U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Provides Clarification for O-1 Petitions.
Policy guidance from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services clarifies how the agency evaluates evidence to determine eligibility for O-1A nonimmigrants of extraordinary ability, with a focus on petitions filed by STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) professionals.
To summarize, the update explains that when evaluating whether an individual of extraordinary ability is coming to work in their “area of extraordinary ability,” officers will give attention to whether the prospective work includes skillsets, knowledge, or expertise shared with the occupation(s) in which the individual obtained merits.

U.S. Northern and Southern borders are requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
In early January, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that they would extend this requirement to travelers who have been allowed to enter the US during the pandemic.
Starting 01/22/2022, the U.S. Northern and Southern borders are requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination for land and ferry crossings, with the exception of US citizens and permanent residents.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the availability
of more H-2B visas for the first
half of the fiscal year.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) reported the accessibility of 20,000 extra H-2B transitory nonagricultural specialist visas for the primary portion of the financial year (FY) 2022. These visas are for U.S. businesses that are confronting hopeless outlooks without extra laborers and trying to utilize extra specialists at the very latest on March 31, 2022.
The H-2B program licenses businesses to briefly recruit noncitizens to perform nonagricultural work or administrations in the United States. The business should be for a restricted timeframe, like a one-time event, occasional, or irregular need. Employers looking to enlist H-2B specialists should find a progression of ways to test the U.S. work market.

We are thrilled for our client!
This month, we were finally able to issue our client's settlement check. Our client was involved in a car accident on the job, sustaining injuries that significantly limited his ability to continue working. After the accident, he required prolonged treatment for his pain, accruing a hefty amount of medical bills and debt. Not only did we help negotiate and reduce his bills, but we were also able to help settle his claim for the full limit of his auto policy!
If you or someone you know has been involved in a car accident, call Mubarak Law today for a free consultation. We speak your language and take no money unless you win.

Mistakes After a Car Accident That You Need to Avoid
A car accident can make a person's life very difficult. Not only do you have to pay for repairs to your car, but you also lose valuable work and personal time, and you can be injured and face complicated legal consequences. It is common to make mistakes that could make things even worse. Try to avoid these:
- Not calling the authorities
- Leaving the scene of the car accident
- Moving your vehicle
- Not hiring a lawyer
- Accepting an agreement without consulting a car accident attorney
- Waiting too long to seek medical care
