Financial Business Solutions Worldwide voiced support for the USCIS Immigrant Investor Program

(1888PressRelease) June 24, 2009 - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today issued a guidance memorandum that provides USCIS adjudication officers with instructions related to the timing of job creation and the meaning of “full-time” positions in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.



Financial Business Solutions Worldwide stated officially that the promotion of job creation, regardless of the immigration status, was important in this economy's light and the job slots that were filled by immigrants were an important necessity.



The guidance memorandum update to the Adjudicator’s Field Manual (AFM) (see link to memo under Related Links on right side of this page), clarifies that for purposes of the Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur (Form I-526) adjudication and the job creation requirements, USCIS will consider the two-year period to begin six months after the adjudication of the Form I-526.



USCIS officers will ensure that the business plan filed with the Form I-526 reasonably demonstrates that the requisite number of jobs will be created by the end of the two-year period. For Regional Center petitions and for purposes of indirect job creation, USCIS adjudicators may consider economic models that rely on certain variables to show job creation and the amount of investment to determine whether the required infusion of capital or creation of direct jobs will result in a certain number of indirect jobs.



FBSW Officials declared that job creation causes were of the utmost importance within the company and that principals aiding this cause would be a very welcome sight at the submissions department.



USCIS also has concluded that certain direct and indirect jobs that would have previously been considered to be temporary or intermittent (such as construction jobs) may be considered as permanent jobs for Form I-526 and the Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions (Form I-829) purposes if the positions can be expected to last at least 2 years.



FBSW Officials encouraged the furthering of this cause and affirmed the USCIS's goals as a priority within the company.
