"Data show approvals for O-1A visas and national interest waivers for employment-based green cards have risen significantly since 2021. Businesses and high-skilled professionals welcomed the change, but attorneys caution adjudicators at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services are showing increased scrutiny." https://lnkd.in/edJSne4H

"As capacity restrictions and time limits at shelters intensify, advocates say they’re scrambling to pick up the slack to keep migrant families safe — often without adequate resources." https://lnkd.in/gqDPvwNS “To meet the worldwide migration challenges of the 21st century, we need the federal government to work in partnership with states and localities to humanely and efficiently receive noncitizens who arrive after traversing oceans, harsh landscapes, and dangerous situations in the hopes of joining the fabric of America,” said Jennifer Ibañez Whitlock, Supervisory Policy & Practice Counsel at the American Immigration Lawyers Association. “[The Destination Reception Assistance Act] is a sensible solution to addressing the economic realities of certain costs currently borne by cities and states and sets them up to benefit from the long-term contributions we know that immigrants inevitably provide to receiving communities.
