We are proud to announce that we settled Four (4) USC 1447(b) cases with the USCIS. Such actions are kind of similar to Writ of Mandamus.

A federal judge blocked the proposed “no-match rule”

The Department of Homeland Security planned to start a new immigration enforcement scheme in September. Their goal was to make employers investigate their workers’ immigration status – and then fire them if they could not prove they had legal status. However, a federal judge has blocked this rule from going into effect. In his order, he noted that it could potentially harm millions of documented workers, as well as those without legal papers.

The E-visa category was created to encourage international commerce between the U.S. and foreign traders and investors.  An individual may qualify for an E-visa if the individual is a national of a country that has a commercial trade treaty with the U.S., and the individual is entering the U.S. to trade with or invest in a U.S. business.   

In 1991, Congress created the EB-5 visa program to benefit the U.S. economy and create new jobs by encouraging foreign nationals to invest in the U.S.  To qualify for an EB-5 visa, the individual must establish that (1) the individual is coming to the U.S. to invest in a new commercial enterprise, (2) the investment occurred after November 29, 1990 (the date the EB-5 program became effective), and (3) that this ongoing enterprise will benefit the U.S. economy.
