Now, it sets the stage for an insightful Q&A, where customers got the chance to ask leading U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel their most pressing immigration questions.
Vivian, one of the guests, expressed concern about job opportunities for healthcare professionals, asking, “Do you think visa availability for Filipino nurses will improve under President Trump?”
Another hot topic involved stricter re-entry policies, as she followed up with, “Is it true that immigration might ask permanent residents to surrender their green cards upon re-entry?”
Ludy, another guest, faced a heartbreaking situation. She had petitioned her brother for immigration, but just before his medical exam and interview, he sadly passed away. She asked, “Can I still bring over his children?”
Valerie, concerned about her aging parents, inquired, “My father has Parkinson’s, and my mom is in her 70s. I’m a U.S. citizen. What can I do to help them and my relatives in the Philippines?”
With real questions from real people, this episode offers valuable insights that may help other Filipinos facing similar challenges. Atty.
