USCIS announces the beginning of “eProcessing”
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has recently announced that it will begin “eProcessing” cases. The official announcement states that “eProcessing will be a complete digital experience, from applying for a benefit, to communicating with USCIS, through receiving a decision on a case.” The hope is that this new system will “improve decision timeliness, increase transparency during the application process, and accelerate the availability of online filing for all immigration benefits.”
Immigration Forms Update: USCIS Publishes Revised Form I-539

Are you ready for H-1b season?
Employers growing their business need the best talent, and sometimes that talent needs a visa. The 2018 H-1b season was brutal - USCIS applied unprecedented levels of scrutiny and issued burdensome Requests for Evidence. The stop on premium processing and extraordinary processing delays left businesses and applicants in an often untenable limbo. Some applications are still pending.
Make it your 2019 resolution to become a U.S. citizen!
If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), now is the time to take that next step to become a U.S. citizen.
Our government is targeting immigrants in the U.S., even lawful permanent residents. It has become challenging for permanent residents to reenter the U.S. after foreign travel - many of our clients tell us that they have been interrogated for hours at the airport in “secondary inspection” and their phones taken and searched. Others are concerned about being (wrongfully) placed into deportation proceedings due to a minor criminal conviction in their past.
