<p>There are at least 11 million folks in the U.S. who are more than a little curious whether immigration reform and a legalization program will ever become law.  With legislators in Congress “marking up” proposals and negotiating the details of a new law, we will no doubt have a better sense of the viability and substance of an eventual measure in the coming months.  Samantala, undocumented childhood arrivals qualifying for 2 year work permits under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (&quot;KUNG&quot;) program continue to receive approvals.</p>
<p>Tulad ng Marso 31, 2013, higit sa 488,000 Ipinagpaliban Aksyon para sa pagdating ng Childhood (&quot;KUNG&quot;) application ay natanggap ng U.S. Department of Homeland Security. DACA applicants are also known as “DREAMERS” since they make up the demographic that would presumably benefit from previously proposed legislation known as the DREAM Act – i.e. batang matanda ang nagdala sa U.S. ng mga bata at na nanatili sa US, sa pamamagitan ng walang kasalanan ng kanilang sariling, para sa isang pinalawig na tagal ng panahon.  Ang karamihan ng mga aplikante sa DACA ay naka-iskedyul para sa, o nakumpleto, kanilang biometric fingerprinting proseso.  Mahalaga, sa puntong ito, higit sa 268,000 aplikante ay naaprubahan at ibinigay 2 taon na ipinagpaliban pagkilos katayuan notice at 2 taon trabaho awtorisasyon dokumento (EAD).  Ay pare-pareho sa development aming opisina ay nakita na may 'application ng aming mga kliyente ang mga numero at milestones, sa mga kliyente sa pagtanggap ng mga pag-apruba at EAD sa loob 8 weeks of filing in most cases.</p>
<p>Karaniwan, aming opisina ay nakikita pagpoproseso beses hanay mula sa 60 araw upang 150 araw, bagaman tulad ng iba pang mga application ay natanggap sa pamamagitan ng DHS, isang pinalawak na frame ng oras ng pagpoproseso ay maaaring inaasahan.  Pa, sa lawak ang background ng aplikante ay maaaring magsama ng isang complicating kadahilanan, tulad ng isang kriminal na pagdakip o nakabinbing pag-alis paglilitis, application pagpoproseso ay maaaring maging isang bit mas mabagal.   Bilang karagdagan, sa US. Department of Homeland Security recently announced that the scheduling of interviews at local CIS offices for certain applicants in the coming month.  Karaniwan, interviews will be scheduled for randomly chosen applicants, as well as for applicants whose cases involve factors possibly impacting eligibility.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nai-publish:  Abril 15, 2013</strong></p>
<p>Ang isang draft ng ipinanukalang mga batas ng imigrasyon reporma ay inilabas sa pamamagitan ng mga Gang ng 8, ng dalawang partido na grupo ng mga U.S. Senators na ni-sinusubukang i-style ng pambatasan solusyon sa kasalukuyang ating lipunan ng imigrasyon kaugnay ills.  Ang mga detalye na nakapaloob sa bill ay maaaring o hindi maaaring maging mas ng kaugnayan para sa sandaling ito dahil A) ang panukala ay HINDI batas pa at B) ang aktwal na lehislasyon naka-sign sa batas, kung at kapag nangyari iyon, may very well bear little resemblance to the draft bill released to the public this week.</p>
<p>Karaniwan, pinaka-maaasahan ng anumang mga bagong batas upang isama, sa isang form o isa pang, isang path sa legalisasyon o pagkamamamayan, ang mga pagbabayad ng isang mabigat fine para sa &quot;landas&quot; aplikante &quot;, isang pinalawak na supply ng visa trabaho, at pinahusay na seguridad hangganan.  Para sa path sa legalisasyon aspeto, Disyembre 31, 2011 ay itinalaga bilang ang magic pisikal na presensiya petsa, bago na mga aplikante ay dapat na dumating sa US. upang maging karapat-dapat.  Subalit muli, ito ay lamang ng isang panukala!</p>
<p>Para sa mga debate na ay na dumating, dalawang sa mga pinakamalaking mga katanungan publiko ang maaaring asahan upang ma-tossed sa paligid, at sa pinaka-pampulitika ng mga paraan, ay:  Ay panukala ito ng isang &quot;indulto&quot;?  Ano ang magiging isang &quot;secure na border&quot; ibig sabihin sa ilalim ng bagong batas?  Bilang sa ang unang tanong, ang mahirap na core kabilang sa mga Republican lawmakers Matindi ang hindi pagsang-ayon sa anumang panukala na nagsasangkot ng isang indulto o isang excusing ng labag sa batas na pag-uugali ..... o hindi bababa sa hindi hanggang sa &quot;namin ang siguridad ng aming mga hangganan&quot;.  Ngunit sabihin harapin ito, kung magkakaroon ng path sa legalisasyon para sa mga indibidwal ipakita sa US. walang legal na katayuan, ito ay may kasangkot, sa pamamagitan ng kahulugan, isang excusing ng labag sa batas na pag-uugali - bagaman aplikante ay malamang na kailangang magbayad ng pera ng mga masasarap at sumunod sa iba pang mga kinakailangan.  Kaya, isang dulong kanan mambabatas ay maaaring hindi magagawang upang maiwasan ang pagiging makikita bilang isang natalo sa dulo, if they continue to insist that “amnesty” can play no role whatsoever in any new immigration initiative.</p>
<p>Kung ang isang path sa legalisasyon, o amnestya, ay condition sa pagkakaroon ng &quot;secure na border&quot; sa lugar, isa kababalaghan kung ano ay gumawa ng lugar sa order para sa hangganan ang maisaalang-alang &quot;ligtas na&quot;.  Tiyak, para sa isang mambabatas na naghahanap upang makagawa ng isang pangalan para sa kanya o sarili, hindi ito magiging masyadong mahirap upang panatilihing upping ang mga kinakailangan na binubuo ng isang &quot;secure na hangganan&quot;, and thus find a pretext to put a wrench into any draft proposal.</p>
<p>Sa katapusan, ito ay lilitaw doon ay halos walang isa sa Kongreso na naniniwala ang mga solusyon sa mga problema ng mga undocumented ay upang subukan upang mapatapon 11 milyong tao.  Ito ay lamang ng isang bagay ng kung, at kapag, may sapat na mga pulitiko sa Kongreso na magkaroon ng pampulitikang takip upang suportahan ang kung ano ay magdagdag ng hanggang sa, para sa lahat ng mga layunin at mga layunin, an amnesty.</p>

<p>Ang pamamahagi ng 85,000 &quot;Cap paksa&quot; H-1B work visa para sa piskal na taon 2014, na tumatakbo mula sa Oktubre 1, 2013 sa pamamagitan ng Septiyembre 30, 2014, ay naubos sa loob ng unang linggo application ay tinanggap sa pamamagitan ng Citizenship at Immigration Services (CIS). Gamit ang employer pinapayagan na isumite ang kanilang pinagtabasan hanggang sa 6 months in advance of the start of the fiscal year, CIS reported that between April 1, 2013 and April 4, 2013, higit sa 124,000 filing were received.   A lottery was held in the week that followed to determine which of the 124,000 would be considered for the 85,000 spots.</p>
<p>Given the state of affairs, it would be reasonable to expect to see an expanded annual supply of H-1B’s incorporated as part of any new, comprehensive immigration reform bill.</p>

<p>Para sa nakalipas na dalawang dekada bilang isang pagsasanay abugado sa imigrasyon, Ako dumating upang maging isang mag-aaral ng lahat ng bagay immigration batas &#8211; ang aktwal na mga batas, ang paraan ng mga batas ay inilalapat, ang mindset ng malakas na desisyon-makers sino mang-ulo sa paglipas ng imigrasyon o deportasyon paglilitis, the psychological/sociological state of the wide spectrum of immigrant groups I represent, at siyempre, the politics.  About today&#8217;s politics I know this - the significant losses sustained by Republican candidates in our most recent elections, including Mitt Romney, are in large part attributed to the views they espoused when it came to immigration.   Whether it be &#8220;kick em all out&#8221; promises, o &#8220;they will leave by attrition&#8221; observations, their message &#8211; right or wrong &#8211; did not resonate with enough of our population to get them into, or keep them in, office.  Now comes the Gang of 8, ng dalawang partido na grupo ng mga U.S. Senators who over this past weekend proclaimed to have reached agreement on a major framework to address our nation&#8217;s immigration problem, including border security, a practical work visa program and of course, a path to legalization for our nation’s 12 million undocumented.  Ngayon, it’s up to legislators in both houses of Congress to write the legislation, debate it, and present something acceptable to the President to sign.  It is hoped that this last step will be reached by Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Between Points A and B:  In the months ahead I can assure you our nation will witness more of the same political drama and hyperbole we have grown accustomed to when an Obama backed legislative initiative is being advanced i.e. for a Republican politician to show their true Republican <i>bona fides</i>, they must, walang kataliwasan, oppose any measure advanced by the President, no matter how much sense it might make.  Why?  Because &#8211; per the tea party leaning mantra &#8211; if it’s being pushed by Obama, the initiative must be evil and defeated.  Consistent with this principle, many of our nation’s major Republican players, and especially wannabe players, will exhibit noteworthy levels of posing, backpedaling, kicking, and yelling as the legislative process moves toward actually getting a proposal to the President.</p>
<p>The main backpedaling will come from folks like Marco Rubio, who are straddling an uncomfortable fence position.  On the one hand, they do not want to be left on the outside of any bandwagon seen as sensibly addressing our nation&#8217;s important and future immigrant causes, such as a path to legalization for the undocumented.  And it was that appearance of “outsider-ness” that was left for the Republicans after their stinging string of defeats last November.  Sa kabilang dako, lots of these Republican folks still have significant tea party leaning constituencies, who want their candidate to kick and scream in the face of any proposal to reward the immigration law breakers with an immigration law benefit.  This demographic’s anti-“path to legalization” fury is further fueled by their perception that if it were not for these immigration law breakers, our nation&#8217;s unemployment problem would not be nearly as bad as it is, since, as the argument goes, these undocumented foreigners, in large numbers, are taking away jobs Americans would otherwise fill.</p>
<p>While we wait for this process – and accompanying drama &#8211; to unfold, those who might prospectively benefit from &#8221;path sa legalisasyon&#8221; legislation should prepare themselves:  Although a law to allow the undocumented to legalize their immigration status is far from a certainty, the chances of enactment are as good as I have seen since before 9/11.  If and when a law gets passed, I envision applicants to be required to produce evidence of their presence in the U.S., however long any prospective law may specify.  Nang naaalinsunod, now is an ideal time for prospective applicants to start creating a hard copy file of records of their financial, educational, employment and medical treatment history in the U.S., including bank account statements, school transcripts, receipts, leases, perang papel, buwis babalik, medical records, and even, as a last resort, print-outs of Facebook or other internet activity.  I am not saying all of this will necessarily be useful or needed for any future legalization process, just that it may be.   What I do know for sure, there will be lots of kicking, screaming and posing between Points A and B.</p>

<p>Bilang ng Pebrero 19, 2013, higit sa 438,000 Ipinagpaliban Aksyon para sa pagdating ng Childhood (&quot;KUNG&quot;) application ay natanggap ng U.S. Department of Homeland Security. DACA applicants are also known as “DREAMERS” since they make up the demographic that would presumably benefit from previously proposed legislation known as the DREAM Act – i.e. batang matanda ang nagdala sa U.S. ng mga bata at na nanatili sa US, sa pamamagitan ng walang kasalanan ng kanilang sariling, para sa isang pinalawig na tagal ng panahon. Ang karamihan ng mga aplikante sa DACA ay naka-iskedyul para sa, o nakumpleto, kanilang biometric fingerprinting proseso. Mahalaga, sa puntong ito, close to 200,000 aplikante ay naaprubahan at ibinigay 2 taon na ipinagpaliban pagkilos katayuan notice at 2 taon trabaho awtorisasyon dokumento (EAD).

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nai-publish:  Pebrero 11, 2013</strong></p>
<p>Sa katapusan ng tag-araw, kung hindi mas maaga, ito ay lubos na posibleng Kongreso ay kumikilos upang magbigay ng mga undocumented indibidwal isang avenue patungo sa legalizing ang kanilang katayuan sa US.  Eksakto kung ano ang mga tuntunin o kinakailangan ng batas tulad ay, o kung para sa ilang isang sukatan ay pagsasabatas sa lahat, Hindi kilala.  Pero, kung magkakaroon ng bagong batas, ito ay katiyakan, di-abugado, &#8220;immigration consultant&#8221; ay popping up sa buong lugar upang magbigay ng &#8220;serbisyo&#8221; sa pagtulong sa mga dayuhan na makipag-ayos ang proseso Kongreso lays.   </p>
<p>Immigration consultant sumingil ng bayad upang sagutin ang mga katanungan, kumpletuhin ang form at kung hindi man ay payuhan ang mga dayuhan sa kanilang mga karapatan at ang tamang paraan upang makumpleto ito o na pamamaraan.  Ang problema ay na para sa karamihan ng kung ano ang consultant diwa gawin, consultant ay malamang na paglabag sa batas.  Mas partikular, lamang ang mga abogado ay lisensiyado upang magbigay ng legal na payo at gabay indibidwal sa pamamagitan ng isang partikular na legal na proseso.  At kapag consultant simulan tumatawid sa linya sa pagitan ng pagkumpleto ng isang form at pagbibigay ng legal na payo, trouble invariably ensues.</p>
<p>Pagsasalita kung saan, isang Chicago area &#8220;immigration consultant&#8221; sa mga balita mga araw na ito ay Teresita Zarrabian.  Zarrabian, isang hindi-abogado, ay nagpapatakbo ng isang immigration pagkonsulta sa labas ng hilagang Suburbs ng Chicago para sa higit pa kaysa sa nakaraang dekada, at mula sa kung ano ko na nakita, matapos ang hindi mabilang na numero ng kanyang mga kliyente sa imigrasyon mainit na tubig dahil sa kanyang &#8220;akay&#8221; o &quot;pagkonsulta&quot; na mga serbisyo.  Mukhang pindutin ang kanyang negosyo plan isang pangunahing road block ang nakaraang linggo na ito, gayunman, ng isang pederal enggrandeng hurado sa Chicago ipinasa ng demanda laban sa Zarrabian at isang kasapakat.  Demanda ang naniningil Zarrabian ng pinaghihinalaang conspiring upang ayusin ang mga marriages kunuwari para sa layunin ng conferring ayon sa batas ng US. katayuan ng imigrasyon sa kanyang kliyente, ilan na binayaran Zarrabian sa pagitan ng $8,000 at $15,000. </p>
<p>Ako sinulat ni tungkol sa Zarrabian at ang kanyang &#8220;pagkonsulta negosyo&#8221; maraming taon na ang nakakaraan sa Forum, sa isang artikulo na pinamagatang, &#8220;Ang mga Misadventures ng isang Skokie Immigration Consultant&#8221;.  Mula noong panahon na iyon, Napanood ko ang tilapon kanyang modelo ng negosyo ay kinuha, at mga balita ng demanda sa linggong ito ay bilang walang sorpresa.  Kung nahatulan, Sa Zarrabian at kanyang kasapakat mukha makabuluhang oras bilangguan, malamang sa hanay ng mga 5-15 taon.    </p>
<p>Pagsasalita ng oras ng bilangguan, Rana ng Tahawwur na lamang nakaraang buwan ay sentenced sa isa pang Chicago area immigration consultant sa balita kamakailan 14 taon sa bilangguan.  Rana, isang pinaghihinalaang terorista, ay nahatulan sa 2011 para sa pagbibigay ng suporta sa pangkat na dinala ang 2008 Mumbai terorista patayan na pinatay 160 people and for backing the unhatched plot to attack a Danish newspaper that featured cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.</p>
<p>This is not to say that there are not well intended folks out there who honestly want to assist foreign nationals in completing a form, or providing some non-attorney service.  The problem is that most of those in this business (and it is a business, to be sure) are not well intended.  And problems comes into play when that “consultant” has to answer questions about the ramifications of a particular filing, or the down side of proceeding with a filing, as the answer to questions like these involve legal advice &#8211; advice non-attorneys are prohibited from providing. </p>
<p>Immigration consultants, or notarios (as they are known in some Spanish speaking communities), have no official certification to prepare immigration-related documentation or to dispense advice.  If something goes wrong, there is no license for them to lose.  And only if the victimized party is brave enough to approach the police and lodge a fraud or “unauthorized practice of law” charge will the offending party face any consequences for their actions.</p>
<p>When immigration consultants give the wrong advice, sell a fantasy story or just plain take their victim’s money without advice or a story, the undocumented (or visa overstay) victim usually is afraid to complain.  They do not want to complain to their family, probably because they are embarrassed about having been swindled. And for sure, they do not want to complain to the police since, in their mind, any law enforcement agency learning of their illegal alien status will certainly see to it they are deported.</p>
<p>While attorneys can lose their licenses, and consequently their means of making a living, immigration consultants cannot.  The State of Illinois’ Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission can strip an attorney of their right to call themselves an attorney, and practice law.  No parallel agency exists to regulate immigration consultants, but for a local police department or Federal criminal autorities.  Therefore the immigration consultant does not have, and does not need a license.  And because their victim would sooner jump off a 20-story building before reporting the fraud perpetrated, the immigration consultant has no fear.</p>
<p>Here is my advice.  When dealing with an immigration law matter, schedule a confidential consultation with a licensed attorney who has a reputation for honesty and zealous advocacy and who focuses on immigration matters only.  To be sure, there are many lawyers to choose from, but the prospective client must engage in careful due diligence in making their choice, since most of those who hold themselves out as experts in the field of immigration law are anything but.  Mula doon, you may not even end up having to hire the attorney &#8211; either because the attorney advises against you facilitating a process, or because the process may be so simple that the preparation or filing of the paperwork can be accomplished without attorney assistance.  If the attorney’s opinion sounds far afield, humingi ng isang pangalawang opinyon, especially if large sums of money are being requested.  Sa karamihan, be careful out there.</p>

<p>Sa kamakailang mga linggo, Estado ng Illinois pumasa lehislasyon upang payagan ang populasyon ng estado ng humigit-kumulang 250,000 undocumented driver upang makakuha ng lisensya sa pagmamaneho.  Ang kuwenta, na kung saan ay inaasahan na nilagdaan ng Gobernador Quinn, ay gumawa ng Illinois ang ika-4 na estado sa U.S. to issue driver&#8217;s licenses to undocumented immigrants.  The drivers licenses issued under this program confer no right or status, beyond authorizing the holder the right to drive.</p>
<p>The debate surrounding driver&#8217;s licenses for the undocumented pretty much mirrors the national debate over how our nation should address the overall issue of having 12 million people living in our nation without immigration status.  Because there is no perfect solution to either problem and both sides of the argument express valid points, the ensuing conversations &#8211; if you can call them that -tend to get more than slightly heated.  Kahit na mas masahol pa, the debate on these topics establishes fertile ground for politicians to rally their constituencies with enflamed emotions, leading to less common sense dialogue and more lecturing and talking/shouting at one another.  Ang &#8220;law and order&#8221; folks (not intended to be an insult here) make more than valid points when they talk about the importance of respecting the rule of law, and how rewarding law breakers with goodies like driver&#8217;s licenses or green cards is a slap in the face to the legislative process and the citizens who voted in representatives to enact legislation.</p>
<p>But the folks on the other side of the debate also have it right.  That these undocumented folks are going to remain in the U.S., or drive in Illinois, until and unless they are deported, is an undeniable reality.  For more than the past two decades, successive administrations, both Republican and Democrat, have essentially &#8220;looked the other way&#8221; when it comes to enforcement of our immigration laws against the garden variety, noncriminal, immigration law breaker.  The result is the accumulation of an undocumented population in the U.S. ng 12 milyon +.  And no matter how strong the talk from the law and order folks, the vast majority of them do not have it in their hearts to advocate for a mass deportation initiative &#8211; the only true, effective remedy to the problem the law and order folks cite.</p>
<p>Kaya, in other words, the undocumented population, including Illinois&#8217; drivers, are not going anywhere unless forced to, especially as the winds of change are in motion with the enactment of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and serious talk of a &#8220;path sa legalisasyon&#8221; for most of our undocumented from both sides of the aisle.</p>
<p>Drivers licenses for the undocumented, like a path to legalization, is an answer, and the right answer, to the undeniable societal condition we all know is at play, that the nation’s non-criminal, undocumented population is here to stay – until and unless they are moved out by force.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nai-publish:  Enero 3, 2013</strong></p>
<p>Sa Marso 30, 2012, US Department of Homeland Security / Citizenship at Immigration Services unang inihayag nito plano upang ipatupad ang isang &quot;ng Estados Unidos&quot; I-601 Pagsusuko programa, isang inisyatiba para sa pagproseso ng &quot;pagwawaksi ng kawalan ng pagkatanggap&quot; para sa ilang mga aplikante para sa permanenteng paninirahan kung sino sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang batas, are ineligible to undergo final green card processing in the U.S.  Under the current system such individuals must leave the US for an extended period for their final green card/ interview, at lilitaw bago ang isang opisyal ng US konsulado sa kanilang sariling bansa.  With the new stateside waiver program, gayunman, sa halip na nakaharap sa isang 3 buwan o kaya maghintay upang makatanggap ng desisyon sa kanilang pagsusuko application habang sa labas ng US, applicants will only need to wait as little as a few days or week outside the US, dahil ang 3 months of processing will now take place before the applicant’s departure.  With the most recent announcement, this program is set to take effect starting March 4, 2013.</p>
<p>Sino ang benepisyo mula sa bagong programa na ito?  Sa ilang mga eksepsiyon, ang karamihan ng mga aplikante ay asawa ng US. citizens who have been present unlawfully in the U.S. for an extended period after previously entering the U.S. without being inspected/without a visa.  Unless they are covered under INA Section 245(sa) (isa pang talakayan), these applicants are unable to &#8220;isaayos&#8221; their status and undergo all immigrant processing in the U.S. <strong> This class of applicants is to be distinguished from those who merely overstayed their nonimmigrant visas (excluding crewman and K-1 entrants), at patuloy na maging karapat-dapat upang ayusin ang katayuan sa US. kung sila asawa ng U.S. mamamayan, notwithstanding their having overstayed their visa status or engaged in unauthorized employment.</strong></p>
<p>Ano ang mga eksaktong Pinoproseso ang &#8220;ng Estados Unidos&#8221; kumpara sa. sa U.S. konsulado post sa labas ng US?  It&#8217;s an I-601 Waiver Application to excuse an applicant&#8217;s period of 6+ buwan ng labag sa batas na presensya sa US, at ang kahihinatnang 3 o 10 year bars to reentering the U.S.    An I-601 application is approved only if the applicant can demonstrate that his denied reentry will pose extreme and unusual hardship for his U.S. mamamayan o permanenteng residente, asawa o magulang. Talaga, walang garantiya ang lahat ng mga aplikante para sa isang pagsusuko ay naaprubahan sa ilalim ng programa, ngunit ito bagong pamamaraan ay hindi pagdudahan ng mahusay na ginhawa sa mga pamilya sa pamamagitan ng pagpapaalam sa mga ito maagang ng panahon kung ang pangunahing balakid (3 o 10 taon bar) sa muling pagpasok ng kanilang mga mahal sa isa ay inalis - at ulitin, bago ang aplikante ay umalis sa US para sa kanilang pakikipanayam sa kanilang sariling bansa.  Kaya, kung ang pagsusuko ng application ang aplikante ay tinanggihan, desisyon na kilala bago maganap ang anumang paglalakbay sa labas ng US. Aplikante ay alam doon tunay ay walang dahilan para sa mga aplikante na lumitaw para sa kanilang pakikipanayam bago ang isang opisyal ng US konsulado sa kanilang sariling bansa, since he will know he will indeed be subject to a bar to reentry that has NOT been waived or excused.</p>
<p>Ano ang unang hakbang para sa mga benefitting mula sa bagong programa na ito?   An I-130 visa petition on behalf of the foreign national in question must be filed and US DHS/CIS must approve the petition, isang proseso na tumatagal ng kahit saan mula sa 3 sa 6 buwan.  And such a petition can be filed immediately, at hindi na kailangang maghintay para sa Marso 4, 2013 to submit the petition.  Tulad ng isinasaad, ito ang pangunahing ng asawa ng U.S. citizens that will be benefitting from the program although other classes of family based immigrants may also be helped by the program.  But for spouses of U.S. mamamayan, an immigrant visa becomes immediately available upon the approval of the petition, and the foreign national&#8217;s immigrant visa is immediately ripe for processing.  Within weeks after the I-130 petition is approved by US DHS/CIS, pagpoproseso nagbabago sa U.S. Kagawaran ng Estado National Visa Center at ang mga partido ay makipag-ugnayan sa pangasiwaan imigrante pagpoproseso, at sa ilalim ng bagong programa, the processing of the stateside waiver application.</p>
<p>Dapat lumitaw ang aplikante para sa isang pakikipanayam sa pagsusuko?  Sa.  Applicants will be directed to file their I-601 application and supporting documentation with DHS/CIS by mail.  Bilang ng pagsulat na ito, DHS / CIS&#8217; California Service Center will be making a decision on the application based on the documentation presented, and without conducting a face to face interview.  Such a protocol makes the preparation of a thorough and well documented waiver application all the more important, since its only by way of documents that applicants get a shot of being approved.</p>
<p>Higit pang impormasyon tungkol sa mga programa ay maaaring makuha sa pamamagitan ng website ng US DHS / CIS:  <a href="http://www.uscis.gov" target="_blank">www.uscis.gov</a></p>
<p>Gayunman, bago magpatuloy na may tulad ng isang paghaharap, it is highly advisable for prospective applicants to first consult with a knowledgeable and trustworthy immigration attorney to confirm eligibility and provide a frank assessment of the risks at play and prospects for success.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Published: November 12, 2012 According to many of our nation’s leading pundits and political commentators, it was the “Hispanic Vote” that made President Obama’s reelection possible. What exactly is the “Hispanic Vote”? It seems to have a variety of meanings, although the common theme would be that it is the demographic composed of U.S. citizens [...]]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nai-publish:  Nobyembre 12, 2012</strong></p>
<p>Ayon sa marami sa mga nangungunang pundits ng aming bansa at pampulitika commentators, ito ay ang &quot;Hispanic Vote&quot; na Presidente Obama ng reelection posibleng.  Ano ang eksaktong ay ang &quot;Hispanic Bumoto&quot;?  Mukhang upang magkaroon ng iba't-ibang mga kahulugan, bagaman ang karaniwang tema na ito ay ang demograpikong na binubuo ng US. mamamayan na may mga pinagmulan sa Mexico at Central at South America.  Presidente Obama won isang napakalaki karamihan ng segment na ito ng aming mga manghahalal, at walang duda na ng mas maraming bilang resulta ng kung ano ang Presidente Obama ginawa malinaw na siya ay nakatayo para sa, tulad ng ginawa sa kung ano Kandidato Romney pagkukulang sa paggawa ng malinaw kung ano siya ay nakatayo para sa, pinaka-kapansin-pansin sa lugar ng batas ng imigrasyon.   </p>
<p>Sa buong kanyang pagkapangulo, kabilang ang kanyang reelection kampanya, Obama ay tiyak tungkol sa kung saan siya nakatayo sa imigrasyon at kung paano siya ay tugunan ang isyu ng pagkakaroon ng 12 milyong mga indibidwal na nakatira sa Estados Unidos. walang legal na katayuan ng imigrasyon.  Kung ka sumang-ayon sa kanyang posisyon o hindi, mo alam kung ano ito ay - na ang isang path sa legalisasyon ay dapat pagsasabatas para sa mga pang-time na mga residente na walang makabuluhang kriminal background at hindi burdens sa lipunan.  Sa ibang salita, kung ikaw ay isang masipag, tapat, kung hindi man batas matibay, talaga Amerikano &#8211; kahit na undocumented, pagkatapos ay isang lugar para sa patuloy mong upang mabuhay sa American lipunan.  Mula doon, mayroon kaming - kasama ng iba pang mga benepisyo, ng milyun-milyong ng mga manggagawa paparating ng mga anino, pagbabayad ng mga buwis at pamumuhunan sa mga bahay at iba pang mga aspeto ng aming ekonomiya.    </p>
<p>Plano ng Obama ay hindi isang perpektong solusyon siyempre, ngunit sa kanyang pag-iisip (na Sumasang-ayon ako na may), ito ay mas mahusay kaysa sa mga kahalili - kung saan ay 1) umpisahan ng isang walang uliran hakbangin upang ilagay 12 milyong mga tao sa mga paglilitis sa pag-alis o 2) ipagpatuloy ang katayuan Quo - talaga indulto ng aming lipunan - kung saan ang batik-batik pagpapatupad ng aming mga batas ng imigrasyon na nangyayari sa US. para sa mga dekada patuloy, at ang mga dito na nagtatrabaho at naninirahan ilegal na patuloy na gawin ito, but with always an eye in the rear view mirror.</p>
<p>Romney ang posisyon, Ibig kong sabihin posisyon, sa imigrasyon, depended sa ang araw at oras na iyong hiniling sa kanya tungkol dito.  Sa Republican debate unequivocally ay ipinahayag niya gusto niya beto ang Dream Act, at laban sa makipag-usap ng anumang komprehensibong reporma sa imigrasyon.  Pagkatapos pagkuha ng Republican nominasyon, ginawa niya ng tungkol sa mukha, at ipinahayag na uri ng Batas ng batas ng Dream ay hindi sapat, at na ang ilang mga uri ng komprehensibong reporma sa imigrasyon, legalisasyon programa para sa lahat ng mga bansa undocumented ay kinakailangan.  At siya ay ang apdo sa irguhin Obama para sa pagpapatupad ng ipinagpaliban Aksyon ng Childhood Dating (KUNG) - Ang program na nagbibigay-daan sa ilang mga batang matanda upang makakuha ng 2 taon work permit, na naghahayag na ang isang pansamantalang lunas ay hindi sapat.  </p>
<p>Nagsasalita ng DACA, ito ay ang punto kung saan Obama inihayag ang programa sa Hunyo 15, 2012, na isa sa mga pinaka-kritikal na sandali sa kanyang bid para sa reelection.  Ito ay sa sandaling iyon, siya ay sapilitang Romney sa isang sulok at pinindot siya para sa kanyang paninindigan sa imigrasyon.  Ito ay Romney ng walang katiyakan, flip flopping on this issue that sealed his fate.</p>
<p>Mula Karl maglagalag ng magtunaw sa pambansang TV sa panahon ng halalan gabi coverage, sa paglitaw at pagkabigo ng Mega-financed Super PAC, ang mga commentators na may mahusay na materyal magkomento sa bilang sila ay tumingin pabalik sa halalan at ang mga pagkukulang ng Republican Party ngayon.  Tulad ng sa Republican diskarte sa immigration problema ng aming bansa, karamihan ng na nagsasabi sa ang katunayan na ang pinakamalayo kanang commentators at mga pulitiko - Sen. Lindsey Graham, House Tagapagsalita John Boehner, Sean Hannity at Charles Krauthammer lahat ng kasamang-  lumilitaw na ngayon hopped sa Comprehensive Immigration Reporma pambandang trak.  Kasama ang mga linya ng &quot;kung hindi ka maaaring matalo em, sumali em &quot;, ang aking pakiramdam ang mga Republicans ay ipapakita sa isang makahulugang kasosyo sa Democrats sa isang immigration reporma, path sa legalisasyon, deal sa loob ng mga darating na taon.  </p>
