The Citizenship and Immigration Service issues an Employment Authorization Document. The Social Security Administration issues a social security number. Because of confusion about when to apply for what, the foreign national may sit around impatiently waiting for permission to apply for employment.  In addition to preparing the application, Blandon Law assists foreign nationals with employment by confirming the foreign national’s immigration status in writing to potential employers.

Likewise, foreign nationals sometimes fail to apply for proper travel authorization. During the time that adjustment of status applications are in process, the foreign national may travel abroad.  However, if the foreign national leaves without travel authorization, the Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) assumes that the foreign national has abandoned her application.  In turn, CIS will deny the file as abandoned.  Blandon Law helps foreign nationals avoid common travel mistakes. These include not applying for the travel authorization and failing to recognize when she should apply for Emergency Travel Permission.

Blandon Law prepares evidence to demonstrate to the Citizenship and Immigration Service that a Travel Document is needed sooner rather than later. Because regular travel permission may take anywhere from ninety days to six months to obtain, Emergency Travel Permission may be obtained within one week.
