- O-
Occupation: For an alien entering the United States or
adjusting without a labor certification, occupation refers to the employment
held in the country of last legal residence or in the United States. For an
alien with a labor certification, occupation is the employment for which
certification has been issued.
Orphan: The Immigration and Nationality Act provides a definition of an orphan
for the purposes of immigration to the United States. A child may be considered
an orphan because of the death or disappearance of, abandonment or desertion by,
or separation or loss from, both parents. The child of an unwed mother or
surviving parent may be considered an orphan if that parent is unable to care
for the child properly and has, in writing, irrevocably released the child for
emigration and adoption. The child of an unwed mother may be considered an
orphan, as long as the mother does not marry (which would result in the child’s
having a stepfather) and as long as the child’s biological father has not
legitimated the child. If the father legitimates the child or the mother
marries, the mother is no longer considered a sole parent. The child of a
surviving parent may also be an orphan if the surviving parent has not married
since the death of the other parent (which would result in the child’s having a
stepfather or stepmother).
Out of Wedlock: A child born of parents who were not legally married to each
other at that time.
