It is always nice to pass along good immigration news.  The good news is that Congress has extended some immigration programs that help foreign nationals come to the United States.  In the 2010 Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 2892), Congress extends, for three years, the EB-5 permanent resident program for immigrant investors, the Conrad 30 program for physicians, and the EB-4 subcategory for non-minister religious workers.

The above-mentioned programs have been lingering in limbo for an extended time while Congress has been debating extensions.  The passage of the bill will end a difficult period of uncertainty for many foreign nationals.  Although the President still needs to sign the bill to make it law, it appears the President will put his signature on it.  You may contact us if you need an Immigration Attorney to help you with one of these programs.
