Brad explains that the U.S. government is increasingly searching phones at the airport, using the information they find against individuals, especially those entering on B2 tourist visas. He points out that there is no constitutional protection for search or privacy at the airport until you are officially admitted into the U.S. If you’re entering on a B2 visa, your only purpose should be to be a tourist—not to work or marry. #B2Visa #AirportSearches #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #ImmigrationPolicy #BorderSecurity #viralvideo #fyp #marriagegreencard
Brad reassures those worried about potential deportation under a Trump presidency by emphasizing one law that will remain unchanged: marrying a U.S. citizen can still lead to a green card. If you’re in a bona-fide relationship with a U.S. citizen, Brad advises starting that conversation now to explore your options. #MarriageVisa #GreenCard #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #fyp #ImmigrationPolicy #LegalImmigration #VisaOverstay #VisaProcess
Brad advises that there is no waiting period after getting your green card to file a petition for a family member. As soon as you become a lawful permanent resident, you can immediately file for eligible family members to start their immigration process. #GreenCard #FamilyPetition #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #sparbernstein #immigration #fyp
Brad reviews the J1 visa after Joe Biden alleged that Elon Musk worked illegally in the USA. Elon claims he had a job visa to work, but Brad explains that you can’t sponsor yourself for a J visa, raising questions about Elon’s claims. #J1Visa #ImmigrationLaw #WorkVisa #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #spacex #tesla #elonmusk #jvisa #joebiden #kamala
Brad discusses the severe consequences of deporting all undocumented farm workers, who make up nearly 50% of the U.S. agricultural labor force. Such mass deportations could lead to devastating impacts on the food supply, skyrocketing prices, and labor shortages, ultimately crippling the agricultural industry. #FarmWorkers #ImmigrationImpact #FoodSupply #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #deport #fy #fyp
Replying to @g_salcedo DACA recipients: Brad advises traveling on advance parole and re-entering the U.S. to allow for adjustment of status. Take action now before changes occur! #DACA #AdvanceParole #ImmigrationTips #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #GreenCard #MarriageVisa #fyp
Brad explains that if you overstay on a visitor’s visa and then leave the U.S., your visa becomes invalid. It’s also unlikely you’ll be granted a new visa in the future. #VisaOverstay #VisitorVisa #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #B2Visa #VisitorVisa #ImmigrationLaw #Travel #fyp #WorkVisa #EmbassyInterview #viralvideo
Joining the military makes you a USC, not your parents. Once you’re a citizen, you can immediately file for their green card. #GreenCard #Military #GreenCard #Immigration #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #fyp #FamilyPetition #viralvideo
Brad says that as soon as you receive your green card, you’re a lawful resident, which means you’re free to travel immediately. There’s no waiting time! #GreenCard #LawfulResident #Travel #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #FamilyPetition #ImmigrationLaw #fyp
Brad explains that the legal immigration process became more challenging under Trump’s administration due to stricter policies, increased scrutiny, and added obstacles in applications and processing times. Expect the same for his second go around. #ImmigrationPolicy #LegalImmigration #BradBernstein #SparBernstein
Brad advises that dual citizens can use both of their passports. For example, you can enter Mexico using your Mexican passport and then return to the U.S. using your U.S. passport. This ensures compliance with both countries’ entry and exit requirements. #DualCitizenship #TravelTips #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #sparbernstein #mexican
Brad explains the difference between using a visitor’s visa for one long visit versus trying to live in the U.S. on a visitor’s visa, which is prohibited. While it’s generally acceptable to stay for the full duration granted on a single visit (up to six months), repeatedly returning for extended periods or effectively living in the U.S. on a visitor’s visa can raise red flags with immigration officials and lead to potential visa issues. The visitor’s visa is intended for temporary stays, not residency. #VisitorsVisa #ImmigrationLaw #TravelTips #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #fyp
Brad advises that no matter how long you’ve overstayed on a visa, you can still marry a U.S. citizen in a bona fide marriage and apply for a green card through adjustment of status. #MarriageVisa #AdjustmentOfStatus #GreenCard #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #VisaOverstay #VisitorVisa #ImmigrationLaw #B2Visa #fyp #viralvideo #ldr
Replying to @nicolerawlison Immigration lawyer Brad Bernstein advises that once you file your adjustment application through marriage to a U.S. citizen, you’ll receive a work permit and Social Security card in about 90 days. After that, there’s no excuse not to have a joint bank account and pay bills together to prove a bona fide marriage. #AdjustmentOfStatus #MarriageVisa #JointFinances #BradBernstein #SparBernstein
Brad explains that if you feel you are being unfairly stopped by CBP, you can apply through the Travel Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP) to request removal from any watchlists or for a review of your case. You can submit your request at dhs.gov/trip. #TravelRedress #CBPRights #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #ImmigrationLaw #CBPRights #LPR #AirportSearches #fyp
Replying to @Xhn👽 Brad explains that you can get married anywhere in the world and use that marriage certificate to sponsor your spouse, as long as the marriage was legal and recognized by the civil authorities in that location. #MarriageVisa #GreenCard #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #ImmigrationLaw #VisaProcess #FamilyVisa #SparBernstein #ImmigrationTips #fyp
Brad Bernstein breaks down the costs of filing for a green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen. The adjustment of status application is $1,440, the visa petition costs $675, the EAD (work permit) is $260, and travel documents are $630. #GreenCard #MarriageVisa #ImmigrationCosts #AdjustmentOfStatus #SparBernstein #bradbernstein
Brad frequently answers this question: If you come to the U.S. on a tourist visa with the intent of giving birth, you have violated the terms of your visa. A tourist visa is not meant for giving birth in the U.S., and doing so can be considered a misuse of the visa, potentially affecting future immigration opportunities. #TouristVisa #VisaViolation #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #BornInTheUSA #fypシ #fyp
Brad explains that if you are born in the U.S., you are automatically a U.S. citizen, even if you leave the country at a young age—such as 3 years old. Your U.S. citizenship is for life, regardless of where you reside. #USCitizenship #BornInTheUSA #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #TravelLaw #ImmigrationLaw
Brad explains what to do if ICE approaches you on the street. If ICE identifies you by name, you must comply and stop, but you have the right to remain silent and request to speak to a lawyer. However, if ICE randomly asks for your documentation without identifying you by name, you are not required to comply, as they have no legal right to demand documentation without probable cause. Know your rights and stay calm. #KnowYourRights #ICEEnforcement #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #DeportationDefense #fyp
