Immigration update: United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced a major policy change for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). U.S. immigration law requires certain classes of noncitizens to apply for employment authorization through USCIS and obtain an EAD to begin (or continue) working in the U.S. Previously, EADs were only valid for 1-2 years depending on the noncitizen’s status. This recent policy change effectively increases the maximum validity period for EADs. Under this change, certain noncitizens can receive valid employment authorization for up to FIVE YEARS. Wow! This policy change applies to: Refugees; Asylees; Noncitizens who are granted withholding of deportation or removal; Noncitizens with pending applications for asylum or withholding of removal; Noncitizens with pending applications for adjustment of status; Noncitizens with pending applications for suspension of deportation or cancellation of removal; and Noncitizens paroled as refugees.

The subject of immigration seems to be an increasingly emotive one. Thoughtful considerations that may stimulate and inform further thought seem much needed. It may be useful to consider migration in terms of give and take, take and give. When doing so matters of care should not be disregarded, nor the inevitable dilemmas of conflicting needs for care. #immigration #truths #care

It is now easier to allow many new immigrants to enter the United States. These programs are meant for people who are escaping difficult situations like wars and political troubles in their home countries. If someone in the United States agrees to support them, these immigrants can come here and quickly get permission to work. The New York Times has published an excellent article that summarizes everything. #immigration #humanitarian #visa #USCIS #Ukraine #USA #EB3 #Workvisa https://lnkd.in/ge4qB8yn

Each year, the Office of Homeland Security Statistics Resources publishes statistics on diverse immigration data, which includes its Yearbook of Immigration Statistics.   According to DHS, “The 2022 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics is a compendium of tables that provide data on foreign nationals who are granted lawful permanent residence (i.e., immigrants who receive a “green card”), admitted as temporary nonimmigrants, granted asylum or refugee status, or are naturalized. The Yearbook also presents data on immigration enforcement actions, including apprehensions and arrests, removals, and returns.” One of the data points that I found most interesting in the 2022 Yearbook is the number and class of nonimmigrant admissions (as recorded by the I-94 system). For example, DHS admitted more than 96 million nonimmigrants in 2022, and while this may seem like a lot, it’s still significantly fewer admissions than our pre-COVID numbers wherein 2018 and 2019, DHS admitted more than 186 million nonimmigrants. So, who did DHS admitted in 2022? How did these admissions compare to pre-COVID admissions in 2019? See Table 1 for an excerpt of some of the most frequently encountered visa classifications. See Table 2 for the regions from which the nonimmigrant visitors came to the U.S. For more information see the USCIS Yearbook (https://lnkd.in/ekSmm6mt) and Data Hub (https://lnkd.in/eAd9q-8q) #immigration #immigrationlaw #nonimmigrants

🇨🇦 Immigration Minister Marc Miller has highlighted the ongoing debate about providing status to undocumented people in Canada.   • Canada has between 300,000 to 600,000 undocumented migrants.  • There’s no consensus among Canadians or members within the govt on regularisation.  • Miller: "I think from a humanitarian perspective it makes sense. From an economic perspective, it makes sense," Challenges:  • Balancing regularisation with housing and economic impacts.  • Addressing pressures from groups advocating for migrant rights. 🔄 What’s Next?  • No firm decision yet, as the cabinet is still discussing.  • The government aims to explore pathways towards regularisation / faster deportations. 📢 Join the Conversation: What are your thoughts on regularising undocumented migrants in Canada?
