Eligibility Criteria To qualify, the foreign national must have been a member of a religious denomination having a bona fide non-profit religious organization in the United States for at least 2 years immediately before the filing of the petition. A prospective or existing U.S. employer must file Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, on behalf of an R-1 worker. An R-1 visa cannot be issued at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad without prior USCIS approval of Form I-129. Visa exempt workers must present the original Form I-797, Notice of Action, at a port of entry as evidence of an approved I-129 R petition. Submit Duplicate Copies Reminder: Please remember to submit a duplicate copy of the petition and all supporting documents if the beneficiary will be applying for an R-1 visa. Failure to submit a duplicate copy to USCIS with the Form I-129 may result in a delay in the issuance of a nonimmigrant visa abroad from the U.S. Department of State. Both the petitioning organization and the religious worker must satisfy certain requirements, which are listed in the chart below. Supporting Documents Required for the Religious Organization Supporting Documents Required for the Religious Worker Proof of tax-exempt status If the religious organization has its own individual IRS 501(c)(3) letter, provide a currently valid determination letter from the IRS showing that the organization is tax-exempt If the religious organization is recognized as tax-exempt under a group tax exemption, provide a group ruling If the organization is affiliated with the religious denomination, provide: A currently valid determination letter from the IRS showing that the organization is tax exempt; Documentation that establishes the religious nature and purpose of the organization; Organizational literature; and A religious denomination certification, which is part of the R-1 Classification Supplement to Form I-129 (see the links to the right) Proof of salaried or non-salaried compensation Verifiable evidence showing how the organization will compensate the religious worker, including specific monetary or in-kind compensation. Evidence of compensation may include: Past evidence of compensation for similar positions; Budgets showing monies set aside for salaries, leases, etc.; Evidence that room and board will be provided to the religious worker; If IRS documents such as Form W-2 or certified tax returns are available, they must be provided; and If IRS documents are not available, you must explain why and provide comparable, verifiable documentation If the religious worker will be self-supporting Documents that show the religious worker will hold a position that is part of an established program for temporary, uncompensated missionary work, which is part of a broader international program of missionary work sponsored by the denomination Evidence showing that the organization has an established program for temporary, uncompensated missionary work in which: Compensated or uncompensated foreign workers previously held R-1 status; Missionary workers are traditionally uncompensated; The organization provides formal training for missionaries; and Participation in such missionary work is an established element of religious development in that denomination. Evidence showing that the organization’s religious denomination maintains missionary programs both in the United States and abroad Evidence of the religious worker’s acceptance into the missionary program Evidence of the duties and responsibilities associated with this traditionally uncompensated missionary work Copies of the religious worker’s bank records or budgets documenting the sources of self-support.

This may include, but is not limited to, Form W-2 or certified copies of filed income tax returns reflecting such work and compensation for the previous R-1 employment If the religious worker received non-salaried compensation: If IRS documents are available, provide IRS documentation of the non-salaried compensation; or If IRS documents are not available, explain why and provide comparable, verifiable evidence of all financial support (including stipends, room and board, or other support) with a description of the location where the religious worker lived, a lease to establish where he or she lived, or other evidence If the religious worker received no salary but supported him or herself and any dependents, provide verifiable documents to show how support was maintained.

krypton Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Keep in mind that it is not necessary to have an R-1 visa first in order to apply for a green card. If the religious worker has already gained two years of qualifying employment experience abroad, it's possible to apply directly for the green card following the processing described below. The only benefit of first getting the R-1 visa is that in some cases, it may be faster, by several months, to get the person here initially and then pursue the green card. How to Proceed Here’s an overview of the steps by which an R-1 visa holder would move forward to obtaining a U.S. green card. Step 1: Employer Files I-360 Visa Petition Once a person has the required two years of experience as a religious worker, the first step is for the U.S. employer to file Form I-360 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The key information and materials include the following: I-360 petition form. It’s available as a free download on the USCIS website. The form can be a bit confusing, because it is used for various types of immigration cases. The employer should just complete the employer and employee sections and the sections that are specific to religious workers. Employer attestation. The employer must attest to specific and detailed information on the I-360 petition concerning the religious organization, its membership and affiliations, any prior religious worker or R visa petition filings, and its ability to pay the offered wages. The employer must also attest to details concerning the proposed employment and the employee's qualifications. Proof of nonprofit status. The employer will need documentation from the Internal Revenue Service confirming the nonprofit status of the employer, such as a determination letter indicating that the organization is tax-exempt. Proof of ability to pay. The employer will also need to include evidence of the its ability to pay the offered wages, such as W-2 forms showing wages paid to the employee or other employees, annual reports, financial statements, or tax returns of the organization. Evidence of membership. Include documentation of the employee's membership in the religious denomination for at least the two years immediately before filing the I-360 petition. A letter from a pastor, for example, would suffice. If the petition is for a minister, copies of educational and ordination documentation. If the religious denomination does not have a prescribed theological education requirement, submit copies of documents outlining the ordination process and showing that the employee satisfied all the requirements. Proof of two years' experience. The employer will need to submit documentation to confirm that the employee completed two years of qualifying employment immediately before filing the I-360 petition. A letter from the employer with any relevant supporting documents, such as W-2 wage reports, are examples of acceptable evidence. Filing fee. This was $405 as of 2013; check the Form I-360 page of the USCIS website for the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
