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. In addition, the employer must attest that it is offering, and will offer, during the period of H-1B employment the greater of: (1) the actual wage level paid by the employer to all other individuals with similar experience and qualifications for the specific employment in question; OR (2) the prevailing wage level for the occupational classification in the area of employment.
The newsletter provides updates on US immigration law from the NPZ Law Group. It discusses several topics:
1) Comprehensive immigration reform efforts in Congress and a potential path to legal status and citizenship for unauthorized immigrants.
2) Planning for the upcoming H-1B visa lottery season in April 2014 to obtain temporary work visas.
3) A recent ruling that the spouse of an E-2 visa holder does not require separate employment authorization.
4) Efforts to expand E visa eligibility to citizens of India through treaty negotiations.
5) Automatic visa revalidation rules that allow certain nonimmigrants to re-enter the US with an expired visa but valid I-94.
This document provides tips for filing H-1B petitions, including ensuring the petitioning entity's information is filled out correctly in Part 1, signing all necessary forms, providing evidence that the beneficiary's education qualifies them for the position, and ensuring the Labor Condition Application is certified and covers the requested dates and locations of employment. Common reasons for receiving Requests for Evidence include lack of evidence showing maintenance of status, issues with extension requests, and insufficient evidence that the position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The document recommends reviewing for accuracy, providing support letters and filing petitions in duplicate to avoid delays.
The document is a newsletter from an immigration law firm providing updates on recent changes to US and Canadian immigration law. Some of the key points covered include:
- A proposed rule change by DHS to allow some H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B visa holders to apply for work authorization if their spouse has started the green card process.
- Announcements of new caps for certain Canadian immigration programs like the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
- An overview of alternative work visa options for those who did not win the H-1B visa lottery for fiscal year 2015.
- Videos and links providing more details on these topics and upcoming immigration law seminars.
This document is a newsletter from the Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Group discussing recent Canadian immigration law developments. It covers topics like the Canadian Law Group transferring IT workers to Canada under the new specialized knowledge guidelines, changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program requiring Labor Market Impact Assessments, Canada's International Mobility Program to attract high-skilled foreign workers, programs to attract French-speaking immigrants, and eligibility for NAFTA TN status for Mexican and Canadian professionals to work in the United States.
- E-Verify is an electronic system that allows employers to verify the employment eligibility of newly hired employees by checking information provided by employees against records held by the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration.
- Federal contractors are required to register with E-Verify and use the system to verify the employment authorization of all new hires and existing employees assigned to federal contracts.
- There are some exceptions to the E-Verify requirements for federal contractors including for contracts under $100,000 and subcontracts under $3,000.
This newsletter from the NPZ Law Group discusses recent updates on U.S. immigration law and policy. It covers several topics, including a report estimating that outdated H-1B visa restrictions cost the U.S. 500,000 jobs, an overview of the H-1B visa process and cap for fiscal year 2015, and updates on DACA work authorization rights. It also provides information on immigration law updates available from the law group on TV and their website.
DACA recipients can now use their Social Security Number to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, even though they are still ineligible for federal financial aid. Completing the FAFSA allows DACA students to receive a Student Aid Report, which is an important tool that can demonstrate financial need and be used to apply for institutional and private scholarships. The document provides step-by-step instructions for DACA recipients on completing each section of the FAFSA form, with special attention to accurately providing information for sections related to citizenship status, parents' financial details if they are undocumented, and electronic versus physical signatures.

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 lawfully present in the U.S. will soon be able to request a change of status to an E-2 treaty investor visa. Starting May 1st, eligible Israelis can file to change their status using Form I-129, or their employer can file for them. Spouses and children under 21 of current treaty investors and employees can also request to change their status to an E-2 dependent using Form I-539. The E-2 visa allows citizens of countries with a commerce treaty to invest substantially in a U.S. business and is also available to qualifying employees of such investors.
Last year USCIS announced earlier that it received approximately 190,098 H-1B petitions for the fiscal year 2018. Once the lottery (also referred as “random selection process”) has been completed USCIS starts to send receipt notices.
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 filing season for fiscal year 2020 begins on April 1, 2019 and ends on April 5, 2019. Demand for new H-1B visas usually exceeds the annual limit of 85,000 visas during this period, requiring a lottery to select cases. To apply for an H-1B visa, individuals and companies must file cases during the April 1-5 window, or else they will have to wait until April 2021. NPZ Law Group is preparing cases to file at the start of this period and encourages interested parties to contact them immediately to begin the application process.
The document discusses the Labor Condition Application (LCA) process that employers must complete to hire H-1B workers. It outlines the LCA requirements including paying H-1B workers the higher of the actual or prevailing wage, avoiding false statements, and posting notices of filing. Employers are liable for back wages if not properly paying H-1B workers. Additional obligations apply to H-1B dependent or willful violator employers like making displacement inquiries. Penalties for noncompliance include civil fines and potential debarment from the H-1B program.
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.
The document discusses the upcoming H-1B visa filing season, which begins on April 1st, 2019. It notes that USCIS receives over 190,000 H-1B petitions each year but only 85,000 visas are available through a lottery system. Employers are urged to begin the application process immediately to file petitions as early as possible to improve their chances of being selected in the lottery. The document provides background on H-1B visa qualifications and announces upcoming potential changes to the filing process and lottery timing.
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.
This newsletter from Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Group provides updates on recent changes to US immigration laws and policies. It discusses new electronic filing pilots for immigration courts, extended TPS for Yemen, USCIS naturalization processes, immigration court case growth, family separation protests, and options for removing conditional permanent residence due to divorce. It also provides summaries and links for additional information on matters related to asylum claims, issuance of RFES and NOIDs, Notice to Appear guidance, conditional residence removal options, impacts of school transfers on OPT, and the August 2018 visa bulletin.
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?
The document summarizes updates from the Department of State's July 2018 Visa Bulletin. It reports that:
1) EB-1 China and India preference categories will remain at January 1, 2012, and this date is expected to hold for the remainder of the fiscal year.
2) EB-2 India will advance to March 15, 2009 in July, and is likely to hold at that date through the fiscal year.
3) EB-2 China will leap forward four months to January 1, 2015 in an effort to generate more demand for that preference category.

projet de traité négocié à Istanbul (anglais).pdfEdouardHusson
Ceci est le projet de traité qui avait été négocié entre Russes et Ukrainiens à Istanbul en mars 2022, avant que les Etats-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne ne détournent Kiev de signer.
1. U Visas for Victims of Crime (Part 2)
By
Michael Phulwani, Esq. and David H. Nachman, Esq.
This is continuations of the 2 parts articles on U Visas for Victims of Crime. The U Visa
non-immigrant status is set aside for the victims of crime who have suffered substantial
mental and physical abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement authorities
investigating those crimes.
In part I of the article, we provided detailed information as to who qualifies for U nonimmigrant procedure to request U status and other details. In this part we continue
additional information relating to U Visas and related issues.
Q: Can Family Members of the Petitioner Receive U Nonimmigrant Status?
A: Family members who accompany the petitioner can, under certain circumstances obtain a U
nonimmigrant derivative visa. The U nonimmigrant visa principal must petition on behalf of
qualifying family members.
If the principle of
petitioner is...
Then...
Under 21 years of age
They may petition on behalf of spouse, children, parents and unmarried
siblings under age 18.
21 years of age or older
They may petition on behalf of spouse and children
The principal petitioner needs to file a Form I-918, Supplement A, Petition for Qualifying
Family Member of U-1 Recipient, on behalf of their qualifying family members.
Q: Can an Individual Who Has Held U Nonimmigrant Status Eventually Apply for a
Green Card (Permanent Residence)?
A: Yes.
• The individual must have been physically present in the United for a continuous period of at
least three years since the date of admission as a U nonimmigrant,
• The individual must not have unreasonably refused to provide assistance to law enforcement
since receiving a U nonimmigrant visa.
• The certifying agency must determine that the individual's continued presence in the country is
justified on humanitarian grounds to ensure continuation of a cohesive family, or is otherwise in
the national or public interest.
Q: Can Qualifying Family Members Apply for Permanent Residence (a Green Card)?
A: Yes. There are two ways family members of a U nonimmigrant visa holder can apply for a
green card. First, family members who hold a derivative U nonimmigrant visa themselves may
be eligible for a green card. Second, certain family members who have never held a derivative U
nonimmigrant visa may be eligible for a green card.
Q: What are the Eligibility Requirements for Qualifying Family Members Who Have
Never Held U Nonimmigrant Status to be Granted Permanent Resident Status?
A: The law allows USCIS to extend these benefits to spouses, children, and parents based upon
their relationship to the principal U ("U-1") nonimmigrant if:
2. •
The qualifying family member was never admitted to the United States in U
nonimmigrant status, and
•
It is established that either the family member or the U-1 principal applicant would
suffer extreme hardship if the qualifying family member is not allowed to remain in or be
admitted to the United States.
Q: What are the Procedures for Qualifying Family Members to Apply for Permanent
Residency?
A: Family members with derivative U nonimmigrant visas may apply for green cards if the U1 has met the eligibility requirements for permanent residence and the U-1’s application for
adjustment of status was approved, is currently pending, or is filed at the same time.
To apply for a green card, qualifying family members with a derivative U nonimmigrant status
must file a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. For
detailed instructions and requirements about filing for a green card please refer to special
instructions on Form I-485, Supplement E.
To apply for permanent residence for family members who have never held a derivative U
nonimmigrant visa, the U-1 status holder must file an immigrant petition on Form I-929,
Petition for Qualifying Family Member of a U-1 Nonimmigrant, concurrently or subsequent to
filing their Form I-485, Application for Adjustment of Status. If the Form I-929 is approved,
qualifying family members in the United States may file a Form I-485. Qualifying family
members outside the United States may visit a U.S. embassy or consulate to obtain their
immigrant visas.
