USCIS to Accept New H-2B Fiscal Year 2009 Petitions

WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today reopened the fiscal year 2009 H-2B petition filing period and will immediately accept new H-2B petitions.

Although on Jan. 7, 2009, USCIS announced it accepted and approved a sufficient number of H-2B petitions to meet the congressionally mandated annual cap of 66,000, the Department of State received far fewer than expected requests for H-2B visas and as a result, has issued only 40,640 H-2B visas for fiscal year 2009 to date. This means that there are approximately 25,000 visas that may go unused, as they have not been granted. Because of the low visa issuance rate, USCIS is reopening the filing period to allow employers to file additional petitions for qualified H-2B temporary foreign nonagricultural workers.

The normal (non-premium processing) adjudication time frame for H-2B petitions is 60 days.  USCIS will make visa numbers available to petitions in the order in which the petitions are filed.  However, because H-2B petitions (Form I-129) for fiscal year 2009 visas must be received, evaluated, and adjudicated on or before the fiscal year 2009 deadline of Sept. 30, 2009, USCIS cannot guarantee approval of any H-2B petition on or before the Sept. 30, 2009 deadline.  Employers therefore are encouraged to file as soon as possible and to request premium processing by filing a Form I-907 and submitting the $1000 premium processing fee, which will allow for expedited adjudication.  See http://www.uscis.gov/premiumprocessing.

To qualify for a fiscal year 2009 H-2B cap number, employers must:

• Submit the Form I-129 Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker to USCIS with all required documents, including an approved Alien Employment Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor that is valid for the entire employment period stated on the petition.

The petitioner must also indicate an employment start date before Oct. 1, 2009.

Petitions received on or after Oct. 1, 2009, and/or requesting a starting date on or after Oct. 1, 2009, will be considered towards the fiscal year 2010 H-2B cap and are subject to all eligibility requirements for fiscal year 2010 H-2B filings, including 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(iv)(D), which requires that the start date listed on the petition be the same as the starting date authorized on the temporary labor certification.

The H-2B program allows U.S. employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary nonagricultural jobs for which there is a shortage of available U.S. workers. Typically, H-2B workers fill labor needs in occupational areas such as education, construction, health care, landscaping,  manufacturing, food service/processing, and resort/hospitality services.

For more information about this reopening of the H-2B fiscal year 2009 filing period, please see the related list of questions and answers. More information about the H-2B visa program is available in the USCIS guide, “How Do I Hire a Foreign National for Short-Term Employment in the United States,” please see Related Links on the right of this page or by calling USCIS’ National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

 
 

USCIS Begins Transfer of Historical A-Files to National Archives

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the National Archives and Records Administration took a major step today for personal, historical and genealogical research with a formal schedule to begin the transfer of alien registration files (A-files) for permanent retention at the National Archives.  Archival processing of approximately 135,000 files could be completed by next summer and available for public access.

The schedule was formalized in a signing ceremony at the National Archives in Washington.  Gregory B. Smith, Associate Director, USCIS and Chief, National Security and Records Verification Directorate, delivered the first files to Adrienne Thomas, Acting Archivist of the United States, who signed the new schedule.

“Immigration is one of the most significant aspects of the American experience,” said Smith.  The information contained in the A-file is unique.  No other type of case file contains the same level of comprehensive personal data…especially concerning the alien’s interaction with USCIS and the former Immigration and Naturalization Service, and their request for resident status and/or citizenship.  This ensures that the records contained within the A-File will be retained forever in our National Archives – preserving a rich and important part of America’s immigration history.”

“These A-files are a key to unlocking the fascinating stories of millions of people who traveled to the United States in search of opportunity,” added Thomas.  “The National Archives is delighted that it will be able to safeguard the unique and important stories of brave men and women who left their homelands in search of a better life.”

The A-file is a series of records consisting of numbered files used to document the complete history of the interaction between an alien and the U.S. government.  The file is unique in that it not only contains routine demographic information, but may also include photographs, foreign birth certificates, marriage licenses, interview transcripts or actual recordings, and more.  Currently, USCIS maintains approximately 53 million A-files; of these, about 21 million have been retired to a Federal Records Center.

Previously, the A-file was considered a ‘temporary record’ and could possibly have been disposed of 75 years from the date the file was retired to a Federal Records Center or 75 years from the date of last action.  Now, the A-file becomes a permanent record which will transfer to National Archives custody 100 years from the individual’s date of birth.  Newly-eligible files will be transferred to the National Archives every five years.

After transfer to the National Archives, the majority of files will be housed at the National Archives in Kansas City.  Files on immigration through the port of San Francisco will be housed at the National Archives in San Francisco.  Once these records have been transferred, they will be available in the research rooms at these two National Archives facilities.  Copies will also be available through the mail.

Additional immigration-related information and links to resources geared specifically for genealogical research is available online from the Related Links of this page.

 

Canada Build Your Bridge to Prosperity in the Global Market

Why Canada?

The United States and Canada share the longest common border between any two nations in the world – a border that spans more than 5,000 miles with 140 border crossings, and offers access to most of Canada’s 33.5 million inhabitants, who live within 160 miles of the border. Our combined trade in goods, services and foreign direct investment adds up to a trillion dollar economic partnership.

This geographical proximity coupled with common free market values, language, business practices, and a similar standard of living – where U.S. goods and services account for approximately 60 percent of purchases – make Canada our most important export market in the world, and an ideal market for U.S. companies wanting to make their first export sale. And thanks to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), there are no tariffs on industrial and most agricultural products imported from the United States.

Canada’s Economic Outlook

Canada had strong economic growth, historically low unemployment, and financial stability through 2007. However, the recent drop in global trade and production adversely affected the country due to its strong international trade linkages. Canada’s exports have fallen, domestic demand has shrunk, and unemployment has risen. However, the economic strain felt in other countries is markedly less serious in Canada.

Canada’s real estate markets has fared much better that in other major countries, and the financial sector remains stable with solid credit growth. The fiscal stimulus incorporated in the 2009 federal budget will ameliorate the downturn in tandem with the Bank of Canada’s aggressive easing of monetary policy.

Canada continues to be the most receptive market in the world for U.S. goods and services, as companies and consumers are always interested in high quality, competitive products that will improve market competitiveness and quality of life. Now is the time for U.S. small and medium-sized firms to enter the Canadian market with the help of the U.S. Commercial Service in Canada in order to position themselves for the economic recovery ahead.

Best Prospects in Canada

U.S.-Canada bilateral trade presents opportunities in a wide range of industries for U.S. exporters, including in these best prospect sectors:

Medical Devices

Safety and Security Equipment

Agricultural Machinery and Equipment

Aerospace and Defense

Consumer Electronics

Travel and Tourism

Automotive Aftermarket Parts & Accessories/Service Equipment

Computer Hardware

Telecommunications Equipment

Computer Software

Oil and Gas Field Machinery

Electrical Power Systems

There are also many major projects in Canada that present new export opportunities for U.S. firms. Details on projects, such as the ones listed below, are available in our Market Research Library.

Alberta oil sands development

Atlantic Canada renewable energy projects

Ontario energy sector and Canada power projects

British Columbia construction and port development projects

Security projects for maritime and ports

Doing Business in Canada

Canada is consistently rated as one of the best places in the world for business. However, doing business in Canada is not the same as selling in the United States. Canada has its own customs regime, bilingual labeling and packaging requirements, as well as federal and provincial sales taxes. Canada’s trade rules and regulations are transparent and relatively easy to comply with given the support and guidance that is readily available from the U.S. Commercial Service, as well as from many international business professionals and service providers.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) also makes trade easier and more lucrative for U.S. firms. Since NAFTA came into force in 1994, the United States and Canada have progressively eliminated tariff and nontariff barriers to trade in goods, improved access for services trade, established rules on investment, strengthened protection of intellectual property rights, and created an effective dispute settlement mechanism. In January 2008, Canada eliminated tariffs on all remaining industrial and most agricultural products imported from the United States. Today, over 95 percent of all trade passes across the border without incident or controversial trade restrictions, as a result of increased and continuing U.S. and Canadian harmonization of product standards.

Another tip for U.S. companies is to consider registering as a non-resident importer in order to replicate domestic sales transactions to the extent possible, and expand export sales in Canada.

Special Events

The U.S.-Canada Cross Border Initiative helps prospective U.S. exporters identify opportunities and address challenges for small and medium-sized firms. As part of this initiative, the Canada First Webinar Series will feature 10 programs on the nuts and bolts of doing business in Canada, beginning in the Fall of 2009. Topics include market opportunities in the different Canadian regions, NAFTA documentation and how companies can take advantage of the Non-Resident Importer Program. For more information, visit our website or contact CS trade specialists Eric Hsu or Tracey Ford.

RepCAN 2009 is our flag ship trade promotion event that provides U.S. small-to-medium sized, export-ready companies with an efficient, cost-effective opportunity to enter the Canadian market by finding prospective agents, distributors, end-users and joint venture partners. U.S. companies can participate in one or all three of the multi-sector matchmaker/exhibit stops – Toronto, Ontario on September 29; Montreal, Quebec on October 1; and Vancouver, British Columbia on October 6. Please visit our site for more information and to register by July 31.

One Company’s Success in Canada

Erda Leather is a Maine manufacturer of fabric and leather handbags. Recently, owner Patti Dowse decided to expand her business into the Canadian market and contacted CS Portland for assistance. Our CS Portland trade specialist worked with his colleagues in Vancouver and Calgary, Canada to arrange a matchmaking service. CS Canada conducted a search for qualified sales representatives and scheduled appointments for Ms. Dowse with several potential partners in British Columbia. One of the appointments was with Winning Edge Sales (W.E.S.), a company that supplies a large number of gift stores, resorts, ferry terminals and galleries throughout Western Canada.

As a direct result of Commercial Service support, Erda Leather signed a sales representative agreement with W.E.S. for Western Canada and wrote that: “We have tried before to open new marketing territories, and expect it to be a fairly lengthy process. By opening a few accounts on our own in the territory, to help establish some credibility, we knew we were ready to approach a representative. But, it would have taken us days or weeks to find the appropriate one. With [CS Canada’s] help, we did it in two days! We look forward to great success in our new territory!”

$7 Million Investment Scam

NEWNAN, GA—JEFFREY WALLACE “J.W.” EDWARDS, 43, of Bremen, Georgia, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering in connection with an alleged $7 million fraud scheme. EDWARDS was arrested this morning and has made an initial appearance before a federal magistrate. EDWARDS is scheduled to have his bond hearing before United States Magistrate Judge Linda Walker on Monday, May 18, at 10:00 a.m. The indictment had been sealed until his first court appearance.

United States Attorney David E. Nahmias said, “In this latest chapter in the long book of investment fraud schemes, a man who lives in a small town in west Georgia allegedly persuaded investors from around the country that with his secret government contacts and other plans, he could make their money multiply into millions. He will now be prosecuted in open court, where he is alleged to actually be just a thief who used lies to steal millions from his victims.”

IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Reginael McDaniel said, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. People should diligently check out claims of high rates of return before investing. They should not blindly follow the advice of one person, and should always get a second opinion.”

According to United States Attorney Nahmias, the charges and other information presented in court: Starting in early 2006, EDWARDS allegedly promised investors that they would receive returns of between 40 and 150 percent on the money they placed in his “high yield” investment programs. EDWARDS variously claimed to own a bank, to have access to confidential and lucrative investment opportunities, or to be a “special agent” of the Federal Reserve whom the United States Government had authorized to stimulate the economy with cash injections. Between February 2006 and February 2007, 31 investors mailed or electronically transferred over $7.4 million to EDWARDS, who allegedly spent the money on Haralson County real estate, vehicles, jewelry, fur coats, art, gambling trips to Las Vegas, and family cruises to Alaska, Hawaii and the Mediterranean. EDWARDS allegedly never invested any money, though he did make nominal payments to a few investors who persisted in asking to see their returns.

The indictment includes charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. The mail and wire fraud charges each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, and the money laundering charges each carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. In determining the actual sentence, the Court will consider the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which are not binding but provide appropriate sentencing ranges for most offenders

The indictment also includes a provision seeking to forfeit real estate, vehicles, and cash that allegedly were proceeds of the fraud scheme. Additionally, in June 2008, the Government filed forfeiture liens on EDWARDS’ real estate holdings, and it seized his Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Town Car, and Lincoln Mark LT pickup truck.

Members of the public are reminded that the indictment contains only allegations. A defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government’s burden to prove a defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

This case is being investigated by Special Agents of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Assistant United States Attorney William G. Traynor is prosecuting the case.

 

Bulgaria included in the EU exchange of criminal conviction certificates

Sofia. Bulgaria has already started exchanging criminal conviction certificates with authorities in Spain, Germany and France, as is was mentioned in a report of the Ministry of Justice.
The progress was made under an EU project, involving 14 Member States and 3 countries-observers.
Currently, tests are underway with Belgium and Luxembourg.
Bulgaria’s Ministry of Justice has also joined the Electronic Apostille (E-Apostille) program, by setting up a special register and e-version of the latter. Apostilles are used to validate the papers of Bulgarian citizens – diploma, driving license, property and company certificate, which they are to use abroad.

 

Seven Facts about the New Sales Tax Deduction for Vehicle Purchases

Taxpayers who buy a new car or several other types of motor vehicles this year may be entitled to a special tax deduction when they file their 2009 federal tax returns next year. The tax break is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Here are seven things you should know about this new deduction:

1. State and local sales taxes paid on up to $49,500 of the purchase price of qualifying vehicles are deductible.
2. Qualified motor vehicles generally include new (not used) cars, light trucks, motor homes and motorcycles.
3. Purchases must occur after Feb. 16, 2009, and before Jan. 1, 2010.
4. This deduction can be taken regardless of whether or not you itemize other deductions on your tax return.
5. Taxpayers will claim this deduction when filing their 2009 federal income tax return next year.
6. The amount of the deduction is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is between $125,000 and $135,000 for individual filers and between $250,000 and $260,000 for joint filers.
7. The deduction may not be taken on 2008 tax returns.

Consumers who are considering buying a new car may find that this tax incentive means there may have never been a better time to buy.

For more information about the sales and excise tax deduction for motor vehicle purchases visit the official IRS web site at IRS.gov.

 

Vice-President of Twin City Bank Sentenced to Prison for Bank Fraud and Money Laundering

United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, announced that Brent Geels, a former Senior Vice-President of Twin City Bank, was sentenced today to 57 months imprisonment on one count of bank fraud and one count of money laundering. The sentence was imposed on each count to run concurrent with one another. Geels was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,409,225.94 to Twin City Bank and its insurance company. Geels imprisonment is to be followed by 3 years of supervised release during which Geels is to perform 100 hours of community service.

“Addressing misconduct and self-dealing by bank officers and other insiders has always been an important priority of our office. It is even more so under the current economic circumstances in our country. Those who believe they can get away with fraud such as this will have to face justice and will ultimately serve a substantial sentence in prison,” stated Duke. Duke noted that Twin City Bank has been fully supportive and cooperative during the investigation. She added, “I understand that Twin City Bank has ensured that no customers suffered a loss as the result of Mr. Geels’ actions. Their prompt investigation and remedial action is to be commended.”

The fraud charges stem from transactions made by Geel over a number of years. During this time, Geels diverted approximately $1,237,037.65 into his own account. Additional transactions were used to pay fees or interest to Twin City Bank.

The money laundering charge to which Geels was sentenced concerned seven instances between 2004 and 2007 in which Geels transferred stolen funds exceeding $10,000 to his own account and used the funds to pay credit card charges. Under federal law, it is a crime to engage in a financial transaction with funds in excess of $10,000 when those funds were derived from specified unlawful activity, which includes bank fraud.

Geels pled guilty to the charges on December 8, 2008. In addition to pleading guilty to the charges, Geels also agreed that he is liable to Twin City Bank for restitution in the amount of $1,409,225.94. Under federal law, the Court is mandated to order restitution in a case of this nature.

The investigation and prosecution was a result of an investigation conducted by the Little Rock Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division. The case was prosecuted by Senior Legal Advisor Michael D. Johnson.

Once a document has been notarized by a Notary Public, and if it is to be used overseas, it may need to be apostilled. This means that the Notary's signature and seal are certified by the Government. The Government will then attach an apostille to the document.
