     Existem diversos tipos de vistos que permitem que você venha para os Estados Unidos e trabalhe. Vistos baseados em emprego lhe darão a oportunidade de viver e trabalhar nos EUA. Sua educação, habilidades e experiência são alguns dos fatores usados para determinar quem é elegível para um visto baseado em emprego. Um visto "EB" para o qual muitas pessoas se qualificam é o visto EB-3.

     O Visto EB-3 é um visto baseado em emprego que lhe proporcionará um Green Card, ou seja, a capacidade de viver e trabalhar permanentemente nos Estados Unidos. Existem três categorias distintas de EB-3, todas elas precisando passar pelo processo de certificação de trabalho, e é necessário ter uma oferta de emprego permanente em tempo integral. As três categorias são:

     Trabalhador Qualificado EB-3 - Você deve comprovar que possui pelo menos dois anos de experiência profissional ou treinamento e executar um trabalho para o qual não há trabalhadores qualificados disponíveis nos EUA.

     Profissional EB-3 - Você deve comprovar que possui um diploma de bacharel dos EUA ou um diploma equivalente na área de trabalho e deve realizar um trabalho para o qual não há trabalhadores qualificados disponíveis nos EUA.

     Trabalhador Não Qualificado EB-3 - Você deve comprovar ser capaz de executar trabalho não qualificado que não seja temporário (ou sazonal), para o qual não há trabalhadores qualificados disponíveis nos EUA.

     Como mencionado, você precisará de uma oferta de emprego em tempo integral, e seu empregador terá que obter um PERM/Certificação de Trabalho do Departamento de Trabalho dos EUA. Após ser aprovado nesta primeira etapa, que geralmente leva cerca de um ano, os empregadores devem apresentar o Formulário I-140 ao USCIS, o que leva, em média, seis meses.

     Finalmente, quando o USCIS aprova o I-140, você, o estrangeiro, pode solicitar um visto de imigrante ou ajuste de status e obter o seu Green Card, o que levará mais seis meses, totalizando uma média de dois anos para a conclusão do processo EB-3.

The U.S. Constitution protects all immigrants, including undocumented immigrants while participating in protests in the U.S. Here is a list of some of the rights covered in the U.S. constitution to consider when you are participating in protests: Right to free speech. The First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting your right to free speech. People have the right to participate in protests, marches, and demonstrations. Right to be free from retaliation. The First Amendment prohibits the government from retaliating against you for exercising your rights such as your right to free speech. Right to remain silent. The Fifth Amendment protects you from self-incrimination and provides the right to remain silent. Right against unreasonable search and seizure. The Fourth Amendment protects you against unreasonable searches and seizures. Right to speak to a lawyer. If you are arrested or detained, you have the right to speak to a lawyer.

The latest policy alert, PA-2024-05, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on March 21, 2024, brings revisions to the USCIS Policy Manual, specifically focusing on expediting requests. These updates aim to simplify and elucidate the process for applicants, particularly those facing emergencies or urgent humanitarian needs. The primary goal is to make it easier for applicants to understand how to request expedited processing for their various submissions, including applications, petitions, appeals, or motions, especially in cases concerning government interests or urgent situations. While USCIS has historically permitted immigration benefit seekers to request expedited application processing in specific circumstances, the process has frequently been perceived as unclear, with decisions made arbitrarily on a case-by-case basis. The recent update seeks to rectify this by providing clarity and uniformity to the process and establishing explicit criteria and documentation standards. In order to request expedited processing, applicants need to adhere to a more defined procedure. This involves submitting thorough documentation and illustrating the urgency or government relevance of their case. The recent update also explains how USCIS reviews these requests, offering applicants a better grasp of the process. The update introduces special measures for speeding up the processing of Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) in emergency situations. This acknowledges the urgent need for certain applicants to travel. The policy also acknowledges that expedited requests may be evaluated if there is evident USCIS error, aiming to uphold fairness and accountability within the processing system. These changes aim to make the expedited request process more transparent and understandable for applicants and their representatives. In summary, USCIS's revision regarding expedited requests signifies a notable advancement in rendering the immigration process more transparent and attentive to applicants' requirements. By comprehending these updated guidelines, applicants and their representatives can more effectively navigate the expedited request procedure, ensuring that urgent cases receive due consideration. If you believe you qualify for expedited processing under the recent USCIS policy updates, feel free to contact our office, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

As of April 1, 2024, USCIS has instituted an inflation adjustment to immigration application filing fees . These fee increases apply to a majority of the different application types, including family-based, non-immigrant, and immigrant petitions. As a part of these fee increases, USCIS has also instituted a new program designed to provide funding to the United States’ Asylum Program, in order to better address the massive backlog of pending asylum claims currently waiting to be adjudicated. Unfortunately, these changes have led to confusion among petitioners for when they are required to pay the Asylum Program Fee, and when they may qualify for a 50% or complete exemption from the fee. The Asylum Program Fee is required to be submitted by employers in all I-129 and I-140 petitions filed on or after April 1, 2024. The Asylum Program Fee is $600, however, certain exemptions apply . Small employers , defined as having 25 or fewer total employees, qualify for a reduction of the Asylum Program Fee, but are still required to submit a reduced fee of $300. Individual petitioners, or self-petitions, such as in the case of an EB-2 National Interest Waiver, are considered small employers for the purpose of the Asylum Program Fee and are also required to submit the reduced $300 fee. Non-profit organizations are exempted from the Asylum Program fee and are not required to submit any additional funds with the ordinary I-129 or I-140 filing fee. In addition, non-profits qualify for a 50% reduction of the ordinary filing fee in certain types of applications, bringing the overall filing fee burden down substantially for non-profit organizations. With these changes to USCIS’ filing fee schedule, USCIS is hoping for significant improvements to efficiency and processing for pending asylum applicants. If you or your petitioning organization need any assistance in preparing an application for an immigration benefit, including ensuring proper compliance with the new fee requirements, our office is ready and waiting to help!
