Case Study: USCIS

Our client is a scientific researcher at Florida University and holds an H1b visa. He hired us to help his extension of H1b and to submit his employment immigration application. After attorney Zhou carefully reviewed his case, she decided to file EB2 national interested waiver. The waiver was granted. Since he already holds an H1b visa, he has been working for the same employer while waiting for priority date of his approved national interested waiver. The client finally received his greencard in April 2015. We now work on the greencard application for his wife and his daughter who are citizens of Canada.

The continuous battle between Hamilton’s Federalists and Jefferson’s Democratic-Republicans did not stop after Washington’s warnings in 1796. The debate between the balance of Order and Liberty was a very large topic during the four year period of 1796 to 1800. John Adams, a Federalist, became President in 1796 after defeating Thomas Jefferson in a close poll. Adams was much more openly aligned with the Federalists than Washington was and he wanted to keep Federalist leaders in power as long as he could, even after his administration. To ensure this, Adams passed the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798. The Alien act changed the number of years a foreigner had to live in America before they could vote from five years to fourteen. This benefited

Globally, the United States has been known as "a nation of immigrants" almost from its inception. Beginning in the 1600s with English Puritans and continuing today, America is a melting pot of culture and ethnicity. In fact, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, immigration was the major source of U.S. population growth. Looking over our 200+ years we find that to clearly be true, with approximately 1 million immigrants coming to America during the 17th and 18th century. Almost 3 million arrived during the 1860s, and another 3 million in the 1870s. In the next four decades, the number of immigrants rose to over 25 million people, most from various European nations, most arriving in New York or one of the Eastern seaports (Damon, 1981). Despite the politicization, as of 2006, the United States actually was the number one country globally to accept legal immigrants into the country, with a current immigrant population of almost 40 million (Terrazas and Batalova, 2009). In fact, the peak of immigration was 1907, when over 1.2 million Europeans entered the country beginning a push towards legislation limiting immigration in the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1924 and the 1921 Congressional Quota Act. These immigrants came for two sociological reasons: the push factor (wars, famine, persecution and overpopulation) and the pull factors (jobs and the promise of freedom). Most came by ship, and a passage often cost the equivalent of an entire life's savings causing many

This paper explores the career of an immigration lawyer. It goes through the different possibilities within the career, and the different opportunities to choose from. This paper examines the different areas in which an immigration lawyer can focus on; not only does it explore the options for a lawyer but also gives brief descriptions of the EOIR, USCIS, BIA, and ICE which are different areas of immigration in which an immigration lawyer has to work with or against to help whomever they are representing. The EOIR stands for Executive Office of Immigration review; USCIS is United States Citizenship and Immigration Services; BIA is Board of Immigration Appeals; and ICE is Immigrations and Customs Enforcements. It also briefly describes the necessary requirements for becoming a lawyer, and more information regarding the desired career. Along with information about the various possibilities within the career, it will also explain a brief outline of the history of immigration and how the career option came about.

Just as the various other bureaucratic agencies within the United States government serve specific purposes, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, does as well. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whose headquarters is in Washington, D.C., was formed in 2003, the result of a merger between the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service. ICE has many sub-departments dedicated to immigration control, smuggling and trafficking investigation, and terrorism

During Shakespeare's time power is something that everyone wanted. They would do anything to make sure they come into power. Power can corrupt anyone who is seeking it. They crave the thrill of power. Having power to dictate everyone is something that can lead to a down fall.

ICE stands for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they deal with matters concerning border control, customs, trade and immigration to insure public safety and homeland security. Their priorities focus on preventing terrorism and the illegal movement of items, as well as people. Within ICE, there are three subgroups that fall into specialized tasks for the agency, such as Homeland security investigations (HSI) and the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). Although being a fairly new agency there has been more than a few controversies on how ICE handles the illegal immigrants, however, since 9/11 the U.S has been trying to find the most effective ways to stop terrorism. So, that also means that not everyone would agree with the tactics that ICE used to solve the problem for those specific cases.

The process of immigrating to the U.S. involves more than one pathway and extensive requirements.

The craft-brewing segment of the beer industry has experience fluctuations in demand from a high of 58% growth in 1995 to a decline of 5% annually from 1997 to 2003 (Gilinksy et al., 2014, p. C-92). However, it is now experiencing rapid growth. At the commencement of 2012, 6.5% of U.S. beer sales were generated by craft brewers and that number increased by 15% by the conclusion of the year (Gilinksy et al., 2014, p. C-92). The growth of the market presents LBC with an opportunity to generate additional revenue.

Did you ever think about where your drinking water comes from? The water that we drink was initially sea water that has undergone a scientific process called desalination. Desalination is a chemical process in which natural compounds are separated from water, making the water clean and drinkable. Traditionally, sea water is propelled through hydraulic pumps which create a flow to separate the water from the sea salt. Hydraulic pumps require certain chemicals that are harmful to humans and these chemicals sometimes are cross-contaminated in the drinking water being produced. Personally, I don’t want to drink chemicals that are threatening to my life and that cause harm to the environment. Many
