Accidental injuries and work-related injuries

Immigration bail is the official practice of requesting DHS/ICE to release a detainee from immigration custody. Detainees can apply for immigration bail if they are held in a removal center, detention center, or prison. Detainees must have two sureties to assist with the application and a financial sponsor. In many cases, detainees must prove they have a lawful right to be detained in the United States and agree to post this bond.

When non-U.S. citizens enter the country, customs officers must review their immigration documents and immigration history to determine whether they are admissible. Depending on the circumstances, customs officers have the power to order the non-citizen to return immediately to their point of departure or to temporarily detain them. Shengqi Law Firm provides emergency airport bail services for clients who are questioned or temporarily detained at customs. We will assess your immigration issues and protect your rights throughout the entire process.

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA or the Board) is the highest administrative body responsible for interpreting and applying U.S. immigration law. The BIA authorizes 23 appellate immigration judges, including the Chief Appellate Immigration Judge and one or two Deputy Chief Appellate Immigration Judges. The BIA primarily reviews appeals of decisions made by immigration judges and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regional directors to ensure that immigration law is applied fairly and uniformly. The BIA provides sufficient time and discretion based on the specific circumstances of each case to ensure fairness. BIA decisions are binding on all immigration judges and DHS officials. Some BIA decisions are also designated for publication in the Administrative Decisions of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Law.

In limited circumstances, the federal courts of appeals (also known as circuit courts) have jurisdiction to review BIA decisions. This means that if the BIA denies your appeal, you have a second chance to appeal. This step is called a "petition for review." In most cases, the appeal standards are very strict, which means that a petition for review is difficult to grant. Most immigration attorneys do not have the expertise to handle these cases. Litigation in the Federal Circuit is highly specialized, but the attorneys at Winning Law Firm have filed numerous petitions for review and have successfully filed most of them, even in very difficult jurisdictions.

According to the USCIS, an applicant is inadmissible if they obtained benefits under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by: 1. Fraud; or 2. Willful misrepresentation. While each involves different means of demonstrating inadmissibility, they share common elements. Shengqi Law Firm represents clients charged with immigration document fraud and other related immigration issues. Call now to schedule a consultation with an attorney who can help you defend yourself against the charges.

A waiver is a release from liability for a specific immigration violation. For example, when someone is applying for a U.S. visa or green card, an immigration (or consular) officer must determine whether the person has violated U.S. or other laws and decide whether the applicant is inadmissible. The same process occurs when a green card holder is convicted of a crime; the government will determine whether such a crime constitutes an immigration violation that makes them deportable. The most common violations include:

• have ever had a deportation order issued against them;

• criminal conviction;

• Illegal stay;

• Immigration fraud.

If you believe that any of your violations may affect your future immigration application, we strongly recommend that you consult with Shengqi Law Firm or any immigration attorney. Shengqi Law Firm ’s professional attorneys have extensive experience in successfully applying for waivers.

Among the many types of negative records, overstaying is a particularly troublesome one. Because I-94 records are readily available for review at all times at any entry or exit into the United States, any nonimmigrant who loses status in the United States and fails to leave the country promptly must face the consequences.

The H-1B visa is a visa provided to "special professionals" who have obtained a bachelor's degree or above. They engage in professional work in the United States, and the profession they engage in must be related to their degree.

Currently, the number of H-1B visas is capped at 65,000 per year. Unfortunately, for many immigrants who meet the H-1B requirements, this cap is quickly reached. However, an additional 20,000 H-1B visas are available for applicants with a master's degree or higher in the United States. Spouses of H-1B holders can currently work in the United States, and their children can attend school there.

H-1B visa holders can work in the United States for three years, which can be extended for another three years. After six years, if the visa holder's status has not been converted, they must leave the United States.

Whether you are an employee applying for an H-1B visa to work in the United States, or an employer seeking specialized foreign talent, the attorneys at Shengqi Law Firm can use their extensive knowledge, experience, and language skills to help you achieve your case goals.

Typically, applying for an EB2 employment-based visa requires a job offer and a labor certification application (PERM). However, in some cases, applicants can obtain an EB2 visa by following the above steps and applying for a "National Interest Waiver," essentially self-petitioning by demonstrating that issuing a visa would be beneficial to the United States.

Employment-based immigration: This is a type of visa offered based on employment preference, and is designed for applicants who possess exceptional talent, are professors or researchers, or are executives or managers of multinational corporations. Each type of visa has certain requirements that must be met.

EB1: You must be able to demonstrate, through sustained national or international acclaim, extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.

EB2: The job you are applying for must require an advanced degree, and you must possess that degree or its foreign equivalent (a bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent plus 5 years of post-bachelor's, progressive work experience in the field). You must meet the other requirements listed for the applicable labor certification.

EB3: If you are a skilled worker, professional, or other skilled worker, you may qualify for this immigrant visa category.

The EB-5 program was established to encourage foreign investment in the United States and to promote economic development by creating jobs. The program allows investors to obtain a green card through investment in the United States. To obtain an EB-5 visa, investors must invest in a newly established business.

The USCIS website defines an enterprise as "a legally organized business organization for profit," including partnerships, joint ventures, corporations, and joint-stock companies. Investors must meet two requirements: create a specified number of jobs and contribute a specified amount of capital.

To qualify as a new job, the investor must provide at least ten full-time jobs for individuals who can legally work in the U.S. These jobs can be directly within the commercial enterprise or created within a regional center associated with the investment.

General commercial enterprises must contribute US$1 million. In certain special sectors, the minimum contribution is US$500,000. Special sectors are defined as impoverished areas or areas with unemployment rates 1.5 times higher than the national average.

EB-5 is one of the most challenging and expensive pathways to a green card, making it crucial to hire an attorney who is familiar with the entire process.
