Some Venezuelans have found legal pathways through marriage to U.S. citizens or residents, others through their U.S.-born or recently naturalized children who can now file petitions on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>For these individuals, there are solutions available through family-based petitions and adjustment of status.<\/p>\n<p>However, many others remain in more fragile circumstances. Some have pending asylum cases, others have received denials, and others never filed any petition at all. The latter are now in what I would call an \u201cimmigration limbo\u201d \u2014 a vulnerable space where there is no protection and no immediate path forward.<\/p>\n<p>Those who still have an asylum application pending can continue with their process and maintain their work permit through asylum. But as I explained in the interview, asylum is one of the most difficult protections to win in U.S. immigration law. It requires extensive evidence, time, and preparation. When denied, the person can be referred to Immigration Court and placed in removal proceedings. This means that while asylum provides temporary protection, it is an unstable safeguard.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\t\t<div id=\"wd-6914c33638172\" class=\"wd-text-block wd-wpb reset-last-child wd-rs-6914c33638172 text-left\">\n\t\t\t<h2>The Responsibility of Staying Without Legal Status<\/h2>\n<p>One question I was asked was whether it is \u201cresponsible\u201d for someone without papers to remain in the U.S., waiting for a potential change in administration or court decision that could reverse the end of TPS.<\/p>\n<p>As an attorney, I must say: staying in the country without status is not responsible from a legal standpoint. It places the individual \u2014 and their family \u2014 in a constant state of risk. Detention or deportation can occur at any moment, and without prior preparation, it can leave loved ones unprotected.<\/p>\n<p>If someone decides to remain despite the risks, it is essential to make contingency plans: designate guardianship for children, clarify financial and property management, and ensure that family members are informed and prepared. These are difficult conversations, but they are acts of responsibility toward one\u2019s family.<\/p>\n<p>I understand, however, that many people feel they cannot return. Venezuela\u2019s political and humanitarian crisis has pushed countless families to make impossible choices. My role as an immigration attorney is not to judge these decisions but to provide honest guidance and realistic options.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\t\t<div id=\"wd-6914c33638172\" class=\"wd-text-block wd-wpb reset-last-child wd-rs-6914c33638172 text-left\">\n\t\t\t<h2>A Historical Perspective: TPS Has Always Been Temporary<\/h2>\n<p>Many people believe that because TPS has been renewed in the past, it will always continue. Historically, it has indeed been extended multiple times. For example, TPS for Nicaragua and Honduras has lasted for over 27 years since 1998. Those beneficiaries built entire lives in the U.S. under that protection.<\/p>\n<p>However, TPS \u2014 as its name says \u2014 is temporary. It can end when the government determines that conditions in the designated country have improved or for policy reasons.<\/p>\n<p>In the current case of Venezuela, the government did not specifically claim that the conditions in the country had changed; rather, it based the termination on broader administrative arguments, including recent security concerns. Unfortunately, those isolated cases have overshadowed the reality that the vast majority of Venezuelans in the U.S. are law-abiding individuals who came seeking safety and opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, there is at least one pending lawsuit in California challenging the termination of TPS, but until a court issues a new ruling, affected individuals must prepare for all possible outcomes.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\t\t<div id=\"wd-6914c98c17654\" class=\"wd-image wd-wpb wd-rs-6914c98c17654 text-center\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/ariasvilla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miami-Immigration-Lawyer-Humanitarian-Parole-Services.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Miami Immigration Lawyer - Humanitarian Parole Services\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ariasvilla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miami-Immigration-Lawyer-Humanitarian-Parole-Services.png 1200w, https:\/\/ariasvilla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miami-Immigration-Lawyer-Humanitarian-Parole-Services-400x208.png 400w, https:\/\/ariasvilla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miami-Immigration-Lawyer-Humanitarian-Parole-Services-150x78.png 150w, https:\/\/ariasvilla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miami-Immigration-Lawyer-Humanitarian-Parole-Services-768x400.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\t\t<div id=\"wd-6914c33638172\" class=\"wd-text-block wd-wpb reset-last-child wd-rs-6914c33638172 text-left\">\n\t\t\t<h2>The Rise of Misleading Visa Offers: The EB-2 \u201cNational Interest Waiver\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Another subject I addressed during the interview is the growing number of misleading offers surrounding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/working-in-the-united-states\/permanent-workers\/employment-based-immigration-second-preference-eb-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EB-2 National Interest Waiver<\/a> \u2014 often referred to as \u201cEB-2 NIW.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This type of petition is legitimate and valuable for qualified individuals. It allows certain professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities to apply for residency without employer sponsorship if they can show that their work benefits the national interest of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>However, the problem lies in how this visa is being promoted. Recently, it has been heavily commercialized on social media and by unqualified agents as if it were available to anyone with a university degree and five years of experience. Some people are being charged $15,000 to $20,000 for these applications, with the false promise of guaranteed approval.<\/p>\n<p>That is simply not true. The EB-2 NIW requires a strong academic, professional, and salary profile \u2014 not just a diploma. It demands detailed evidence of national impact, publications, achievements, or unique expertise. Unfortunately, I have seen many cases denied because individuals were misled into believing they qualified when they did not.<\/p>\n<p>Before investing large amounts of money in any immigration process, always verify the attorney\u2019s credentials, review the requirements with a licensed immigration lawyer, and ensure that the petition is legally sound.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\t\t<div id=\"wd-6914c33638172\" class=\"wd-text-block wd-wpb reset-last-child wd-rs-6914c33638172 text-left\">\n\t\t\t<p>The end of TPS for Venezuelans has caused understandable concern and confusion. Yet, despite the uncertainty, there are still lawful paths available for those who qualify. It\u2019s essential to act wisely, avoid misinformation, and stay informed through credible sources and licensed professionals.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know is affected by the end of TPS or has been approached with offers that sound \u201ctoo good to be true,\u201d seek proper legal advice before taking any step.<\/p>\n<p>You may contact my office at <strong>305-671-0018<\/strong> or follow me on social media for updates and educational content.

Martha, como siempre, muy gentil, un gusto tenerte por ac\u00e1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abogada Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nBuenos d\u00edas, Eduardo y Sa\u00fal. Un saludo para ustedes, much\u00edsimas gracias por invitarme. Es un placer para m\u00ed estar con ustedes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a1Caramba! Pero qu\u00e9 bella eres, qu\u00e9 buena energ\u00eda, qu\u00e9 educaci\u00f3n. Con esa entrada, imag\u00ednate t\u00fa, Martha, eso no lo hace todo el mundo. Gracias, gracias, gracias en la distancia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abogada Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nGracias, gracias a ustedes. Eres una dama.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nMira, Martha, primero: \u00bfson realmente 250.000 las personas que est\u00e1n afectadas directamente por esta decisi\u00f3n del TPS? Y un poco de manera redundante, pero para ir al detalle posible, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es la perspectiva para ellos en medio de lo que est\u00e1 pasando?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abogada Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nBueno, es un poco complicada la perspectiva para la mayor\u00eda. Y digo la mayor\u00eda porque, como usted podr\u00e1 entender, muchos van a tener una suerte distinta. Cada uno va a tener su propia suerte.<br \/>\nAquellas personas que se casaron con ciudadanos americanos \u2014que yo tengo varios de ellos, incluso con residentes\u2014 pueden tener una forma de resolver su estatus migratorio. Tambi\u00e9n tengo venezolanos que ten\u00edan el TPS y cuyos hijos son ciudadanos americanos o se hicieron recientemente ciudadanos americanos. Ellos tambi\u00e9n pueden hacer un ajuste de estatus y pedir su residencia.<\/p>\n<p>Pero hay otras personas que tienen el asilo, todav\u00eda con una solicitud pendiente. Esas personas deben continuar con su petici\u00f3n de asilo y el permiso de trabajo a trav\u00e9s del mismo. Obviamente, es una situaci\u00f3n muy inestable, porque el asilo \u2014como usted bien sabr\u00e1\u2014 es una aplicaci\u00f3n que se presenta, hay que probar demasiado, y es muy dif\u00edcil ganarlo. Si se lo niegan, eventualmente pueden ser enviados a una corte de inmigraci\u00f3n para una posible deportaci\u00f3n. Entonces, esos que tienen el asilo est\u00e1n protegidos, pero de una forma inestable, dir\u00eda yo.<\/p>\n<p>Y finalmente, est\u00e1n los que ya no tienen nada que hacer: los que no presentaron petici\u00f3n de asilo, no tienen asilo pendiente, no tienen familia que los pida\u2026 esos est\u00e1n pr\u00e1cticamente en un limbo migratorio. Esos son los que m\u00e1s nos preocupan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nAhora, doctora, f\u00edjese: el tema pol\u00edtico que tanto influye en este tipo de decisiones \u2014pendiente tambi\u00e9n de lo que ven\u00edamos conversando\u2014 el tema de la perspectiva y del futuro, sobre todo para los que dicen \u201cyo no tengo papeles, pero si sale una decisi\u00f3n del tribunal tal o incluso la administraci\u00f3n Trump cambia esto, yo me quedo y me aguanto\u201d. \u00bfEs una decisi\u00f3n responsable, sobre todo para quien piensa as\u00ed con su familia al lado?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abogada Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nBueno, yo pienso que obviamente responsable no es, porque uno, pues, est\u00e1 en los Estados Unidos en violaci\u00f3n de la ley; y dos, vive en una incertidumbre total, en la que en cualquier momento lo pueden detener, arrestar, llevar a detenci\u00f3n, y su familia, sus bienes, sus pertenencias, quedan sometidos a un drama o a una situaci\u00f3n complicada.<\/p>\n<p>Las personas deben prepararse si van a quedarse en esas circunstancias: c\u00f3mo manejar la tutela o la potestad de sus hijos, c\u00f3mo sus bienes van a ser administrados. Todo esto, porque ser\u00eda muy complicado que una persona sea arrestada, no tenga papeles y, de un momento a otro, no pueda responder por su familia.<\/p>\n<p>Lo otro que considero es que, s\u00ed, hay personas que se juegan ese chance \u2014vamos a llamarlo as\u00ed\u2014 o toman ese riesgo, y en el futuro resuelven de alguna manera. Claro que hay muchas personas que lo hacen as\u00ed, pero desde el punto de vista legal, obviamente, como abogada, no puedo decir que es responsable. Sin embargo, entiendo a muchas personas que no quieren regresar o que definitivamente no pueden regresar a su pa\u00eds y tienen que jugarse esta carta de esa manera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nAmigos, estamos conversando con Martha Arias desde Miami, v\u00eda telef\u00f3nica, abogada de inmigraci\u00f3n. Tomando en cuenta tu especialidad y conocimiento hist\u00f3rico, una situaci\u00f3n as\u00ed \u2014vista m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del TPS para venezolanos, observando el todo del tema migratorio en Estados Unidos\u2014 \u00bftiene precedentes? Porque, al final, uno se pregunta: si decido quedarme en ese limbo, \u00bfhasta qu\u00e9 punto puedo sobrevivir en medio de ese laberinto?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abogada Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nDesde el punto de vista hist\u00f3rico, el TPS siempre se ha extendido, se ha vuelto a otorgar. De hecho, sabemos que el TPS de Nicaragua y Honduras estaba vigente desde 1998 y dur\u00f3 pr\u00e1cticamente 27 a\u00f1os siendo extendido. Las personas ten\u00edan derecho al permiso de trabajo y viv\u00edan aqu\u00ed por casi tres d\u00e9cadas.<\/p>\n<p>Pero s\u00ed, bajo la ley, el TPS, como lo dice su propio nombre, es una protecci\u00f3n temporal. Puede ser eliminado si hay cambios en las condiciones del pa\u00eds o ciertas circunstancias. En este caso, el gobierno no adujo realmente cambios en las condiciones del pa\u00eds; m\u00e1s bien, argument\u00f3 una situaci\u00f3n de protecci\u00f3n y sostuvo que muchas de las personas que hab\u00edan entrado recientemente y aplicaron para el TPS pertenec\u00edan al \u201cTren de Aragua\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Obviamente, todos sabemos que esas son pocas personas, y la gran mayor\u00eda son trabajadores honestos, incluso muchos que entraron con visa. Pero, aun as\u00ed, el gobierno ha terminado el TPS en otras ocasiones. En este caso, las demandas que se presentaron ganaron ciertas batallas, pero no la guerra. Llegaron hasta la Corte Suprema, donde la Corte claramente apoy\u00f3 al Ejecutivo en la terminaci\u00f3n del TPS.<\/p>\n<p>Aparentemente, tengo conocimiento de que hay una demanda pendiente en California sobre esto, pero no tengo mucha informaci\u00f3n porque a\u00fan no se ha hecho p\u00fablica. En su debido momento, cuando ya se anuncie y tengamos claridad de lo que est\u00e1n pidiendo las partes demandantes, podremos conversar al respecto.<\/p>\n<p>Por ahora, las personas deben protegerse: o salir del pa\u00eds, o continuar con su asilo, o tomar sus riesgos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nDoctora, ya nos queda un minuto y medio. En su pr\u00e1ctica cotidiana, \u00bfqu\u00e9 tipo de peticiones predominan entre los venezolanos que acuden a su oficina? \u00bfLe piden ayuda para quedarse o para mantener sus papeles en regla y poder viajar hacia otro pa\u00eds?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abogada Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nMire, sinceramente, la mayor\u00eda \u2014yo dir\u00eda un 40 o 45 por ciento\u2014 se est\u00e1n inclinando por peticiones laborales a trav\u00e9s de empleadores, lo cual es correcto; hay ciertas peticiones que se pueden hacer. Pero la mayor\u00eda debe salir del pa\u00eds, no pueden ajustar estatus ni recibir su residencia aqu\u00ed con esas peticiones de empleo.<\/p>\n<p>Sin embargo, hay mucha desinformaci\u00f3n, porque a veces la gente no entiende que debe salir del pa\u00eds. Inician estos procesos costosos sin saber que deber\u00e1n salir a recibir la residencia fuera de Estados Unidos. Me da mucha pena por ellos, porque invierten dinero y tiempo para luego enterarse de eso.<\/p>\n<p>Otros est\u00e1n aplicando para lo que se ha promocionado \u2014o mercadeado, porque realmente es mercadeo\u2014 como la \u201cEB-2 National Interest Waiver\u201d, o EB-2 con inter\u00e9s nacional. Es una petici\u00f3n de residencia para personas con habilidades extraordinarias, que pueden demostrar estar en el top de su profesi\u00f3n o carrera. Pero se requiere probar bastante.<\/p>\n<p>\u00daltimamente la est\u00e1n comercializando, como digo yo, como pan diario. Y eso no es as\u00ed. No es una visa para todo el mundo. Requiere calificaciones, un perfil profesional, acad\u00e9mico, laboral y de salario muy alto. Pero se la venden por 15 o 20 mil d\u00f3lares. Es costosa. Le hacen creer que con tener un t\u00edtulo universitario y cinco a\u00f1os de experiencia ya califican, y no es cierto. Me da mucha pena ver personas con esas visas denegadas despu\u00e9s de invertir tanto dinero.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed que, s\u00ed, mucha gente est\u00e1 recurriendo a la EB-2 de Inter\u00e9s Nacional con esperanza, gastando dinero, y no siempre es la opci\u00f3n adecuada. El resto de las personas \u2014la mayor\u00eda\u2014 siguen afianzadas en el asilo. Yo dir\u00eda otro 40 por ciento. Y un peque\u00f1o grupo ha decidido hacer su petici\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s del matrimonio, obviamente de buena fe, con intenci\u00f3n genuina de vida en pareja. Algunos no se hab\u00edan casado por ser j\u00f3venes o por esperar alguna situaci\u00f3n familiar, pero ante las circunstancias, han decidido hacerlo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nMuch\u00edsimas gracias, Martha.

Martha, as always, very kind\u2014such a pleasure to have you with us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nGood morning, Eduardo and Sa\u00fal. A greeting to both of you, and thank you very much for inviting me. It\u2019s a pleasure for me to be with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nGoodness! You are so lovely, what good energy, what manners. With that introduction\u2014imagine! Martha, not everyone does that. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from afar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nThank you, thank you to you. You are very kind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nLook, Martha, first\u2014are there really 250,000 people directly affected by this TPS decision? And, to be a little redundant but go into detail if possible\u2014what is the outlook for them in the midst of what is happening?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nWell, the outlook is a little complicated for the majority. And I say \u201cthe majority\u201d because, as you can understand, many will have a different fate. Each one will have their own fate.<br \/>\nThose who married U.S. citizens \u2014 and I have several of them, even with residents \u2014 may have a way to resolve their immigration status. I also have Venezuelans who had TPS and whose children are U.S. citizens or recently became citizens. They too can adjust status and apply for residency.<\/p>\n<p>But there are other people who have asylum, still with a pending application. Those individuals must continue with their asylum case and their work permit through asylum. Obviously, it is also a very unstable situation because, as you well know, asylum is an application that must be proven extensively. It is very difficult to win, and if denied, they can eventually be sent to immigration court for possible deportation. So those who have asylum are protected, but in an unstable way, I would say.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, there are those who have nothing left to do \u2014 those who did not file for asylum, do not have a pending case, and do not have family members to petition for them. Those are practically in an immigration limbo. They are the ones we worry about the most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nNow, attorney, consider this\u2014the political factor that so strongly influences these types of decisions. Regarding what we were talking about\u2014the outlook and the future\u2014especially for those who say, \u201cI don\u2019t have papers, but if a certain court decision comes out, or if the Trump administration changes this, I\u2019ll stay and hold on.\u201d Is that a responsible decision, especially for someone thinking that way with their family beside them?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nWell, I think that, obviously, it is not responsible because, first, one is in the United States in violation of the law; and second, one is living in complete uncertainty, where at any moment they can be detained, arrested, taken into custody, and their family, their belongings, their possessions are left facing a drama or a complicated situation.<\/p>\n<p>People must prepare themselves if they plan to remain under such circumstances: how to handle guardianship or custody of their children, how their assets will be managed. All of this, because it would be very difficult for a person to be arrested, have no documents, and from one moment to the next be unable to respond for their family.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I consider is that, yes, there are people who take that chance \u2014 let\u2019s call it that \u2014 or take that risk, and in the future, they somehow manage to resolve. Of course, many people do that. But from a legal standpoint, obviously, as an attorney, I cannot say it\u2019s responsible. However, I understand many who do not want to return or who simply cannot return to their country and must play this card this way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nFriends, we\u2019re speaking with Martha Arias from Miami, by phone, immigration attorney. Considering your specialty and even historical knowledge, a situation like this \u2014 not only from the perspective of the temporary protection system for Venezuelans but from the broader historical view of immigration in the United States \u2014 does it have precedent? Because, as Sa\u00fal was suggesting, in the end one wonders: if I decide to remain in that limbo, to what extent can I survive in that maze?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom a historical point of view, TPS has always been extended; it has always been renewed. In fact, we know that the TPS for Nicaragua and Honduras began in 1998 and lasted practically 27 years being extended. Those people had the right to work permits and lived here for almost three decades.<\/p>\n<p>But yes, under the TPS law, as its name says, is temporary protection. It can be terminated if conditions in the country change or under certain circumstances. In this case, the government did not really claim that the conditions in Venezuela had changed; rather, it argued a situation of national protection, stating that many of the people who had recently entered and applied for TPS were members of the \u201cTren de Aragua.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, we all know those are very few individuals, and the great majority are honest workers \u2014 many of them even entered with visas. But still, the government has terminated TPS in other cases. In this case, the lawsuits that were filed won some battles but not the war. They reached the Supreme Court, which clearly supported the executive branch in the termination of TPS.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, I have knowledge of a pending lawsuit in California on this issue, but I don\u2019t have much information because it hasn\u2019t yet been made public. At the right time, when it\u2019s announced and we have clarity about what the plaintiffs are demanding and what arguments are being made, we can talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>For now, people must protect themselves\u2014either leave the country, continue with asylum, or take their risks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nAttorney, we have about a minute and a half left. In your day-to-day legal practice, what trend are you seeing among Venezuelan clients? Do they ask you for help to stay in the U.S., or to maintain their papers properly to perhaps travel to another country?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nWell, I\u2019ll tell you honestly, the majority \u2014 I would say around 40 or 45 percent \u2014 are leaning toward employment-based petitions through employers, which is valid; there are certain petitions that can be done. But most of them must leave the country; they cannot adjust status or obtain residency here through those petitions.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a lot of misinformation about this because people often don\u2019t understand they must leave the country. They begin these processes, which are very costly, without realizing that they\u2019ll have to depart to obtain the residency abroad. I feel bad for them because they invest money only to later learn that they\u2019ll need to leave anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Others are applying for what has been promoted \u2014 or marketed, because it really is marketing \u2014 as the \u201cEB-2 National Interest Waiver.\u201d It\u2019s a residence petition for people with extraordinary abilities who can show that they are at the top of their profession or occupation. But that requires significant proof.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, it\u2019s being commercialized, as I say, like daily bread. And it shouldn\u2019t be. It is not a visa for everyone. It requires qualifications and a very high professional, academic, employment, and salary profile. Yet it\u2019s being sold for $15,000 to $20,000. It\u2019s extremely expensive. They tell people that if you have a university degree and more than five years of experience, you qualify. No\u2014that\u2019s not true. I feel sorry to see people with those visas denied after investing so much money.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, many are turning to the EB-2 National Interest Waiver with hope, spending a lot of money, and it\u2019s not always the right option. The rest \u2014 most \u2014 are still relying on asylum. I\u2019d say another 40 percent. And a smaller group has decided to file petitions through marriage, obviously real marriages made in good faith. Some hadn\u2019t married yet because they were young or waiting for family situations, but seeing the current circumstances, they\u2019ve decided to take that step.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nThank you very much, Martha. How kind, and what an insightful contribution amid this distressing issue for so many Venezuelans. A big hug.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney Martha Arias:<\/strong><br \/>\nThank you very much. A hug to all of you, and have a wonderful rest of the week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOST:<\/strong><br \/>\nLikewise, Martha Arias, immigration attorney. What a fine spokesperson\u2014such direct, technical answers. As Eduardo was saying, many are taking advantage of Venezuelans\u2019 worry, selling them things that aren\u2019t true. And that\u2019s another point we must pay attention to.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In my recent interview on Uni\u00f3n Radio, with Eduardo Rodr\u00edguez and Sa\u00fal Noriega, I spoke about the complex reality that","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86,72,87,81],"tags":[79,90,93,185,92,85,122,114,115,266,106,96],"class_list":["post-11787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-immigration-news-updates","category-immigration-process-explained","category-legal-resources-guides","category-videos","tag-asylum-seekers-and-refugees","tag-deportation","tag-immigration","tag-immigration-attorney","tag-immigration-resources","tag-immigration-with-martha-arias","tag-martha-arias","tag-political-asylum","tag-tps","tag-tps-venezuela","tag-uscis","tag-venezuela","post_format-post-format-video"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>After TPS: The Hard Truth Facing Venezuelans in the U.S. - Miami Immigration Lawyer - Attorney Martha L.
