immigrant visas at U.S. Embassy Manila must use the Electronic Visa Application Form (EVAF).

Applicants must complete the DS-156 visa application form online, print the form and barcode page, complete the DS-157 form by hand, and bring all of these papers to the Embassy for their interview. The online DS-156 form does not transmit any information to the U.S. Department of State electronically. The printed barcode contains all of the application information.

With the ever changing situation in the World, with the extra scrutiny, and security, that Visa applications are presently being subjected to, the process to obtain a Visa is becoming much slower, and more difficult. We do advise that if you have a loved one in a foreign country, and you want to bring them to be with you, that you begin the Visa process as soon as you can. In the very near future we believe that the process to obtain a Visa could take up to two (2) years, so before that becomes the norm, ACT NOW!

Do I need an Attorney? (From the Editor of ILW): EDITOR'S COMMENTS

Immigration-related responsibilities in the new shape of the federal government appear to be as follows:

• Department of Homeland Security - Bureau of Transportation Security, Bureau of Citizenship/Immigration Services

• Department of State - Consular Affairs, Educational/Cultural Affairs, Population/Refugees/Migration

• Department of Labor - Employment Training Administration, Employment Standards Administration

• Department of Justice - Executive Office for Immigration Review, Office of Immigration Litigation, Office of Special Counsel, Office of Special Investigation

The above is most certainly a complex structure, reflecting in some degree, the complexity of the subject of immigration itself. Whatever other inferences can be drawn from this complexity, one thing appears crystal clear: this complexity is good news for immigration lawyers. Our informal understanding of the cases filed for immigration benefits is that the majority of cases, perhaps a significant majority, are filed without assistance of counsel. Often times, this is not for economic reasons; many perceive the immigration process to be simple, even when it is not. This is particularly true for family-based immigration. With increased complexity in immigration procedure as the future of the Homeland Security Department unfolds, it is likely that a larger percentage of family-based immigration cases will be filed with assistance of counsel than has hitherto been the norm.

Security Clearances:

All immigrant K and V visa applicants may require security clearances based upon their biographical, and background information. While most security clearance procedures occur prior to the final immigrant visa interview, in some instances additional security procedures may be required after the interview. The security clearance process takes between four(4) and six(6)months and, unfortunately, cannot be expedited. Applicants should plan their schedules accordingly. ALL SECURITY CLEARANCE PROCEDURES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Items on the Forms themselves can trigger the need for Security Clearances.

Admission of Marijuana use to Doctor is grounds for Inadmissibility.

Now you can be denied a visa for what you say to the doctor at the medical interview. The law says if you have been convicted of a crime, you are inadmissible. However, were you aware that if you tell the doctor at the medical interview you have smoked marijuana in the past, even though you were never arrested or convicted, you can, and likely will be denied a Visa. Just one more reason to retain an experienced company, with licensed immigration attorneys who keep up to date with the latest changes in the laws, as well as keeping abreast of any and all procedural changes at the Embassies throughout the world. "Experience" the RHC Difference!
