One of these circumstances is a qualifying investment in a government-approved Regional Center investment program. The various EB-5 Regional Center Investment Programs are designed to enable foreign investors to qualify for permanent residence in the United States (i.e. a &quot;green card&quot;) by investing $500,000 in a Regional Center.</description>

<title>Immigration Reform and the Next President</title>

<title>Immigrating to New Zealand - The Hard Way Or the Right Way</title> 
<description>Immigrating to New Zealand or anywhere for that matter is right up there with the top 5 high stress things one encounters in life. A proper plan a step by step guide and not making any mistakes are the keys to a stress free wonderful and enriching experience. The stories one hears of the ordeal involved with immigrating to New Zealand are varied and sometimes quite scary. I firmly believe that it does not have to be this way at all. We are bombarded with information on the web and yet there are people out there who, despite there best efforts to assimilate the info into a workable plan invariably do make a mistake or their timing's not quite right and have lost both time and money.</description>

<title>Notarios Providing Legal Services Constitutes Unlicensed Practice of Law</title> 
<description>Some people in Florida are confused as to what services a Latin American notary public - &quot;notaria,&quot; &quot;consultoria&quot; or &quot;notario publico&quot; - can provide regarding immigration matters. In fact, these persons are not attorneys unless properly licensed to practice law in this state, and they should not be relied on for legal advice because they cannot give legal advice. Numerous complaints have been received about persons of Hispanic descent who have been harmed after mistakenly seeking legal assistance from notaries who offer such services in immigration matters.</description>

<title>Searches and Seizures by CBP at US Ports-of-Entry - Enhanced Security Or Harassment?</title> 
<description>Over the past 12 months, I have personally noticed a substantial increase of clients' accounts on unpleasant inspections and interrogations on entry to the United States, by members of CBP, the law enforcement agency operating under the umbrella agency Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBP Officers are charged with maintaining the security and integrity of the U.S. borders, while allowing for and promoting legitimate travel and trade. They are essentially the official &quot;greeter&quot; at the border. I can just hear many of my readers cringing and shaking their heads in disbelief...I know what you're thinking!</description>

<title>Immigration Update in View of Upcoming of Presidential Elections</title> 
<description>The U.S. Immigration laws were supposed to change considerably during the summer of 2007. Much debated legislation proposals were supposed to have been reconciled under an umbrella-version known as &quot;Comprehensive Immigration Reform&quot;. These proposed changes, which were highly debated and seen by many as controversial, were supposed to expand the available range of legalization mechanisms, offer temporary work programs, increase options of alien children to attend institutions of higher learning, streamline and expand enforcement efforts by U.S. agencies, increase inter-agency communication, step up work-site enforcement, and enhance border security, and implement fixes to what were generally seen as 'broken aspects' of the current immigration system. So what happened to this proposed &quot;Comprehensive Immigration Reform&quot; ?</description>

<title>Are You Now, Or Could You Become, A Large-Scale Commercial Investor?</title> 
<description>For those who are living and working in the United States on so-called &quot;non-immigrant visas&quot;, there may be an option of applying for an &quot;Investor Green Card&quot;, if you can (or already may have) invest in an active U.S. enterprise on a large scale.     Many would-be immigrants often neglect to consider the EB-5 Employment-Creation Green Card as a possible, long-term immigration benefit, for those who aspire Legal Permanent Resident status, and some day even U.S. Citizenship.</description>

<title>Immigration Into the UK</title> 
<description>Within the UK it is the responsibility of the UK Border Agency to ensure that the UK borders are secure and they are also the ones who control the migration within the UK. To aid this there has been a massive shake up of the immigration laws; bringing in new laws, such as the tier system. This is a Points Based System or PBS, which focuses the structure of UK immigration services into a five-tier immigration model.</description>
