Welcome, welcome. This is Jacob here. I'm an immigration attorney here in San Diego,
California. And I just wanted to do this quick live to give you an update about a few things.
A lot of you are asking me questions about the interview waivers. And we posted quite
a few videos on that. And those of you that are going to join and watch this on replay,
you're going to see that I will post here. I'm going to post here a clip from one of
my clients, somebody who actually emailed me, letting me know about the continuation
of interview waivers. So, we talked about before that interviews have been waived. I
just want to give a quick update on what's going on over there. And also, yesterday,
I posted a video about the new Workforce Healthcare Resilience Act. And so, we have a lot of questions
about that. So, I'll just touch a little bit about this. But those of you that are joining
now, this is just going to be a quick live. I'm going to literally take about 15 minutes
to give you a quick update on what's happening and we'll go from there. So, let's start with
interview waivers because I know many of you are asking about this. And so, this is basically
what I received today. I received an email today from… and you can read this email,
this is from somebody that saw my blogs, and in addition to what our clients are reporting,
specifically, the person says, “Thanks for the information. I just received my green
card after my interview was canceled in April,” employment-based and this person is from Seattle.
So, just to give an update, those things that are happening both on the east coast and a
lot of it is having on the west coast, for some reason, so we have a lot of cases that
are coming in from California, we have Nevada. As you can see, this one is a Seattle case.
And literally the way it happens is that interviews are being canceled, right? Interviews being
canceled in March, in April, and people are getting notices. essentially just getting
the green cards in your mail, just like this. Another thing that is happening is that interviews
are canceled, and then you check your case status online, and then, it shows that green
card is being produced. So, those are the two ways that we've seen. So, any of you that
are watching this right now, let me know in the comments if you have experienced cancellation
of your interview, if you have experienced a reschedule because I want to collect more
of those. I want to collect more of these evidences because as of now, there is no clear
policy from USCIS as to the fact that they are canceling those interviews. But as you
can see, things are actually happening. People are getting their green cards without interviews.
Again, most of those cases, if not all of them, they are employment-based cases. I've
only reported three cases that were family-based cases. So again, once again, post them in
the comments below. I know there's quite a few people that have issues with the interviews
were canceled, and they don't know what to do. So, I'll post a link in this video about
a consultation link with me and you'll be able to talk to me personally, and we can
strategize the case. Also, I've been posting a lot of updates on our private Facebook group.
So once again, I'll post a link for the group and then I usually post an update in the group
first before I do a live. So, if you want to be in the know, go into the group, and
I want to see you there as well so we can discuss it further. Because I'm telling you,
things are changing every day, and I'm trying to collect that information. So, those of
you that joined right now, I want to show you again. So, this is another email that
I got this morning from a client, who basically showed me that his green card was rescheduled
from April. And now, he got his green card today. This was an employment-based from Seattle.
So, this is happening, and we are reporting it here. So, I'm going to be doing those lives
pretty much every week. And I'm going to update you. Another thing that happened today is
that, just announced on the immigration website, is that USCIS extends flexibility for responding
for Request For Evidence, Requests for Intend to Deny, N-14 forms, Request For More Evidence
on citizenship, and also, motions to deny. So, the way it works, if you received your
Request For Evidence between March 1st and July 1st, meaning that you have to respond
by July 1st, you have 60 more days to either respond or work on the application. For example,
if your decision was made between March and July, you also have 60 days to file an appeal
and a Form I-290. And again, this is… because at the beginning when they released the first
notice, in March, it was a bit confusing. It just said that only cases that were received
between March and May. But this update that came today from USCIS, if you go into the
USCIS website, it’s the first update that is over there. And I'm going to link it also
in the description of this video. And so, the idea is that they are making it much easier
for people to respond to Requests For Evidence, and also for appeal. So, let's say if your
case has been denied, or if Requests For Evidence between March 1st and July 1st, which is the
deadline, you have to respond, you're going to have 60 more days to respond to your Request
For Evidence. Or if your case was denied during this period of time, you're going to have
60 more days to file a motion to reopen. This is really important because many of you are
stuck at home, you cannot go to court or whenever you need to get your evidence with the tax,
IRS, and wherever you have to go. And so, they've extended that, which is amazing. So,
these are amazing news. Again, I will post some more examples in our private Facebook
group about people that are having interviews being rescheduled. One of the ways I know
about it is because we have almost 3000 members in that group. And so, there, members are
posting information. So, this person that I just showed you, he was a member of my group
and he sent an email. So, if you want to join the group, there's a link at the description
of this video. Join the group so we can continue the discussion. You can share information
if you have your interview waived and you receive your green card, make sure you join
the group and you let us know that it happens so we can all share information. And also,
if you have a particular issue with the case, you can schedule a consultation with me and
we can discuss it. But that's huge because the more interviews are being waived, the
more the pipeline is going to continue. And we're going to make it easier for people to
get their interviews set up after this... USCIS is going to open on June 4th. It looks
like they're trying to clear the pipeline, and have more interviews being rescheduled.
So, this is amazing news and we try to… I'm trying to keep track of it. I'm having
people email me from YouTube, like you guys are watching right now. If you're here for
the first time, by the way, make sure to subscribe to my channel. I do videos every single week.
This week, we're going to do more than three videos. So, make sure you subscribe to our
channel, share this with a friend, and join our Facebook group where we can also share
that information. And also, our members can let me know if their interviews are being
waived so I can pass the information along to you. And then once again, the final thing
that I want to give an update is what I mentioned yesterday. The Relief Act for Nurses and Doctors,
this is something that we're getting a lot of questions about. And again, this is just
a proposal bill. This is not a law that has passed yet. And it's going to pass. And we're
going to, again, I'll keep you posted and I’ll let you know. And hopefully, it will
pass in about 45 to 60 days, what it's going to do, it's going to eliminate the backlog
of nurses and doctors. It’s going to create an immediate option for them to come to the
US without waiting for a visa number. And also, those doctors that are currently in
the United States are going to be able to file for Adjustment of Status with an expedited
process. This is something that has never happened in the history of immigration for
this kind of reform, and for this kind of measure to happen for such a small group of
immigrants. Which, obviously, are much needed right now, which gives me a lot of hope that
if they can do that for doctors and nurses, why can’t they expand that to other classes
of immigrants, so we'll see. So once again, just a quick video update about interview
waivers, they continue to be waived. And we continue to collect examples of interviews
that are being waived. And we'll continue to share that with you. Second of all, immigration
is now extending flexibility for responding for Request For Evidence, and also for motions
to reopen. You have 60 more days to file if your cases were issued between March 1st and
July 1st, as far as other denials, or the Request For Evidence. And finally, an amazing
update about the new bill for nurses and doctors. I’ll keep you posted. Once again, I invite
you to join my private Facebook group, so we can continue to share the examples and
our discussion. The link is in the description of this video. And once again, those of you
that want to do consultations, one on one with me, specific matters, we have a special
rate for YouTube viewers, especially the ones that are going live. And so, just post a comment
that you want that and I'll share the link with you as a response to your comment. All

to try to do these lives a few times a week. And thank you for your support. Subscribe
