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.Express Entry: One Good Path For Canadian immigration.

DOS' Update: VISA BULLETIN FOR JULY 2018
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.

The system is going haywire! This should be no surprise. The Trump Administration is turning US immigration and nationality law topsy-turvey. But who would have thought that North and South Korean leaders would be sitting at the same table and chatting about mutual synergies. Perhaps there is some reason to all of Trump's madness!?!?
As we continue to receive receipts for H-1B filings on April 2nd, we remind H-1B hopefuls to be mindful of considering their fallback plan and H-1B options.
The "roller-coaster ride" that we now call the "US immigration law" was recently marked by the following events... (1) An estimated 8,950 Nepalese nationals currently receiving Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will now lose this protection; and (2) the US Supreme Court this held arguments on President Trump's travel ban and it seems to be erring on the side of the President's power to implement a Travel Ban in the name of "National Security; and (3) Only a short time after the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a suspension of the Legal Orientation Program, the Attorney General testified that DOJ will reverse and continue the program; and (4) More deportation cases are being filed in immigration court that involve longer-term residents of the United States rather than recent arrivals.

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.ABCs OF H-1Bs (THIS IS PART V OF AN VIII PART SERIES): DOES MY MASTER’S DEGRE...

Most foreign nationals seeking H-1B nonimmigrant classification are subject to the 58,200 cap.

The "roller-coaster ride" that we now call the "US immigration law" was recently marked by the following events... (1) An estimated 8,950 Nepalese nationals currently receiving Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will now lose this protection; and (2) the US Supreme Court this held arguments on President Trump's travel ban and it seems to be erring on the side of the President's power to implement a Travel Ban in the name of "National Security; and (3) Only a short time after the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a suspension of the Legal Orientation Program, the Attorney General testified that DOJ will reverse and continue the program; and (4) More deportation cases are being filed in immigration court that involve longer-term residents of the United States rather than recent arrivals.
We remind our readers that we are US and Canadian Immigration lawyers.

On April 12, 2018, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has reached the congressionally mandated H-1B cap for fiscal year (FY) 2018-2019. USCIS also received more than the limit of 20,000 H-1B petitions filed under the U.S. advanced degree exemption. U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW NEWS AND UPDATES: New NVC, H-1Bs for the 2018-2019 Seaso...

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.ABCs OF H-1Bs (THIS IS PART V OF AN VIII PART SERIES): DOES MY MASTER’S DEGRE...

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. Most foreign nationals seeking H-1B nonimmigrant classification are subject to the 58,200 cap. There are an additional 20,000 H-1B visas, which are limited to individuals who receive a master’s degrees (or higher degree) from a United States College or University.Mais de Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Group, P.C.

Alvos das ações do ICE
- 1. Alvos das ações do ICE Nos últimos meses, vieram à tona notícias de que o Serviço de Imigração e Controlede Duanas dos Estados Unidos (ICE, na sigla em inglês) voltou a realizar operaçõesde “execução focadas”, as chamadas “Operation Cross Check”. Elas são direcionadas especialmente a três grupos: 1.Fugitivos– Qualquer pessoa com ordem de deportaçãodecretada; 2.Indivíduos que reentraram nos EUA após serem deportados– Não é preciso que essas pessoas tenham sido condenadascriminalmente para fazerem parte do alvo das ações do ICE; 3.“Estrangeiros criminosos” de modo geral – Qualquerestrangeiro que tenha sido condenado criminalmente. Aparentemente, outraspessoas que acabam sendo identificadas ao longo de uma operação do ICE direcionadaa uma pessoa específica podem acabar sendo enquadradasnas ações do ICE caso elas se encaixem na ampla lista de prioridades de execução apontadasna ordem executiva do presidenteDonald Trump.
- 2. Vale ressaltar que as novas prioridadesdecretadas são muito amplas e qualquerindivíduo sem documento legal de permanência nos EUA pode ser considerado uma “prioridade”. Embora as prioridades de execução citadas na ordem executiva do presidente Trump incluamqualquerpessoa que tenha sido acusada de ter cometido alguma infração (ou um ato que possa ser considerado uma infração), entendemosque a operação do ICE atualmenteem andamento está sendo focada em pessoas que foram condenadas. Porém, qualquer condenação(como por crimes, ser pego dirigindo sob influência de álcool, delitos não-violentos, etc.) pode justificar que a pessoa seja alvo da execução das operações do ICE.
