*Employment Third Preference Other Workers Category:  Section 203(e) of the Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress in November 1997, as amended by Section 1(e) of Pub. L. 105-139, provides that once the Employment Third Preference Other Worker (EW) cut-off date has reached the priority date of the latest EW petition approved prior to November 19, 1997, the 10,000 EW numbers available for a fiscal year are to be reduced by up to 5,000 annually beginning in the following fiscal year. This reduction is to be made for as long as necessary to offset adjustments under the NACARA program. Since the EW final action date reached November 19, 1997 during Fiscal Year 2001, the reduction in the EW annual limit to 5,000 began in Fiscal Year 2002. For Fiscal Year 2022 this reduction will be limited to approximately 150.

EB-5投资移民新政策:资本投资两年后可全额收回,条件绿卡期间也可!

2023年10月11日,移民局就EB-5所需投资时间框架及与终止地区中心相关的投资者提供了额外指南。

在投资者的投资已满足创造就业要求的前提下,INA现在只要求投资必须预计将被投资至少两年。如果投资者在提交I-526或I-526E申请时投资已超过两年,按照新政策,投资者在提交相关申请之后,是可以收回其投资的。

基于婚姻的两年条件绿卡期间,外国人配偶可以离婚并自己申请去除条件吗?

在基于婚姻的两年条件绿卡期间离婚或婚姻无效后,条件绿卡持有人仍然有机会申请豁免共同申请去除条件要求、自己单独申请去除条件并获得永久绿卡。这个过程可能比较复杂,但并不是不可能的。重要的是,条件绿卡持有人能够根据自身情况提供充分的证据来证明其婚姻是真实、合法的,婚姻的终结或无效不是因为受益人的过错,或者是因为婚姻他方的家庭暴力导致的。
