need help with immigration law class.

1. Answer using Family of US Citizen https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens

a. List who are immediate relatives (only applies to United States Citizen (USC))

b. List the 4 preference categories of "other family members" (categories 2A and 2B only applies to Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR))

2. Think of the Priority Date as their number in a line. Instead of a pulling a number at a counter, their number is the date that they petitioned (filed) their application. And when you're looking at the Visa Bulletin, the date that is listed tells you that all applications up to that date have been processed and have a Visa available (e.g. 01JAN05 means applications that were submitted on 1st of Jan 2005 or before have a Visa available). Answer based on DEMO Visa Bulletin Guide (which uses the March 2016 Visa Bulletin listing for Family Sponsored AOS).

a. Your client, a USC, petitioned for his brother, a citizen of the Philippines. List the Priority Date being evaluated by the USCIS.

b. Your client, a USC, petitioned for her 22 year old unmarried son, a citizen of India. List the Priority Date being evaluated by the USCIS.

c. Your client, a USC, petitioned for her 20 year old married daughter, a citizen of China. List the Priority Date being evaluated by the USCIS.

d. Your client, a LPR, petitioned for his spouse, a citizen of Mexico. List the Priority Date being evaluated by the USCIS.

e. Your client, a LPR, petitioned for her 24 year old unmarried son, a citizen of Mexico. List the Priority Date being evaluated by the USCIS.

f. List the family members that are NOT Immediate Relatives and Other Family Members (e.g. aunts, cousins, etc.) based on USC or LPR status.

3. The USCIS link that you used for the above assignment is a Training Link and NOT used in practice (law office). In a real life scenario you will use the Visa Bulletin. The Visa Bulletin can check the status of a Priority Date at any point in time. Usually, clients will contact your office an ask about their ability to adjust. This is when you obtain their Priority Date (either they give it to you or you review their file) and then you check the Visa Bulletin to determine if they're Priority Date is current. Complete the following using the real Visa Bulletin for TODAY as if you client just called you (whatever day you're working on the assignment).

a. Your client, a USC, petitioned for his 26 year old unmarried daughter, a citizen of China, and has a Priority Date of May 15 2014. Is the visa available?

b. Your client, a LPR, petitioned for her spouse, a citizen of Mexico, and has a Priority Date of July 28 2016. Is the visa available?

c. Your client, a USC, petitioned for her brother, a citizen of India, and has a Priority Date of April 15 2013. Is the visa available?

d. Your client, a LPR, petitioned for his 16 year old unmarried daughter, a citizen of the Philippines, and has a Priority Date of June 6 2010. Is the visa available?
