On Tuesday, February 21st, 2017 two (2) guidance memos were signed 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 immigration enforcement nationwide. The memos reveal that DHS intends to take a much more "enforcement-oriented" position with regard to U.S. Immigration law.

The beginning of February was marked by
nothing less than "confusion" in the U.S. immigration law arena as the
Trump Administration continues to "settle-in". Members of the NPZ Law
Group continue their active community outreach efforts through both
civic and professional organizations. It continues to be our goal to
help explain recent U.S. immigration law initiatives to what appears to
be an extremely "confused" public.
To date, the Ninth
Circuit's decision stands and the TRO (the Temporary Restraining Order
against the Travel Ban) remains in-place. The President has announced
that he is in the process of preparing a NEW Executive Order to address
the deficiencies he sees in the original travel ban. See NPZ's recent PRESS RELEASE.
Stay
tuned for more confusion at the Ports-of-Entry and for additional
litigation about the "constitutionality" over the President's
pronouncements. As we continue to tell our followers, the silver-lining
about all the immigration confusion is that the "system" seems to work.
The U.S. political system (our government) was designed to resist
"despotic rule". Often a system needs to be tested to show its "true
value" and "true strength".
New developments in the U.S.
immigration law arena that impact day-to-day operations of our HR
clients include the issuance of a new M-274, Employer's Handbook by
USCIS. We continue to receive questions about Form I-9 compliance, DOL
investigations about H-1Bs, and FDNS H-1B and L-1 Visa site visits. Our
continuing experience with increasing enforcement and government
scrutiny in the immigration law arena leads to the inescapable
conclusion that NOW is a good time to consider focusing on your
organization's business and corporate immigration compliance issues. See NPZ page about Immigration Audits and Investigations.
The
NPZ Law Group, in its efforts to continue to expand its U.S.
immigration and nationality law services to our clients (and prospective
clients), is seeking to further expand representation in Immigration
Court and in connection with Removal/Deportation services. If you should
have any questions about how NPZ Law Group can assist you (or anyone
you know) with representation in Immigration Court (in Newark, New York
City or elsewhere), we encourage you to contact us. Check out our Removal and Departation Page at the NPZ website.
In addition, we remind our readers to begin to only use NEW USCIS Forms
after February 21st. We remind our readers to take a moment to check
out NPZ Law Group's U.S. immigration and nationality law - "News and Views".
For information about how you, your colleagues, your friends or your
family members may obtain legal immigration benefits in the U.S. (and
Canada), we welcome you to feel free to contact us at info@visaserve.com or to call one of our immigration and nationality lawyers or attorneys at 201-670-0006 (x107).

This past month was an extremely busy one in the U.S.
immigration and nationality law arena. As we prepare to enter the H-1B
filing season, H-1B employers and employees continue to require deeper
analyses of options and fallback positions. Human Resources Managers
seem to be much more involved with the H-1B process. This especially
seems to be the case with regard to being certain that H-1B visa
petition preparation is accompanied by Public Access Folders (PAFs) and
preparation for H-1B Site Visits by the FDNS Officers from the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

As everyone knows,
2016 is an election year and given the "political football" that the
immigration law is we suggest that our readers continue to check-in with
our U.S. and Canadian immigration law attorneys and lawyers for changes
to the law as they may occur. We continue to remind our readers, their
friends and families, that we are U.S. and Canadian immigration lawyers
with locations in NJ, NY, IN and MA. We continue to strive to get the
very best results that we can for our clients and we continue to try to
offer ways for our clients to understand the nuances of immigration law
in their native language(s) (e.g. Spanish, Korean, Slovak, Hindi,
etc.).
Please feel free to contact us with any questions that
you may have at info@visaserve.com or you can also call us at
201-670-0006 (x107). Happy new year and we look forward to being of
assistance to you, your friends and your family members.
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.

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.
The new regulation
has its genesis in several of the memoranda that were promulgated by
President Obama in November 2014. In the regulatory summary, the USCIS
notes that it is seeking to provide: (1) improved processes for US
employers sponsoring and retaining immigrant and non-immigrant workers;
and (2) greater stability and job flexibility for such workers; and (3)
increased transparency and consistency in the application of agency
policy.
The goal of the proposed regulation is to make it
easier for U.S. employers to hire and retain workers who are the
beneficiaries of employment-based green card petitions and also to
increase the ability of workers to seek promotions, accept lateral
positions with current employers, change employers, and/or pursue other
employment options. In addition, the proposed new rule also makes
significant changes to the EAD process. The 90-day time limit for
adjudicating EAD applications would be changed "in light of national
security and fraud concerns." However, USCIS has offered a "quid pro
quo" by providing for an automatic extension of employment authorization
for timely filed I-765 renewal applications. Note the potential impact
upon the Form I-9 Employment Verification process. The new rule is quite
dense and will require a great deal of analysis. We will continue to
keep our readers posted.
