Highest Number of Illegal Immigrants in History Enter the United States in September 2023 Did you know that US Border Patrol just reported the highest number of recorded illegal immigrants in history at over 260,000 in September 2023. The full number, including unrecorded illegal immigrants, is likely over half a million (500,000) per month, which is practically the population of Wyoming. Well, as an immigration attorney, I obviously support legal immigration, think much of it could or should be easier to do for the best and brightest around the world, and I sincerely enjoy serving many of you. But this level of illegal immigration and flagrant abuse of the asylum system is disgraceful, undermines the rule of law, and harms the United States and its citizens in many ways. The Biden administration has allowed this to happen for its own narrow political purposes, but it needs to stop - somehow. Meanwhile, I hope that those who enter the U.S. illegally or with bogus asylum claims will take advantage of the opportunity to assimilate, learn about US history and traditions, and contribute to making it an even better place to live and work.

3 Requirements of an E1 Treaty Trader Visa Here are the 3 requirements of an E1 visa, which allows you to enter the United States to engage in international trade on your own behalf. 1. You must be a national of a country with which the United States maintains a treaty regarding this subject matter. Fortunately, there are many such countries, and you can find out whether your country is on the list by Googling "E1 Treaty Countries." 2. You must carry on "substantial trade", and 3. You must carry on "principal trade" between the United States and the treaty country of which you are a citizen or national. The word "trade" refers to the international exchange of items of trade between the United States and the treaty country, including: Goods Services Banking Insurance Transportation Tourism Technology, and/or Certain news-gathering activities And "Substantial trade" refers to the amount of trade sufficient to ensure a continuous flow of international trade items between the United States and the treaty country. Finally, "principal trade" between the United States and the treaty country means that over fifty percent (50%) of the volume of international trade of the E1 visa applicant is between the US and the treaty country. This is Joseph Bovino, US immigration, business, and trademark attorney.

3 Criteria to Obtain a Green Card without a COVID19 Vaccination Did you know that the United States added the Covid19 vaccine to the list of vaccinations required to obtain a green card on October 1, 2021, and it's STILL on the list two years later? So, what can you do if you aren't willing to comply? Well, you can apply for or renew a nonimmigrant visa until common sense prevails and the Covid vaccine is removed from the list. And there are many good ones, including the E2 investor visa. You could open a U.S. business and hire Americans or others with work authorization to run it for you. Or you can apply for and obtain a vaccine waiver by satisfying the following three requirements: 1. You must be opposed to ALL vaccinations in any form. That's right, In order to get a waiver of the Covid vaccine requirement, you must demonstrate that you are opposed to ALL vaccinations in all forms. You can't pick and choose between them, even though there are obvious differences. Fortunately, the fact that you've received certain vaccinations but not others in the past is not automatic grounds for denial of the waiver. Thevimmigration officer must consider your reasons for having received those vaccines in the past. 2. Your objection must be based on religious beliefs or moral conviction It’s a balancing test, where the strength of your religious belief or moral conviction against vaccinations must outweigh the benefits to society of the vaccination requirements. 3. Your religious belief or moral conviction must be sincere. You must also prove that your anti-vax beliefs are sincere and held in good faith and not asserted simply to obtain the waiver. Fortunately, you don’t need to be a member of a recognized religion or attend a specific house of worship in order to satisfy this requirement.

3 TIPS FOR E2 VISA APPLICANTS Here are 3 tips for E2 investor visa applicants: 1. Choose Your U.S. Business Wisely An immigration lawyer like me can help you get an E2 visa that will allow you to open and manage a new US business. What we can't do is offer you investment advice or make your new US business successful. It's ultimately your responsibility to choose your new US business or franchise wisely. 2. Lease a Physical US Office Space Many small business owners prefer to operate from a home or virtual office - I get it - but US consular officials typically expect to see a commercial lease for office space as a sign of your commitment to the E2 enterprise and its employees. And 3. Your Personal Investments Won't Count US consular officials reviewing your E2 visa application are unlikely to give you any credit for investments you make that are more personal than business-oriented, including almost anything travel related. For additional information or assistance with your own E2 visa application, schedule a consultation. And follow for more. #e2visa #e2visaprocess ##immigration #immigrationlawyer #investorvisa #fyp
