🚨 ¿Pueden quitarte la residencia permanente (Green Card)? Muchas personas creen que tener una Green Card significa que estarán protegidas para siempre, pero eso no siempre es así. Aquí está la diferencia: ✅ Los titulares de una Green Card pueden perder su estatus en ciertas situaciones. ✅ Los ciudadanos estadounidenses no pueden ser deportados y obtienen importantes beneficios, como el derecho al voto, viajar con un pasaporte estadounidense y patrocinar a más familiares para obtener beneficios migratorios. Si has tenido tu Green Card durante 3 a 5 años, es posible que ya seas elegible para solicitar la ciudadanía estadounidense. Mira este video para aprender: ✔️ Por qué la residencia permanente no siempre es permanente. ✔️ Los principales beneficios de convertirte en ciudadano estadounidense. ✔️ Cuándo podrías ser elegible para solicitar la naturalización. ❓¿Tienes una pregunta sobre inmigración que te gustaría que la abogada Karine Sokpoh respondiera en un próximo video?

🚨 IMMIGRATION UPDATE 🚨 USCIS has issued new guidance clarifying the signature requirements for immigration benefit requests. The policy is effective immediately for applications filed on or after July 10, 2026. 📌 What You Should Know: • Scanned or photocopied original handwritten signatures are still accepted. • A pasted or separately affixed image of a handwritten signature is not valid. • USCIS may reject or deny an application if it determines the required signature is invalid. 🔗 Learn More: https://assets.aila.org/files/605b723e-6242-4af6-98b8-6f73b8464107/26071005.pdf?1783717406 ⚖️ This content is for educational purposes only and is not legal advice.

🚨 BREAKING IMMIGRATION NEWS 🚨 The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finalized a rule ending the long-standing "Duration of Status" (D/S) policy for F, J, and I visa holders. The new rule takes effect on September 16th, 2026. 📌 What’s Changing: F-1 students, J-1 exchange visitors, and I visa holders will receive a fixed period of stay on their Form I-94 instead of being admitted for the duration of their program or authorized activity. 📌 Why It Matters: Visa holders must carefully monitor their I-94 expiration date. If additional time is needed, they must apply for an extension before their authorized stay expires. 🔗 Learn More: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/17/2026-14439/establishing-a-fixed-time-period-of-admission-and-an-extension-of-stay-procedure-for-nonimmigrant ⚖️ This content is for educational purposes only and is not legal advice.

🚨 Can your green card be taken away? Many people believe a green card means they're protected forever—but that's not always true. Here's the difference: ✅ Green card holders can lose their status in certain situations. ✅ U.S. citizens cannot be deported and gain important rights like voting, traveling with a U.S. passport, and sponsoring more family members. If you've had your green card for 3–5 years, you may already be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship.

⚖️ Sole Proprietor vs. LLC: What’s the Difference? If you started a business without filing formal paperwork, you may already be operating as a sole proprietor, but many business owners do not realize the personal risk that comes with it. As a sole proprietor, you and your business are legally the same entity. That means business debts or lawsuits could put your personal assets at risk. Forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) helps create legal separation between you and your business while also adding credibility and preparing your company for growth. Choosing the right business structure matters. At 402Legal, we help business owners protect what they are building, understand their rights, and we persist when others give up. 🔗 Schedule your consultation: 402Legal.com 📞 Call us today: 402-858-2020 ⚖️ This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended as legal advice.

Si comenzó un negocio sin registrar formalmente su empresa, es posible que ya esté operando como propietario único y muchos dueños de negocios no conocen los riesgos personales que esto implica. Como propietario único, usted y su negocio son legalmente la misma entidad. Eso significa que las deudas o demandas comerciales podrían poner en riesgo sus bienes personales. Formar una LLC ayuda a crear separación legal entre usted y su negocio, además de brindar mayor credibilidad y preparar su empresa para crecer. Elegir la estructura correcta para su negocio es importante.
