Immigration Law

Ted J. Chiappari, a partner at Satterlee Stephens Burke & Burke, and Angelo A. Paparelli, a partner at Seyfarth Shaw, write that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has been an agency in continuous chaos for the last year and a half, essentially leaderless since the resignation of its director. The new director, Alejandro Mayorkas, will soon learn the facts on the ground at the agency - intractable backlogs, opaque procedures, and a doubting-Thomas bureaucracy still mired in a century-old system of paper-based petitions, applications, form letters and boilerplate responses despite many failed efforts at automation. Mr. Mayorkas will clearly have his hands full, not the least because USCIS officers, enmeshed in a culture of "no," are more focused on detecting fraud than interpreting the law with commonsense notions of fairness and justice.

After a Decade In-House, Mathews Opens ADR Shop

Gregory Mathews, an in-house staple in Philadelphia for the past decade, was never a big advocate of mediation when he managed the litigation group at Meridian Bank Corp. and later CoreStates Bank Corp. But as his employer kept being acquired by larger entities - First Union Corp. and now Wachovia Corp. - the number of active claims filed against the bank grew exponentially.

The Juarez Way: Important Information on Waivers

Applicants filing for immigrant visas outside the United States often find they cannot be admitted into this country for various reasons enumerated under Immigration and Nationality Act §212, says Jason Mills. Perhaps the applicant has a criminal conviction or health issue, has made misrepresentations on prior visa applications or previously was in the United States illegally.

Immigration Law

Angelo A. Paparelli, a partner at Seyfarth Shaw, and Ted J. Chiappari, a partner at Satterlee Stephens Burke & Burke, ask: Why is U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services clipping the wings off future job growth? USCIS has done just that by issuing a memorandum that announces a new set of demanding, burdensome and commercially unreasonable requirements for an employer to prove that the petitioning business will have a valid employer-employee relationship with the foreign workers it proposes to hire.

Improving Consistency in Immigration Adjudications

In his Immigration Law column, Michael D. Patrick, a partner at Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, writes that the U.S. Supreme Court's recent opinion in Judulang v. Holder is the latest decision to highlight what is a long history of inconsistency and irrationality in the immigration field as a whole: agency policies that deviate from established standards, arbitrary tests that ignore the plain language of the statute or regulations, and increased focus and authority given to discretionary decision-making.

Immigration Law

Angelo A. Paparelli, a partner at Seyfarth Shaw, and Ted J. Chiappari, a partner at Satterlee Stephens Burke & Burke, write that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently amended its instructions to Immigration Service Officers on how to decide whether foreign workers sponsored by the acquired entity in a merger, acquisition or other form of business restructuring may keep their place in the immigrant visa queue. Successor-in-interest eligibility (as this genre of immigration decisions is dubbed) is important not only to the foreign workers and their families, but also to the acquiring company. Frequently, these transactions make sense not only for the hard assets acquired but also because of the likely economic value of present and prospective intellectual property rights flowing from the minds of the acquired entity's employees.

When the Green Card Is Issued in Error

In their Immigration Law column, Satterlee Stephens Burke & Burke partner Ted J. Chiappari and Angelo A. Paparelli, a partner at Seyfarth Shaw, write: The Second Circuit recently became the sixth court of appeals to render essentially meaningless a five-year statute of limitations preventing the immigration authorities from rescinding green cards that had been granted improvidently.
