EB-5 Investor Visa: The EB-5 visa provides a method of obtaining a green card for foreign nationals who invest money in the United States.To obtain the visa, individuals must invest $1,000,000 (or at least $500,000 in a Targeted Employment Area - high unemployment or rural area), creating or preserving at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers excluding the investor and their immediate family.Initially, under the first EB-5 program, the foreign investor was required to create an entirely new commercial enterprise; however, under the Pilot Program investments can be made directly in a job-generating commercial enterprise (new, or existing - "Troubled Business"), or into a "Regional Center" - a 3rd party-managed investment vehicle (private or public), which assumes the responsibility of creating the requisite jobs. Regional Centers may charge an administration fee for managing the investor's investment. If the foreign national investor's petition is approved, the investor and their dependents will be granted conditional permanent residence valid for two years.Within the 90-day period before the conditional permanent residence expires, the investor must submit evidence documenting that the full required investment has been made and that 10 jobs have been maintained, or 10 jobs have been created or will be created within a reasonable time period.

WHAT IS THE REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE: H-1B REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE (RFE) - WHAT IT IS AND WHY DOES ONE ISSUE?  Receiving a Request-For-Evidence (RFE) during an H-1B visa petition or H-1B transfer or H-1B extension has become normal opposed to when it used to be a taboo prior to 2008 when the USCIS very rarely asked for more information. Today the RFE is more of a norm than an aberration.  These days the possibility of getting an RFE is 1 out of 3 cases and it is not really anything bad. It is only the USCIS wanting more information from the petitioner in order to make sure the petition for the Job being filed really exists and if the candidate really qualifies.  Some of the various types of queries in RFEs are as follows: (1) Various H-1B worksites; and (2) Level of Professional work available for H-1B workers; and (3) Financial stability of the H-1B employer; and (4) Whether the individual seeking H-1B status maintained their nonimmigrant visa status.

H1B1 Visa for Chileans and Singaporeans in a Specialty Occupation  In limited circumstances, H1B visa status can be extended beyond 6 years if: The foreign national is the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition. The foreign national is the beneficiary of a PERM petition or I-140 petition that was filed over 365 days ago. The foreign national is recapturing time spent outside the US during the past 6 years in H-1B status. 1 year extension Based on Pending PERM or I-140 petition under AC-21 104(a)  You may extend your H1B status annually in one-year increments if your PERM petition or I-140 petition was filed at least 365 days prior to the day when you reach the six-year limit. 3 year extension Based on Approved I-140 petition under AC-21 106(c)  You may extend your H1B status for 3 years if you are the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition but your priority date is not current, (immigrant visa number is not available to you).

The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H). It allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker must either apply for and be granted a change of status to another non-immigrant status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or leave the U.S. The regulations define a "specialty occupation" as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor [1] including but not limited to biotechnology, chemistry, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor's degree or its equivalent as a minimum [2] (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability"). [3] Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field. H-1B work-authorization is strictly limited to employment by the sponsoring employer. Basic Requirement to File H-1B Visa | Immigration Lawyers

Selecting the right entity for its operations is an important issue for every business and every lawyer who is called upon to help clients decide. Whether a corporation or a limited liability company (LLC) is the better choice is not always obvious. The selection involves numerous legal and tax issues and should involve the client's or employer's CPA. Lawyers must consider all the facts and alternatives and, above all, understand the client's objectives.  Fortunately, the choice-of-entity question does not have to be answered absolutely. The majority of closely-held businesses engage in more than one business activity, and it's possible to use a different entity for each.

Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act It is often the case when an applicant for a visa is told that a final decision cannot be made on his visa application immediately. In doing so, the consular officer invokes Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and informs the applicant that the case will be put on hold until the applicant's eligibility for the visa can be determined. This processing "time-out" is taken frequently: approximately more than 1,100,000 visa applications were subjected to 221(g) during 2012. Technically, 221(g) is considered a denial; in subsequent visa applications and registration in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, this must be disclosed. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of 221(g) denials are overcome and visas issued. CONSULAR HOLDS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING - 221(g).
