Trump’s “Gold Card” proposal has truly arrived — and it is no longer merely political rhetoric. Do you remember when Trump publicly declared: “Pay $5 million and buy a U.S. Gold Card”? Many assumed it was simply a campaign catchphrase. But now, it is clear that this concept is entering the implementation phase. The timeline: Trump publicly introduced the concept of the “Gold Card,” proposing permanent residency in exchange for a $5 million contribution; On September 19, the W

On November 12, Congress passed and President Trump signed a short-term spending bill, officially ending the 43-day federal government shutdown that began on October 1. The bill includes a “three-in-one appropriations package” through next September and funds all federal agencies through January 30, 2026, allowing the government to resume normal operations at pre-shutdown budget levels while providing additional time to continue negotiations on the FY2026 budget. At the same

Under U.S. immigration law, a “child” is defined as an unmarried individual under 21 years old. However, due to long waiting times in some immigration categories—such as when a green card holder petitions for a child or a U.S. citizen petitions for siblings—many children may “age out” during the waiting period and lose eligibility. To address this, the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), enacted in 2002, introduced the “age-freezing” mechanism. It allows a child’s immigration

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published a notice in the Federal Register, officially implementing the immigration parole fee mandated by the “One Big Beauty Bill Act.” Effective October 16, 2025, all individuals approved for parole or re-parole—unless exempt—must pay a $1,000 fee. This fee will automatically adjust annually for inflation. What Is Immigration Parole? Simply put, parole is not a visa or a green card. It is a temporary entry permit granted t

On October 16, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging the presidential proclamation issued on September 19. The proclamation restricts the entry of certain H-1B nonimmigrants and requires employers to pay an additional $100,000 fee per worker.

近日，美国总统特朗普正式签署了“金卡”移民计划的行政命令。这张宛如奢华“贵宾卡”的新政，直观传递了核心理念：通过改革移民政策，终结非法移民，并优先吸纳能为美国带来实际利益的外国人，比如成功的企业家、投资者和商界领袖。与此同时，特朗普还提出“白金卡”设想：捐款高达 500 万美元，持有者不仅能获得绿卡，还可享受额外的税务优惠。但因超出行政权限，目前仍需国会批准，尚未真正推出。 金卡的核心内容是什么呢？ 根据白宫公布的行政令，“金卡”项目设有两种申请渠道。个人申请者：捐款 100 万美元；或企业赞助：为员工捐款 200 万美元。 申请由商务部主导，联合国务院和国土安全部实施，涵盖受理申请、公共安全与国家安全审查，以及身份调整。同时，官方将这一捐款直接视为申请人符合 EB-1A 杰出人才或 EB-2 国家利益豁免的资格证明，并提供加急处理的绿色通道。按照行政令要求，三部门需在90 天内制定实施细则，最快年底前可能接受申请。 对现有移民类别的影响： 对 EB-2、EB-3 的影响: EB-2 和 EB-3 原本要求学历、资质、雇主支持或劳工市场需求，是典

“H-1B入境要缴纳10万美元”的新规刚刚掀起轩然大波，大家的担忧和讨论还没散去。没想到，USCIS 又在宣布9月24日将在《联邦公报》正式抛出一项重量级新规：H-1B 抽签不再完全随机，而是改为工资优先的加权随机制度。 这意味着未来 H-1B 配额将更倾向于分配给高薪、高技能岗位，而低工资、入门级别岗位的中签概率将显著下降。DHS 甚至公开了模拟数据：同样的配额下，不同工资等级的中签概率差距最高可达 4 倍。 一、新规核心内容 新的规则设计很直观：工资越高，进入抽签池的“票”就越多。Level IV 可以放进四张，Level III 三张，Level II 两张，而 Level I 只有一张。每个受益人仍然只能中一次，不会因为多个雇主注册而叠加。 同时，继续保留两轮抽签，先抽普通65,000名额，第二轮 20,000 个硕博豁免名额。硕士和博士虽然多了一次机会，但工资等级依旧是决定权重的核心因素。换句话说，高学历+高工资的申请人将迎来双重优势！ 雇主在注册时必须如实申报工资水平、SOC 职业代码和工作地点，并确保与后续的 L

昨天，特朗普总统签署的H-1B 新规公告要求雇主支付10 万美元附加费才能让申请人入境美国，引发轩然大波，H-1B 社群、留学生和用人企业都高度关注。今天，官方更新了更细化的公告对此政策的适用范围与细节做出了更明确的说明。 USCIS最新备忘录已特别说明: 本公告只适用于未来的新申请，不适用于以下情况： 公告生效前已提交的申请 已经批准的申请 当前持有有效 H-1B 签证的人 本公告不会影响现有签证持有人出入美国的能力。 另外白宫新闻秘书再次重申: 这不是年度费用，而是一次性费用，只适用于新申请。 已经持有 H-1B 签证的人，不管是在境内还是境外，都不需要交 $100,000 来重新入境。 新规只针对新签证，不适用于续签或当前签证持有人。 律所整理问答 Q1：已经有 H-1B 签证的人，需要交 $100,000 吗？能不能出境再回美？ 不需要交钱。 USCIS 明确表示现有签证持有人不受影响，可以正常出入境。 Q2：我在美国境内换雇主（transfer），要交 10 万吗？ 不用。你在境内，不涉及“入境（entry）”，不触发本公告的收费条款。

今天，美国国务院发布，本财年首月（2025年10月）的签证排期。此次亲属移民B表已确认开放，职业移民B表不开放。与上个月相比，10 月份亲属移民多个类别前进，职业移民亦有明显变化。 亲属移民：A表均有明显前进，其中 F1 前进 116 天，F2-B 和 F3 各前进 38 天；F2-A 前进幅度最大，达 518 天；F4 也小幅前进 7 天。B表开放，B表中F2-A 前进 113 天，F4 前进 59 天，其余 F1、F2-B、F3 均无变化。 职业移民：A表EB-2 与 EB-3 有明显前进，EB-4 从不可用转为有排期，EB-5 仍无变化；B表继续不开放。 请注意，以下排期信息仅适用于中国大陆出生的申请人。 以下是2025年10月亲属移民+职业移民绿卡排期与9月的对比： A表：Final Action Date 签证类别 2025年9月 2025年10月 变化时间 F1 公民成年未婚子女 2016-07-15 2016-11-08 前进116天 F2-A 绿卡持有人配偶及未成年子女 2022-09-01 2024-02-01 前进518天 F

美国移民法中对孩子有一个明确的定义：21岁以下未婚子女可以随着父母一起移民。但一些移民类别需要漫长的等待时间，比如绿卡持有人给孩子申请，或者美国公民为兄弟姐妹申请，动辄要等上十几年。常常有很多孩子在等待过程中发生“超龄”情况。美国在 2002 年通过了《儿童身份保护法》，其核心就是锁龄机制，在满足一定条件下，孩子的移民年龄会被冻结在某个时间点或通过公式计算，从而保留“子女”资格。 那如果发生这种情况该如何避免呢？ 首先，我们来了解一下美国家庭亲属移民的几个优先类别： 第一优先 (F1)：美国公民的未婚子女（21 岁以上）。 第二优先 (F2)：永久居民的配偶和子女。 F2A：绿卡持有人的配偶和未满 21 岁的未婚子女。 F2B：绿卡持有人的未婚子女（21 岁及以上）。 第三优先 (F3)：美国公民的已婚子女。 第四优先 (F4)：成年美国公民的兄弟姐妹，以及他们的配偶和未婚子女。 我们先从美国公民给孩子办绿卡讲起： 只要 I-130 递交的那一天孩子还没满 21 岁，年龄就可以直接锁住。比如，王先生是美国公民，他在 2020年1月1日帮自己 19

The press secretary starts off the conference with some announcements including that the President will soon welcome the president of El Salvador to discuss further cooperation with the country and their supermax prisons. This could signal more unprecedented deportations to El Salvador by the President. Then, Leavitt continues by announcing the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants. Further, the press secretary touches on

Response to question about executive orders against big law firms: Donald Trump said it was done to make the firms “behave themselves,” and that he will reach a settlement with other law firms that “behaved very wrongly” regarding the election. As well, he said the settlements are at the discretion and the will of these big law firms because they “realized that they did wrong” and were coming back to reconcile. Finally, he ended it by saying that the administration will “str
