EB-4 EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HONDURAS AND MEXICO. DOS continues to observe huge demand in the EB-4 category, especially with respect to El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. As previously reported, this is largely due to demand for Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJS) visas from these countries.
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. Additionally, the employer must attest that it is offering, and will continue to 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 position in question; OR (2) the prevailing wage level for the occupational classification in the intended area of employment.

Most Americans take it for granted that marriage to a U.S. citizen and other family relationships entitle an immigrant to permanent residence (a green card), but there are barriers that often prevent or delay these family members from becoming lawful permanent residents, even if they are already in the United States. Among these barriers are the “three- and ten-year bars,” provisions of the law which prohibit applicants from returning to the United States if they depart after having previously been in the country illegally.

A maioria dos americanos considera que o casamento com um cidadão americano e outras relações familiares dão direito ao imigrante para residência permanente (um “green card”), mas há barreiras que muitas vezes impedem ou atrasam esses membros familiares de se tornarem residentes permanentes legalizados, mesmo que eles ja estejam nos Estados Unidos. Entre essas barreiras estão as "barreiras de três e dez anos", condições da lei que proíbem os candidatos de retornarem aos Estados Unidos, depois de terem permanecidos no país ilegalmente.
The final version of the long-awaited U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulation, “Retention of EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 Immigrant Workers and Program Improvements Affecting High-Skilled Nonimmigrant Workers,” was recently promulgated and it is due to take effect on January 17, 2017.
The rule updates and amends current regulations and guidance concerning employment-based visa programs to better enable U.S. employers to sponsor and retain highly-skilled nonimmigrant workers and provide greater stability and job flexibility for those workers. The rule also clarifies several agency guidance memoranda, judicial determinations and procedures and seeks to provide consistency among agency adjudications.
On Tuesday, February 21st, 2017 two (2) guidance memos were singed by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly implementing the President’s Executive Orders on immigration enforcement. Although much attention has been focused on the building of the border wall, these new memos direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to escalate harsh immigration enforcement nationwide. The memos reveal that DHS intends to take a much more “enforcement-oriented” position with regard to U.S. Immigration law.
As part of his immigration platform, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative which was announced on June 15, 2012.
We do not know how or when DACA might end. There are two actions that he can take:
Rescind the memo authorizing DACA and allow previously issued DACA and work permits to remain valid until expiration. No new applications for first-time DACA or DACA renewal would be accepted.
Rescind the memo authorizing DACA and declare immediately invalid all previously issued DACA and work permits.
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.
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution.

What are my rights if I am facing removal?
It is estimated that between 11 and 20 million undocumented immigrants currently reside in the United States. Undocumented immigrants typically enter the United States without legal permission or inspection, or through the use of false papers. Immigrants that enter legally but remain on expired paperwork or those involved in deportation proceedings are also considered illegal immigrants. President Trump has pledged to crackdown on illegal immigrants, raising concerns among many individuals who are here illegally. The following is an overview of removal proceedings. For assistance with your individual immigration matter, contact an experienced immigration attorney.

This listing of immigration terms, from a to z, provides easy-to-grasp, jargon-minimized tips and definitions, as well as examples taken from various writings and blog posts of Immigration Attorney Carlos Batara.
These terms pertain to several major areas of immigration law, including family visas and marriage-based petitions, permanent resident programs, citizenship and naturalization, deportation and removal defense, immigration appeals, humanitarian programs involving asylum, refugees, TPS, and trafficking victims, as well as immigrant domestic violence protections, such as VAWA and U visas.
Immigration law is one of the toughest areas of law because rules are consistently changing due to the political ramifications of international policy measures.
This A - Z presentation hopes to provide insight on many of the commonly asked questions asked by immigrants and immigration reform advocates.

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,
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 first day a new H-1B case can be filed is Monday, April 1, 2019. The law requires that the government keep the filing window open until Friday, April 5, 2019. As such, it is imperative that all new H-1B cases are filed no earlier than April 1, 2019 and no later than April 5, 2019.
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.
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 the next Fiscal Year on Monday, April 1st, 2019. As such, employers should start immediately identifying current and future employees who will require sponsorship for new Cap-subject H-1B nonimmigrant work visa petitions.
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?

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.

U.S. IMMIGRATION ALERT: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: EVERY ONE HAS CERTAIN BASIC RIGHTS, NO MATTER WHO IS THE U.S. PRESIDENT
1. U.S. IMMIGRATION ALERT: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: EVERY ONE HAS
CERTAIN BASIC RIGHTS, NO MATTER WHO IS THE U.S. PRESIDENT
By now everyone knows that Donald Trump has been elected president of the United States
and will begin to serve his term in January 2017. No matter who is president, everyone living
in the U.S. has certain basic rights under the U.S. Constitution.
Undocumented immigrants have these rights, too. It is important that we all assert and protect
our basic rights.
If you find you have to deal with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or other law
enforcement officers at home, on the street, or anywhere else, remember that you have the
rights described in this factsheet. The factsheet also provides suggestions for what you should
do to assert your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. You may refuse to speak to immigration officers.
Don’t answer any questions. You may also say that you
want to remain silent.
Don’t say anything about where you were born or how you entered the U.S.
Carry a know-your-rights card and show it if an immigration officer stopsyou.
The card explains that you will remain silent and that you wish to speak with an
attorney.
Do not open your door.
To be allowed to enter your home, ICE must have a warrant signed by a judge. Do not
open your door unless an ICE agent shows you a warrant. (They almost never have
one.) If an ICE agent wants to show you a warrant, they can hold it against a window
or slide it under the door. To be valid, the warrant must have your correct name and
address on it.
You do not need to open the door to talk with an ICE agent. Once you open the door, it
is much harder to refuse to answer questions.
You have the right to speak to a lawyer.
You can simply say, “I need to speak to my attorney.”
You may have your lawyer with you if ICE or other law enforcement questions you.
Before you sign anything, talk to a lawyer.
ICE may try to get you to sign away your right to see a lawyer or a judge. Be sure
2. you understand what a document actually says before you sign it.
Always carry with you any valid immigration document you have.
For example, if you have a valid work permit or green card, be sure to have it with
you in case you need to show it for identification purposes.
Do not carry papers from another country with you, such as a foreign passport.
Such papers could be used against you in the deportation process.
If you are worried ICE will arrest you, let the officer know if you have children.
If you are the parent or primary caregiver of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
who is under age 18, ICE may “exercise discretion” and let you go.
Because Donald Trump has made many anti-immigrant statements, ICE and other
law enforcement officers may think they can get away with violating your rights.
Sometimes ICE officers lie to people in order to get them to open their doors or sign away
their rights. If ICE detains you or you are concerned that they will conduct raids in your
area, this is what you can do:
Create asafety plan.
Memorize the phone number of a friend, family member, or attorney that you can
call if you are arrested.
If you take care of children or other people, make a plan to have them taken care of
if you are detained.
Keep important documents such as birth certificates and immigration documents in a
safe place where a friend or family member can access them if necessary.
Make sure your loved ones know how to find you if you are detained by ICE. They can
use ICE’s online detainee locator (https://locator.ice.gov/odls/homePage.do) to find an
adult who is in immigration custody. Or they can call the local ICE office
(https://www.ice.gov/contact/ero). Make sure they have your alien registration number
written down, if you have one.
