WELCOME TO THE VISASERVE (NPZ LAW GROUP, P.C.) BLOG
The United States is a nation of immigrants. We continue to maintain a dominant position among the nations in the world because of the hard work of skilled and unskilled foreign national workers who continue to bring their unique skills and talents. Immigration to the United States provides an opportunity for the exchange of cultures and traditions and allows us to be competitive with the other dominant countries of the world. By favoring highly-skilled workers in the immigration process, the U.S. is able to remain on the cutting-edge of the worldwide brain drain. Highly-skilled professional and specialty occupation workers that come to our shores (researchers, scientists, doctors, engineers, teachers, etc.) continue to build important economic infrastructure that strengthens our tax base and revitalizes our floundering social systems. Restrictive immigration policies should be directed at hardened criminals and pronounced terrorists and those seeking to do harm to our nation. The immigration lawyers on the Visaserve Team at NPZ Law Group, P.C. provide prompt and personal immigration law services to and from the U.S. and "work hard each day to save the world one person at a time".

In a rare show of bipartisan comity on the angrily contested issue of immigration, the House of Representatives on November 29, 2011 passed a bill that tweaks the visa system to allow more highly skilled immigrants from India and China to become legal permanent residents.
The bill, originally offered by Representatives Jason Chaffetz, a conservative Re-publican from Utah, and Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican and chairman of the House Judiciary Commit-tee, sailed through by a vote of 389 to 15. Joining as sponsors were several Democrats, who are outspoken liberals on immigration, including Re-presentatives Luis V. Gutierrez of Illinois and Zoe Lofgren of California.

EB-2: National Interest Waivers Provide Individuals with Permanent Status - By: Michael Phulwani, Esq. and David Nachman, Esq.

A foreign national may apply for lawful permanent residence status (green card), and seek a waiver of the job offer and labor certification requirements, by establishing that his or her admission to permanent residence would be in the National Interest.
There is no regulatory or statutory standard as to what will qualify an alien for a National Interest Waiver. The USCIS considers each case on an individual basis. The procedure is to file the case with evidence to establish that the alien's proposed services will be in an area of substantial intrinsic merit and will have a national benefit, and that the alien has some track record of success in his or her field.
