U.S. Immigration has always been a hot topic, but never more so than now. As domestic interests in trade and economic growth compete against security concerns and a desire to protect American jobs, immigration is fast becoming one of the most strategic and compelling areas of U.S. law today. The ever-evolving immigration climate is influenced by changes in government laws and policies, influential court cases and grassroots practices.
This blog is designed to provide readers with a greater knowledge of key issues that could impact you, your family or your business–including identifying potential problems and possible immigration solutions. Leveraging the diverse experience of our seasoned U.S. immigration team, Lippes Mathias professionals discuss current events and key changes in immigration laws and policies, as well as practical suggestions for navigating the complex U.S. immigration system.
