HOW TO GET AN EB2 NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVER GREEN CARD Do you want a work permit in the United States? Did you know that there's an employment-based green card that doesn't require a job offer in the United States? It's called the EB2 National Interest Waiver visa. An employer can apply for you OR you can apply for it yourself. To be eligible, you must have EITHER An Advanced Degree OR Exceptional Ability in your field AND your business endeavor in the United States must meet these three criteria: 1. Your endeavor has substantial merit and national importance. 2. You are well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor; and 3. It is in the national interest of the United States to WAIVE the typical requirements of a job offer and labor certification.

THE E2 VISA IS A WIN-WIN FOR YOU AND THE USA Arguably the best visa for most foreign entrepreneurs and Americans is the E2 investor visa. The E2 visa allows foreign entrepreneurs to enter the United States by investing at least $100,000 in a startup enterprise or buying at least 50% of an existing business, and staying in the country to direct and develop its operations. This isn’t some visa where a foreign entrepreneur enters the United States and sets up a business that generates just enough revenue for him and his family to survive. On the contrary, the foreign entrepreneur must invest a substantial amount in the U.S. business. He or she needs to establish it, direct it, grow it, and hire Americans. I love working on E2 investor visa projects because I get to help foreign entrepreneurs achieve their American dream while helping Americans get hired and improving the economy overall. I think we need more E2 visa investors and investment. How about you?

5 WAYS TO LOSE YOUR GREEN CARD Number 1: Living Outside of the US for Too Long If you're a green card holder who decides to live outside of the US for more than a year, an officer of Customs and Border Protection (or CBP) can trigger processes to revoke your green card and deport you. This can happen after shorter absences from the U.S. as well, especially those that exceed 6 months. Fortunately, there's a simple solution. If you know that you're going to be out of the country for an extended period of time, apply for a Reentry Permit before departure. It's valid for two years. Number 2: Voluntarily Surrendering Your Green Card If you don't want to pay U.S. taxes or just don't want to be a permanent resident anymore, you can file a form I407 to voluntarily surrender your green card. But don't be pressured or tricked by a CBP officer into doing this if you don't want to. Insist on speaking with an immigration attorney and a hearing in front of a U.S. immigration judge, where you'll at least have an opportunity to fight for your green card and permanent resident status. Number 3: Being Convicted of a Crime If you're caught selling or using drugs or committing some sort of felony, you can lose your green card and be deported. Number 4: Commiting Fraud Fraud or willful misrepresentation can lead to loss of your green card and deportation, too. Fraud comes in many forms, such as marriage fraud, lying about your intent when applying for a nonimmigrant visa, or perhaps worst of all, posing as a U.S. citizen in order to cast a fraudulent vote in a U.S. election. Number 5: Failing to Remove Conditions on Permanent Residence If your green card is conditional and valid for only two years - such as if your green card was based on marriage that was less than two years old when you got it - you can lose it and be deported if you don't file a petition to remove those conditions during the 90-day period immediately before your conditional residence expires. #greencard #permanentresidency #immigration #immigrationlawyer #reentrypermit #fyp

Breaking News: Biden’s Migrant Crisis Costs American Taxpayers Almost Half a TRILLION Dollars Per Year President Joe Biden's migrant crisis at the southern border will cost U.S. taxpayers almost half a TRILLION dollars per year, according to a new report by the House Subcommittee on Homeland Security. The report details the immense financial costs of the unprecedented border crisis being borne by American taxpayers, including the costs for health care, shelter, education, and law enforcement, as well as costs forced on private property owners and businesses. According to the report, there are between 16.8 million and 29 million illegal migrants living in the United States, and the $31 billion in taxes they pay annually only partially offsets the staggering costs. As a U.S. immigration lawyer, I obviously support and facilitate legal immigration because, in most cases, it's a win-win. But this report shines some much-needed light on the costs of Biden's open-border policies at a time when most Americans want something to be done about it.
