Case Study: USCIS Redesigns Green Cards

The Card Players is a series of oil paintings by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. Painted during Cézanne's final period in the early 1890s, there are five paintings in

In the United States, citizens are very familiar and concerned about the topic of the Immigration Reform. Based on the research report from Senior Research Associate Pew Hispanic Center, Jeffrey S. Passel predicted around 11 million or more undocumented immigrants in the US in March 2005, which existed more than 6.5 million undocumented Mexicans, up to 57% of the total undocumented population and the Latin American countries are occupied by another 24%. (Passel, 2005) Furthermore, there are 9% in Asia, 6% of Canada and Europe, and the 4% rest for the others. (Passel, 2005) However, up to September 2006, there was nearly 13 million of the illegal immigrants but almost one-sixth of total, around 2.0 million undocumented

The 1962 Topps Baseball card set outdid the size of all previous Topps releases with an enormous offering of 598 cards. This sizable checklist, combined with a host of additional base card variations, makes it a challenging set for collectors to complete. The cards measure the standard 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches with most of them being laid out in a vertical orientation. The set is easily recognizable due to the distinct wood-grain styled background of the cards. The player image appears on what is designed to look like a poster, as you can see from the curling of the lower right corner of the player photo. The remaining portion of the background serves as an image border. The player's name, team affiliation and position are detailed under the curled

Although U.S immigration law has changed in the past four decades, family reunification remains the cornerstone priority. Of the 1.1 million persons who became legal permanent residents in 2010, two-thirds were immigrants with family ties in the Unites States(Beacon,2008). Only 15 percent of legal permanent residents admitted in 2010 were sponsored by U.S employer. The remaining 20 percent of green cards went to other groups, such as Green Card Diversity Lottery winners, refugees, and people receiving asylum who were eligible to become legal permanent residents, and others. Critics of the amendments maintain that the United States admits too many family based immigrants, who tend to be lower skilled and less educated(Bruno,2010). Two laws passed (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act)greatly limited the access of legal permanent residents to welfare benefits, made unauthorized migrants ineligible for most public benefits, and placed greater responsibility on sponsors to support family members. In particular, immigration policies enforcing financial support as a prerequisite for family sponsorship,

Immigration reform is one of the most controversial topic in the U.S. The Democrats and Republicans are having a tug of war over finding a solution to allowing illegal immigrants grant citizenship and allowing their families to stay in the this country. Just last month, President Obama had a televised executive decision talking about immigration reform. President Obama discussed how the executive decisions like providing legal status and work permits for more than 5 million immigrants, making the Republicans very reluctant to help support President Obama’s executive decision. In President Obama speech, he talks about how “today, our immigration system is broken, and everybody knows it. Families who enter our country the right way and play by the rules watch others flout the rules” (Washington Post). For President Obama, making this executive decision puts Congress in an unsettling place on either supporting this decision or backing out. So how would illegal immigrants help out the U.S when granted amnesty? Immigration laws have certainly resulted in a situation where many illegal immigrants live and work in the United States, but it is also an issue that has been fabricated by the media and Politicians. Illegal immigrants are a benefit to the U.S because they would help the economy, raise unemployment rates, and help students have a better education.

The federal government has failed to enact immigration reform and invest in infrastructure to restore the U.S. economy. More illegal immigrants are residing in the U.S., unlawfully crossing the border, and overstaying visas each year. The goal of American politics is equal treatment under the law. All persons that stand before the law are treated the same regardless of their race, religion, skin color, national origin, and even sexual identity. I think that the U.S. is ready for immigration reform because it’s become a matter of basic civil rights for the millions of people who are living in the U.S. illegally. Immigration laws encourage racial profiling by law enforcement. The problem for immigration is that the institutional design of the

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a proposed rule, on December 30, 2015, entitled "Retention of EB1, EB2, and EB3 Immigrant Workers and Program Improvements Affecting High-Skilled Nonimmigrant Workers." Included in the proposed rule is the long-awaited provision for the ability to obtain an employment authorization document (EAD) based on an approved form I-140, employer petition. Unfortunately, eligibility for this immigration benefit under the proposal is highly restrictive and therefore will aid a far narrower group of foreign national workers than had been hoped.

DoD has deployed an issuance infrastructure at over 930 sites in more than 25 countries around the world and is rolling out more than 1 million card readers and associated middleware. A key goal of the CAC program is to meet DoD’s mandate to sign all electronic mail and other electronic documents digitally. Future plans include using the CAC to sign and encrypt e-mail, expanding the number of portals capable of doing Web-based e-business using PKI authentication tools, adding a biometric to the card to provide

Immigration reform is a daily topic address in the American media, this issue is heavily debated. The 2016 Presidential candidates must address this issue and offer solid support of the Dream Act or clearly written counter plan to solve this issue. These candidates can not be passive they must take a stand somewhere. This is a complex issue at effects everyone in America in many different ways. These candidates must address what to do with 11million illegal immigrants that are currently living in the U.S, how to continue to improve the borders, how to streamline the visa and green card process, how to incorporate more immigrants into U.S to solve the future labor demands to

But the National Identification card will have some biometrics data like finger print, retinal Scan, iris scanning which people thinks that it would be hard to forge. "Using biometrics data such as fingerprints and retina scan can help in verifying that the card actually belongs to the cardholder"(Clement). More likely people are thinking about introducing the "smart card" which when swiped will show all the information like where you are and what you are doing while smart cards are among the most secure technologies available.

The United States Visitor and Immigration Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program was introduced on January 5th, 2004 at all air and sea ports of the United States of America. This program, as outlined by the Department of Homeland Security, aims to increase the level of security in the U.S. while allowing it to remain a multicultural land with people from all parts of the world. Specifically, the US-VISIT programs goals are to:

Though having a green card is supposed to ensure that each immigrant woman will remain in the country, the issue is much more complicated than that. Woman who enter into a marriage and are given a green card are here because of that marriage. The decision and desire to leave marriages because of discomfort, fear or abuse, may be hindered due to an even greater fear of deportation. For depend spouses here on H-4 visas, the aid afforded to American citizens is not offered to them (Balgamwalla, 2014) These women cannot work, and they are forced to rely on their husbands.

Mr. Mihai Suzagau called and said he wants to hire an attorney to help his wife to file a Green Card petition.

One of my personal challenges was applying for Green Card in the category of extraordinary ability (EB-1A) all by myself instead of hiring an immigrant attorney in 2012. As we know, the importance of Green Card is that it is the legal paper to stay in the US for every immigrant. My success at meeting the challenge could be the following key words: research, plan, serious, responsible, professional, focus and patience. Do some research on this topic first before making my own plan. Be serious and responsible for my plan. Focus on each requirement and prepare all the documents in a professional way. All I need at the end is the patience after I submit all the
