INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL &
BORDER RECORDS MONITORING
Over 40% of the time U.S. Border officials grant an incorrect immigration status, incorrect expiration or both. Due to the nuances related to R-1 religious workers entering the U.S., it is even more critical to aggressively monitor travel and border records and take corrective action. An incorrect status can result in significant risks for the religious worker, including a finding of unauthorized employment or deportation.

The Case of Fr. Sanchez:
On April 20, Fr. Sanchez returned to the U.S. with his R-1 visa after a brief trip to Colombia. The border official accidentally admitted Fr. Sanchez as an F-1 student and not as an R-1 religious worker. Therefore, Fr. Sanchez was working illegally and additionally violating his F-1 student status since he was not studying. Neither Fr. Sanchez nor his Diocese was aware of the problem.
Undetected, this mistake could have made Fr. Sanchez deportable. Luckily, Fr. Sanchez and his Diocese are clients of Volpe Law Firm and leverage the firm’s international travel and border records monitoring services. In reviewing Fr. Sanchez’s record, Volpe Law Firm detected the error and worked with border officers to take corrective action within 72 hours of his arrival.
Don’t let status errors go undetected.
