pull up our latest newsletter and, um, let's do this. Okay, here we go. Um, so what's happening,
this, what's, what's happened, I should say this week with immigration? Well, firstly,
friends is I've reported out to folks on TikTok. Um, 20 states have sued. The Biden administration
has sued the Biden administration to stop the new migrant parole process for Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua,
and Venezuela and folks are complaining. There, there are complaints on both sides,
obviously, um, both sides of the argument. But these states are arguing that bringing in 360,000
migrants, um, is an overreach. It's, this is not the, uh, authority that Congress
gave the executive branch, uh, to do with respect to parole. Parole is a case by case
humanitarian process to assess the urgent humanitarian needs of an individual. Whereas
through this program, uh, it's, uh, groups of individuals are, are, are being allowed in.
And, um, that's the argument on the side of the states that want an injunction. Guys,
the lawsuit is assigned to Judge Tip Tipton, the same judge who had blocked other immigration
policies that the Biden administration, um, had, uh, put forth since, uh, taken office two years
ago. So this is with him now. And as I said in my TikTok video, that you guys need to hurry up and,
um, and apply for this if you have your supporters here in the United States urge them to hurry
up and do this before a possible injunction, uh, is issued. So, um, that's the latest with
that particular issue. Now, secondly, friends,
um, the, there's a class action lawsuit, and this is good news. There's a class action
lawsuit that has been filed against U S C I S for the delays. The process and delays with
the waiver, uh, that is required for individuals who had overstayed, uh, or who has to go back,
has to go back to a US Embassy for an embassy interview to finish the process and get their
green card. There's a lawsuit that's underway to, um, it speed this process up, speed it up,
and it's the I 6 0 1 [inaudible] unlawful presence waiver that's at issue here. And
for many of you out there who are waiting included some of our clients, um, they've,
we've been waiting maybe two years for some people three years just for a decision about this
critical waiver. And so a lawsuit has been filed, and I'll keep you guys posted on the outcome.
Um, then guys, and I'm just gonna skip through again, get on our newsletter,
subscribe so that you could get all of the news. Um, I'm gonna jump now to an issue, um, that an
announcement that U S C I S made just a few days ago about conditional residency. And so
for those of you who had received a two-year green card, um, because your marriage was, uh, under,
was younger I should say, then two years at the time the government approved your green card,
you now, you know that you'll have to apply to obtain a 10 year green card. And so there's an ex,
there's an automatic extension that happens when you apply for the 10 year green card.
And previously it was 18 months and then they moved it up to 24 months. Now it's 48
months. It's a four year process. Um, and you know, don't be too alarmed by this,
although it's ridiculous that, um, they're now saying that, well, you know, processing
times are not great on our end and we're just gonna give you guys a four year extension.
Um, you know, for some people it's fine. It's not gonna make a difference because by year three of
being a resident, they're eligible to apply for naturalization anyway through their spouse. And
once they do so, they'll be able to, um, have a faster process through naturalization and get
and become a citizen, and then it's over for them. But for others who have marriages that, um, didn't
work out and they're not able or eligible to apply for citizenship at the three year mark of being
a resident, then you know, obviously they'll have to wait for the five years and hopefully,
um, they wouldn't have to wait any longer under this slower process. So the government has said
that if you had already filed your petition to remove conditions, they will send you a
new receipt notice with this 48 month extension. And, uh, for those of you who will file your form
after this, um, this effective date of January 25th, then you're gonna get an, an
automatic extension of 48 months as well. Then, uh, friends, uh, some asylum applicants are now
eligible to file their work permit application online. Go to U S C I s.gov website for more
information on that. And then finally, TPSs for Haiti is now officially open. And,
um, on January 25th, the Department of Homeland Security posted the notice about how to register
or re-register for TPSs, um, under the, the most recent designation period, which is from February
4th, 2023 until August 3rd, 2024. And so this is an 18 month, uh, 18 months, uh, uh, period
here. So it's open, it's available, and if you have t p s from Haiti, you will need to, uh,
reregister or register if you're a first time, um, applicant. So guys, those are the latest news that
