Ink Signature No Longer Required on Affidavits of Support – The Department of State has announced that original or “wet ink” signatures are no longer required on submitted form I-864, Affidavit of Support. This also applies to the I-864A, I-864W, and I-864EZ forms.

Trump and GOP Seem Poised to Usher in Sweeping Changes in Immigration Policy – During the campaign, Trump made several sweeping promises on the campaign trail, including building a 2,000-mile wall along the country’s southern border that would be paid for by Mexico, the immediate deportation of nearly 11 million immigrants living here illegally, and a potential ban on Muslim immigrants. In this article, the ABA Journal quotes Attorney Carl Shusterman as to President Trump plans for limiting legal immigration.
Trump’s Immigration Ban Means a War with Tech – The decision by President Donald Trump to impose a broad immigration ban on 7 countries may have an impact he did not foresee. Aside from inflaming civil liberties groups, sparking court fights and spontaneous demonstrations last night at various US airports, the move is also giving the tech industry a renewed voice and a rallying point on immigration. Computerworld quotes Attorney Carl Shusterman in this article.
USCIS Announces a New Approach to Posting Processing Times – On January 5, 2017, the USCIS announced that it would begin post processing times using a specific date format rather than weeks or months. This is part of an ongoing effort to make processing times easier to understand.
1. Trump’s Executive Orders: How to Protect Yourself
In his first week in office, President Trump wasted no time in issuing 3 Executive Orders regarding immigration. It is apparent that this is just the beginning of how he intends to upend our nation’s immigration system.
If you are an immigrant, we will give you some advice on what you need to do to protect yourself and your family at the end of this article.
President Trump’s Executive Orders
Here are the links to each of the Executive Orders:
Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements (1-25-17)
Enhancing Security in the Interior of the United States (1-25-17)
Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States (1-27-17)
If only the Executive Orders could accomplish these goals, the American people would all benefit. However, they are written in such a fashion that they will make us less secure.
The 1st Order concerns building a wall along the 2,000 mile border between the US and Mexico, an ill-conceived endeavor which would cost the American taxpayers (No, the government of Mexico has made it very clear that they do not intend to pay for the wall.) tens of billions of dollars and accomplish very little.
The 2nd Order would prioritize the deportation of criminals, a smart move, but something that the Obama Administration has already done for many years.
However, the Order would also compel state and local agencies to turn over information to the DHS which they are unwilling to do. Imagine if your local police department were forced to share the immigration status of every person that was given a traffic ticket. The bond of trust between local enforcement and these people will be broken. Would immigrants report serious crimes to their local police departments if this bond was broken?
The 2nd Order would also stop Federal funding to “sanctuary cities”, an issue whose legality will ultimately be decided in the Federal Courts.
Most of the press has concentrated on the 3rd Order which would halt refugees from coming to the US for 120 days, from Syria indefinitely and halting the entry of persons into the US from 7 majority Muslim countries for 90 days or more.
Suspending the resettlement of refugees punishes the victims, not the perpetrators. ISIS and Al Queda must be laughing at the stupidity of this policy.
GOP Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham issued a statement condemning the Executive Order for doing “more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security.”
The Order, on its face, would even permit CBP officers at airports to turn away lawful permanent residents (aka green card holders) no matter how long they have lived in the US with their families. Then, two days after the Order was signed, a high official in the Trump Administration announced that it would not apply to green card holders.
It does without saying that we all want to protect our country from terrorists. Yet, excluding all visitors, students and professionals merely because they were born in a particular country or are members of a particular religion will not protect us and is antithetical both to our values and our interests.
The order excludes citizens/nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the US.
Would such an Order have stopped the 9/11 attacks, the Boston Marathon massacre or the San Bernardino shootings? Of course not, since none of the perpetrators were from any of these 7 countries. Duh!
What do these Executive Orders accomplish except to grab headlines and apparently convince some of our fellow citizens that the President is serious about controlling immigration and stopping terrorism?
And this is only the beginning. Now, the USCIS has announced that it will put a hold on all applications and petitions benefitting citizens/nationals of the 7 countries, be they in the US or abroad. That means that a green card holder who was welcomed to our country after fleeing the revolution in Iran (be he/she Moslem, Christian, Bahai or Jewish) cannot be sworn-in as a US citizen. Sad.
A draft copy of a 4th unsigned Executive Order entitled “Protecting American Jobs and Workers by Strengthening the Integrity of Foreign Worker Visa Program” was linked Vox.com. This Order would impact the H-1B and H-4 EAD programs, provide for site visits to L-1 employers and expand the E-Verify Program.
Advice for Workers, Students and Visitors
If you are from one of the 7 countries listed above, do not leave the country unless you do not intend to return to the US.
If you are from a predominately Moslem country, remember that it may be dangerous for you to travel abroad since your country could be added to the List of 7 at any time.
If you are have a pending application/petition for immigration benefits and you are from one of the 7 countries, your application will be placed on hold. See your immigration attorney if you wish to file a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in Federal Court to try to force the government to take action on your pending application/petition.
If you are from a predominately Moslem country which is not on the List of 7, you may want to file your application for immigration benefits now before your country is added to the List of 7.
If you are a green card holder, no matter what country you were born in, you may be wish to apply for naturalization as soon as possible in order to assure that you will be able to travel abroad freely in the future.
If you are present in the US on temporary visa and wish to extend or change your status, do so as soon as possible as immigration laws may be changed in the future to make it more difficult for you to do so.
If you are undocumented, see an immigration attorney to see if there are any possibilities for you to apply for lawful status.
If you are undocumented, and are arrested by an Immigration Officer, refuse to sign any documents or give a statement. Instead, request a hearing before an Immigration Judge. You may be eligible for relief from deportation and for an Employment Authorization Document.
If you plan to sponsor a relative for a green card, do so immediately as the family-based categories may be severely restricted in the future.
If you are on a temporary working visa and wish to apply for a green card, ask your employer to sponsor you now.
2. Are You Ready for the H-1B Filing Season?
Employers and employees need to get started on the H-1B process now. It is time to prepare job descriptions, obtain Prevailing Wage Determinations (PWDs), post notices and submit Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) to the Department of Labor.
On April 3, 2017, the USCIS will begin accepting H-1B petitions. Since there is an annual numerical cap of only 85,000 H-1B visas (65,000 for the general cap, and 20,000 for those with advanced degrees in the US), the USCIS holds 2 lotteries for H-1B petitions.
During each of the last 2 years, the USCIS received over 230,000 H-1B petitions annually from cap-subject H-1B employers, almost 3 times the number of visas available.
Some of our corporate clients, knowing that there is only a 1 in 3 chance that an H-1B petition that they submit could be chosen in the lotteries, file 3 times as many H-1B petitions for each job that they wish to fill. USCIS filing fees for petitions not chosen in the lotteries are refundable. Attorney fees are not.
Certain jobs are exempt from the H-1B numerical caps. These include employment “at” universities, at “affiliated” or “related” organizations or at non-profit or government research institutions. USCIS has recently published new rules which broaden these categories.
It is very important that properly completed H-1B petitions be submitted to the USCIS on a timely basis.
A properly completed H-1B petition will include the following documents:
A certified LCA showing that the employer agrees to pay the beneficiary at the prevailing wage for the position or the actual wage, whichever is higher;
Evidence that the employer has the ability to pay the above salary;
Evidence that the occupation requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in the field of specialty; and
Evidence that the H-1B professional’s educational credentials and/or experience are sufficient to meet the requirements of the position.
Upon approval of an H-1B petition, the professional will be able to commence his or her employment on October 1, 2017. If the professional is in the US in a nonimmigrant status, the H-1B petition should also include an application for a change of status. Otherwise, a professional can apply for an H-1B visa at a US Embassy/Consulate in his/her home country and come to the US 10 days prior to October 1, 2017.
The initial period of employment in H-1B status is granted for up to 3 years and may be extended for an additional 3 years. H-1B professionals whose employers have taken timely steps to apply for permanent residence on their behalf may receive post-6th year extensions. Once an H-1B professional has been counted towards the H-1B cap, he or she can obtain H-1B extensions and change employers without regard to the cap.
While most H-1B professionals are educated abroad, a large number are educated in the US. Generally, these persons have obtained their undergraduate or graduate degrees in the US while in F-1 status. F-1 students can obtain Optional Practical Training (OPT) upon graduation and are able to work for their employers for up to 1 year prior to obtaining H-1B status. In addition, they may qualify for automatic extensions of their OPT work permits after April 3, 2017 under USCIS’ “cap-gap” rule.
For persons with degrees in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) field, if their employers participate in the E-Verify program, they can extend their OPT work permits for an additional 24 months whether or not they are selected in either of the H-1B lotteries.
Meanwhile, bills are being introduced in Congress to dramatically reform the present H-1B system. One, the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act, would abolish the lottery and give priority for H-1B visas to foreign students who graduate from universities in the US.

5. Success Story: Here’s Your Green Card, Ms. Obama!
This is a story that I never had the opportunity to share, and now seems the perfect time.
About 25 years ago, a young woman from Japan named Yuko came to my office, desperately seeking immigration assistance. She had contacted over two dozen immigration attorneys, and all of them said that there was nothing that they could do to help her. I was her last resort, she told me.
I ask a lot of questions both on our intake form that clients complete before their consultations, and during their interviews.
What caught my attention was that her grandmother was born in Colorado, but as a young girl had returned to Japan with her parents.
This not only made her grandmother a US citizen, but because of the laws at that time, her son, Yuko’s father, became a US citizen at birth even though he was unaware of this.
I advised Yuko to bring her father to the US. When she did so, we did two things: (1) We got him a US passport; and (2) We had him sponsor Yuko for a green card as his “immediate relative”.
With a few months, Yuko became a permanent resident and we became friends for life.
But the story doesn’t end there.
In early 2008, I was attending an event sponsored by Congressman Howard Berman when I noticed that a young Senator has entered the room and was shaking hands with people in the crowd. I had read the Senator’s book entitled “Dreams from My Father” and was eager to meet him.
I pushed my way through a bunch of bodyguards, and Senator Barack Obama and I had a brief conversation. A friend of mine took a photo of us together. Later that year, the young Senator was elected President of the United States.
Later, I shared the story of my meeting the Senator with Yuko, whose full name is Yuko Obama. Thereafter, every time Yuko had lunch with me, our receptionist would announce, “Ms. Obama is here to see you!” to laughter from me, Yuko and the other lawyers in our office.
Last month, I helped Yuko draft a letter to President Obama.
A couple of weeks ago, Yuko received a letter from the White House which read:
“Dear Yuko,
Thank you for writing – you have a great last name! I appreciated hearing your story, and it means a lot that you reached out.
One of America’s greatest strengths has always been the promise we see in those who come here from across the globe, and I was touched to hear how my visit to Hiroshima personally affected you. It’s been the greatest privilege to serve as President of the United States, and I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama”

7. Ask Mr. Shusterman : DHS Proposes Changes in EB-5 Program
On January 13, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a proposed rule which would enact the most significant changes in the EB-5 investor program in over 20 years.
Increase in Minimum Investment Amounts
The new rule would increase the minimum investment amount for those investing in projects located in Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs) from $500,000 to $1,350,000.
The minimum amount for investments not in TEAs would be increased from $1,000,000 to $1,800,000.
In addition, these amounts would be adjusted every 5 years in the future to conform with the Consumer Price Index.
Designation of TEAs
Municipalities with an unemployment rate which is at least 150% of the national unemployment rate are TEAs as are certain rural areas.
The purpose of allowing lower minimum investment amounts for projects in TEAs is to aid workers in these areas.
Many persons have criticized the gerrymandering of TEAs boundaries in order to facilitate the development of EB-5 projects located in wealthy areas.
The proposed rule would make it much more difficult for wealthy areas to be classified as TEAs. The ability of states to designate areas of high unemployment would end. DHS would make these designations using a uniform national standard.
Retention of Priority Dates
The proposed rule would permit the beneficiary of an approved I-526 to use the priority date of an approved petition for a different project in the event that the original regional center or project runs into trouble after the approval of the petition, but before the investor receives a green card.
Effective Date of the Proposed Rule
The comment period for the proposed rule ends on April 11, 2017, nearly 3 months into the new Administration and shortly before the EB-5 regional center program is scheduled to expire.
Whether the proposed rule will become effective, or whether it will be withdrawn by the new President or superseded by Congressional action remains to be seen.
