Dear Readers:

Immigration doesn’t take a break from being major news. In the past month, DHS released a proposed regulation that purports to cover the obscure subject of barring “public charges” from the US but would actually completely upend the US immigration system and impose the point system that the Trump Administration tried to negotiate unsuccessfully with Democrats last spring. And as I’m writing this, news has emerged that the US and Canada reached an agreement to continue NAFTA, putting to rest the question of whether NAFTA’s important immigration provisions will remain. Also, USCIS implemented the previously announced policy allowing the agency to issue Notices to Appear upon the denial of a benefit, something that has concerned many. Finally, USCIS is expected by year’s end to issue a proposed rule revoking work authorization for H-4 spouses.

This month we review many of these subjects and more.

And as always, we invite readers to contact us if they would like a consultation with one of our lawyers. Just go to https://www.visalaw.com/consultation.

 

Regards,

Greg Siskind
