If one parent is not currently working in the US, they must provide a letter from their employer stating when they will be joining the L-1 parent in the US.
18.Apart from federal student aid, do you qualify for any state-specific scholarships for dependents of non-immigrant workers (such as California Dream Act)?
This would depend on the specific state and their requirements for eligibility. It is best to research the state-specific scholarships that may be available and see if you meet the criteria for any of them.
19.What will happen if there is a change in employment or status of either parent holding the L-1 visa?
If there is a change in employment or status of either parent holding an L-1 visa, it could potentially affect their immigration status and ability to continue working in the United States. Here are some potential scenarios and outcomes:
1. If the L-1 visa holder’s employment or status changes before their dependent children turn 21 years old, their children may no longer be eligible for derivative L-2 visas. This could result in the dependent children having to obtain different visas or leaving the United States.
2. If the L-1 visa holder’s employment or status changes after their dependent children turn 21 years old, it will not affect their children’s immigration status as they would have aged out of being eligible for a derivative L-2 visa.
3. If the changing employment or status results in the L-1 visa holder losing their job or being unable to meet the requirements of the visa, they may need to leave the United States.
4. The change in employment or status could also result in the USCIS denying an extension of stay for either parent if they are applying for one.
It is important for L-1 visa holders and their dependents to consult with an immigration attorney if there are any changes in their employment or status to understand how it may impact their immigration status and what steps should be taken to maintain legal stay in the United States.
20. Are you aware of any state or federal financial aid restrictions due to your non-immigrant status (such as federal work-study eligibility)?
Yes, there may be restrictions on certain types of financial aid for non-immigrant students. For example, federal work-study programs may only be available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Additionally, some state scholarship and grant programs may have residency requirements that could impact eligibility for non-immigrants. It is important for non-immigrant students to research and understand the specific financial aid options available to them based on their immigration status.
