H-1B SEASON IS UPON US . . . WILL THIS YEAR'S ECONOMY BRING A LOTTERY? PLANNING FOR THE H-1B VISA SEASON IS KEY TO BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE YOUR WORK AUTHORIZED STATUS IN THE U.S.
It is that time of year again! We always hear the accountants moan and groan about the approaching April 15th deadline each year but, you have to listen a bit more closely and you will hear (and see) the U.S. business immigration lawyers and attorneys manifesting their distaste for the April 1st filing date for "cap" subject H-1B professional and specialty occupation workers.
We are in the midst of the H-1B season. If you have not yet begun to prepare the H-1B for the April 1st filing date, do not despair. It is not too late. It will take about a week or so to submit and receive an approval for the Labor Condition Application (LCA - Form 9035) from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) but there is still time. The most important thing to do now is to immediately ask your employer to submit an H-1B Petition on your behalf.

Based on the current predictions, the U.S. economy will rebound after 2015's growth rate of 2.1%. What does this mean for the immigration practitioners, professionals, and prospective H-1B employers and employees? Assuming that the economy performs as projected, it is highly likely that we will once again, as we did in 2015, witness the H-1B lottery (technically referred to as “Random Selection Process”) during April 2016. To better prepare for the H-1B cap, this article endeavors to summarize a few practice pointers which every prospective H-1B employer and employee should know.

If your H1B sponsor is charging your HIGH fees, then beware of the employer. Lot of people trying to apply for H1B Visa form outside USA ( like India) might get ripped-off by consulting companies.
Last year, at about this time, the USCIS announced that it has received 172,500 H-1B petitions for the fiscal year 2015 which began on October 1st, 2014. The H-1B lottery (also referred as “random selection process “) is likely to be conducted again this year and, in a few weeks, the USCIS will begin to send out H-1B receipt notices.
With uncertainty looming large as to who may or may not “win the lottery” or who may or may not cross the ‘threshold’ hurdle of H-1B visas, it is time that H-1B visa hopefuls (and their prospective H-1B employers) start to explore other nonimmigrant work visa options to allow them to work and live in the United States on a temporary basis.
This article is timely in nature and it seeks to capture and present some of the possible nonimmigrant work visa options that may be available to prospective H-1B visa beneficiaries who do not “win the H-1B lottery” this fiscal year and who do not get counted toward the 2016 Fiscal Year H-1B cap.

The American H-1B visa, while it could be a key fuel for the U.S. economy, is notoriously so badly set up that a lot of high-skilled workers and the American companies that badly needs them just give up trying to connect together.
And yet, many others find a job and immigrate all year long to work in many other American companies. The infamous H-1B makes many people forget that there are many other kinds of employment-based visas in the U.S..

As Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Group's Immigration and Nationality Lawyers continue to prepare H-1B nonimmigrant work visas for the 2018-2019 filing deadline on April 2nd, we take a short pause to look at the H-1B visa lottery from the "20,000 foot view".
We continue to see the impact of President Trump's "Buy American ... Hire American"(BAHA) and "Extreme Vetting" policies that continue to impact the business immigration law arena.
With the recent announcement about the NEW NVC (National Vetting Center), it appears to clearly be the case that immigration processes in the U.S. will continue slow to a crawl.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) this past week released a report detailing Trump's purported mission to expand immigration enforcement powers and to quash the exercise of "prosecutorial discretion" in immigration cases.
AILA's report finds that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are not prioritizing criminal convictions or public safety threats for removal, contrary to prior claims. Rather, these immigration agencies are seeking to deport those they can easily identify. They have "all but eliminated discretionary authority".
INFOPASS appointments continue to be very difficult to obtain. Government officials are more and more difficult to reach. Greater obstacles have been established, for us, as immigration lawyers, to hurdle.
We are facing challenging times in the practice of immigration law in the US. We continue to remind our clients to be "patient and persistent".
Nevertheless, our immigration law staff continues to work hard to find "creative solutions" for immigration law problems. Please feel free to reach out for us at 201-670-0006 (x107) if we can be of assistance to you, your colleagues, your family members, or any members of your staff.

As a reminder to all U.S. employers, H-1B season is almost here! United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (“USCIS”) will start accepting new H-1B petitions for fiscal year 2017 on Friday, April 1st, 2016. As such, employers should start immediately identifying current and future employees who will require sponsorship for new H-1B petitions.
The reason why immigration reform needs to be "grass roots" is because it impacts all of us that way. Foreign nationals are all around us. Their kids grew-up with your kids. You have shared barbecues and block parties with them and you have sat with them in Church or Temple on the weekends. When the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicles surround a house in the community with sirens blaring, children watch and wonder what they may have done wrong..........

Happy new year to all! In the U.S., we look forward to what promises to be an exciting New Year on the immigration and nationality law front. In anticipation of the New Year we were provided with a new DRAFT rule from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about employment-based green card processing, nonimmigrant work visas and employment authorization documents (EADs). The regulation is 181 pages in length and it affects a large portion of the country's skilled immigrant workers as well as potentially millions of others that may apply for EADs.

On July 24, 2019, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a FINAL rule that will make significant changes to the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program; the rule will go into effect on Nov. 21, 2019. This is noted to be the first significant revision to the program’s regulations since 1993. Some of these revisions include:
Kendi ülkenize dönmekten korkuyor musunuz? Öyleyse, İltica başvurusunda bulunabilirsiniz. Çıkarma sürecinde iseniz, iltica başvurusunun farklı olduğunu unutmayın. Bu makalede, iltica talebinde bulunmayanlar için iltica başvurusunda bulunmayı açıklayacağız. Sığınma için uygunluk, ırk, din, milliyet, politik görüş ya da belirli bir sosyal gruba üyeliğiniz nedeniyle geçmişte yaşadığınız bir zulme veya gelecekte yaşayabileceğiniz zulüm korkusuna dayanmaktadır. Bu korku size özel olmalıdır. Kendi ülkenizin genellikle güvensiz olması yeterli değildir; Neden özellikle sizin için güvensiz olduğunu açıklayabilmelisiniz.
H-1B visas are granted to those who meet specific qualifications. The required qualifications include that the applicant have at least a bachelor’s degree from a U.S. institution and have a job offer from a U.S. employer that requires the H-1B Candidate to hold at least a bachelor’s degree.
Certain Israeli nationals who are lawfully present in the United States will soon be able to request a change of status to the E-2 treaty investor classification. Beginning May 1,
In the first week of April during the last several years the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) announced that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap, both regular and master’s.
Many F-1 visa holders, particularly those who are engaged in OPT change their immigration status to become professional and specialty workers (H-1B workers). The H-1B cap is the Congressionally-mandated limit on the number of individuals who may be granted H-1B status during each fiscal year.
The H-1B visa program permits a United States employer (“employer”) to temporarily employ nonimmigrants to fill specialized jobs in the United States. The Immigration and Nationality Act (the “INA” or the “Act”) requires that an employer pay an H-1B worker the higher of the actual wage or the local prevailing wage, in order to protect U.S. workers and their wages. Under the Act, an employer seeking to hire a foreign national in a specialty occupation on an H-1B visa must receive permission from the Department of Labor (“DOL”) before the foreign national may obtain an H-1B visa. The Act defines a “specialty occupation” as an occupation requiring the application of highly-specialized knowledge and the attainment of a bachelor’s degree or higher. The Act requires an employer seeking permission to employ an H-1B worker to submit and receive an approved Labor Condition Application (“LCA”) from the DOL.
The Canadian Parliament recently announced that it was going to add more than one million new permanent residents in next three years (2019-2021). It is foreseeable that more than half of the new permanent residents will arrive on one of the three economic programs in the Express Entry program – the Federal Skilled Worker (“FSW”) Class, the Federal Skilled Trades (“FST”) Class, and the Canadian Experience (“CE”) Class. The Provincial Nomination Program (“PNP”) is also expected receive a great deal of additional applicants in the coming years.
Employers who seek to hire an H-1B nonimmigrant in a specialty occupation must first make a filing with the Department of Labor (DOL) and obtain a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA, among other things, must specify the number of workers sought, the occupational classification in which the H-1B will be employed, and the wage rate and conditions under which the proposed H-1B nonimmigrant will be employed.
David Nachman, Esq., Managing Attorney at NPZ Law Group, says “for the new year there are some really big changes “on the cusp” for the H-1B Visa Lottery program”. The US and Canada Immigration and Nationality Lawyers at the Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Group continue to closely monitor the changes.
Government attorneys across the country are submitting requests to re-calendar previously administratively closed immigration cases. What does this mean for the immigration court system, and what does this mean for you?
First of all, what is administrative closure? Immigration Judges for decades have administratively closed, or indefinitely postponed cases in Immigration Court. Another form of administrative closure is also called

Many H-1B visa holders could you find themselves facing deportation proceedings if their application for a visa extension or change of status have been rejected...
The Trump administration has empowered officials to outright reject visa applications under certain circumstances. This step
can be taken if the required ‘initial evidence’ wasn’t submitted or it failed to establish eligibility for the visa sought. The revised
policy will apply to all applications and requests received by the authorities from September 11 onwards.

What to do about getting 2 years conditional permanent resident status when there is divorce or divorce case is still pending?
You can file Form I-751 at "any time" if you have a final order of divorce or annulment. That's true even if your conditional green card is not close to its expiration date. But what happens if you haven't yet filed for divorce or your divorce is not yet final?
Employment-Based Preference Categories
EB-1 China and EB-1 India remain steady at January 1, 2012, and DOS anticipates this date will hold for the remainder of the fiscal year. It is hoped that these categories will become current again on October 1, 2018, but demand trends will be monitored over the summer. If USCIS District Offices are not interviewing EB-1 China and EB-1 India applicants with priority dates beyond the established final action date, DOS may not have clear visibility into total demand. If there is a surge in demand for these categories beginning in October, it could cause a final action date to be imposed more quickly in the fiscal year than otherwise anticipated.
DOS expects that a final action date for EB-1 Worldwide will be imposed either in August or September, but notes that the category will return to current in October.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. H-1B SEASON IS UPON US . . . WILL THIS YEAR'S ECONOMY BRING A
LOTTERY? PLANNING FOR THE H-1B VISA SEASON IS KEY TO
BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE YOUR WORK AUTHORIZED STATUS
IN THE U.S.
It is that time of year again! We always hear the accountants moan and groan about the approaching
April 15th deadline each year but, you have to listen a bit more closely and you will hear (and see) the
U.S. business immigration lawyers and attorneys manifesting their distaste for the April 1st filing date
for "cap" subject H-1B professional and specialty occupation workers.
Well, here we go again . . .
On April 1st, 2014 marks the first day when prospective H-1B petitioning employers and prospective H1B employees will be able to apply to the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") for and Labor Condition
Application ("LCA") and Petition to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("CIS") for H-1B
visa petitions for employment in the fiscal 2014 - 2015 year ("FY 2014"). Our advice to our H-1B
employer clients continues to be that they need to think about filing H-1B petitions on (or very close to)
April 1st for new and existing employees who will be eligible for a first-time H-1B visa to begin their
employment on or after October 1st, 2014.
Each Fiscal Year, Congress has mandated an annual cap of 65,000 H-1B visas for "professional and
specialty occupation workers" who possess the equivalence of a U.S. Bachelor's Degree. There are also
an additional 20,000 H-1B visas available for individuals who possess the equivalence of a U.S. Master's
Degree or other advanced degrees from U.S. Colleges or Universities. It continues to be the case that H1B visa petitions filed on behalf of current workers who have been counted previously against the H-1B
visa cap are not included in the annual cap established by Congress. Additionally, pursuant to the Chile
and Singapore Free Trade Agreement, 6,800 H-1B visas are available exclusively to Chile and
Singapore Nationals. This reduces the total allotment of H-1B visas available each fiscal year to 58,200.
For many years, our office assisted students who had to deal with the "cap-gap" issue. Now this is less of
an issue if the H-1B is filed before the work authorization of the student expires. We also assist
employers with E-Verify applications so that they can offer international students a 17 month STEM
extension. E-Verify registration is relatively easy to do and seems also be the "wave of the future" with
regard to the employment verification process in the U.S.
In 2008 there was a regulation that gave some assistance to international students in the U.S. who
applied for H-1B in their OPT period. In 2008, a regulation was promulgated that provided "cap-gap"
relief for F-1 students with pending H-1B petitions. For example, F-1 student visa holders who received
work authorization in Optional Practical Training (OPT) were permitted to extend the authorized period
of stay and work authorization as long as they have received approved H-1B visas prior to the expiration
of the OPT. Also, many Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ("STEM") students
continue to use the STEM extension as a way to have the time they need to petition in the next
appropriate H-1B cycle. However, and as previously stated, to get the STEM extension, the employer
needs to be enrolled in E-Verify.
For the fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011, the H-1B allotment actually lasted for almost eight to nine
2. months. In 2012, the H-1B allocation lasted until November. This year (2013) the H-1B allotment was
exhausted in a matter of three to five (3 - 5) days of the H-1B visas becoming available. This required
the CIS to conduct a "lottery". As a result, not all H-1Bs were accepted for processing by the USCIS
(formerly, the INS). The demand for H-1B visas this fiscal year may be greater than it was for last year.
We keep hearing that "economic recovery" is happening. For this reason, we continue to advise our H1B employer clients and H-1B beneficiary hopefuls to consider filing on March 31st, or as soon
thereafter as possible.
