I-912 Fee Waiver
USCIS has issued a new form named I-912 Request for Fee Waiver. Several categories of immigrants may file the form and request for a fee waiver. For a list of who may apply for a waiver, please read the instructions for Form I-912. In general, applicants who are filing for immigration benefits based on employment are not eligible for a waiver.
Normally, USCIS will grant the waiver if the applicants can show that they are receiving means-test benefits or are living at or under 150% of the federal povety guidelines. For those who are under financial stress such as unemployment or high medical expense, USCIS may grant a fee waiver if the applicant may provide sufficient information of the applicant's income and assets and a detailed description of the applicant's financial difficulties.

移民局頒布了新的豁免費用申請表I - 912。幾個不同類別的移民可以遞交此申請表要求豁免遞交移民申請的費用。至於誰可以申請豁免，請流覽移民局關於I - 912表格的說明。一般來說，工作移民的申請人是不能申請豁免費用的。
在一般情況下，如果申請人能夠證明他們正在接受援助，或生活在低於聯邦貧窮準則150％以下的水平，移民局將給予豁免。對於那些活在財政壓力下，如失業或需要支付高額醫療費用的人士，如果申請人可以提供足夠的資料，包括申請人的收入和資產以及能夠詳細說明申請人的經濟困難，移民局或會給予豁免。

More International Sudents Than Ever 國際學生創歷年新高
An annual report released by the Insitute of International Education (IIE) suggests that in the academic year of 2009-2010, there were 690,923 international students in universities and colleges in the U.S. This is a record high number of international students in American higher educational instutions. In addition, 23.6% of all international students are from Mainland China (18.5%), Taiwan (3.9%), and Hong Kong (1.2%). In other words, almost every 1 out of 4 international student in the U.S. is from a Chinese-speaking town! You may read the entire report, named Open Doors, online.
What does this information mean? This could mean that the State Department is fairly generous in issuing student visas to foreign nationals. Granted, the report fails to mention how many F-1 applicants have been turned down by the State Department. Nonetheless, the increase in number of international students shows that international students are welcome in higher institutions and the State Department is willing to issue more F visas to allow international students to study in the U.S. If you have ever considered attending college/university in the U.S. and your situation permits you to do so, now may be a good time to do that.

國際教育研究所(IIE)於星期一發表了一年一度關於國際學生在美國大專院校就讀的報告。該報告指出，在2009-2010學年期間，有690,923名國際學生在在美國的大學和學院就讀，創下歷年新高。另外，在國際學生當中，有23.6%來自中國(18.5%)、臺灣(3.9%)和香港(1.2%)。 換句話說，幾乎每4名國際學生中就有一位是來自說中文的家鄉! 你可以在此處閱讀整個報告。
這代表什麼呢？ 這可能意味著國務院放寬了對簽發學生簽證的限制。雖然報告沒有提及有多少F-1申請被國務院拒絕， 但是從國際學生總人數的增加可以知道，國際學生在美國的大專院校深受歡迎，而國務院亦願意簽發更多F簽證來配合這些院校的需求。 如果你正考慮到美國上大學而你的情況亦允許你這樣做，那現在可能是個好時機！

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Many international students would like to work in the U.S. after they graduate from an American institution. One of the easiest ways for them to do so is to apply for post-graduation optional practical training (OPT). The two most frequently asked questions regarding OPT are related to unemployment period and the nature of jobs that are permissible for an international graduate to take under OPT.
According to 8 CFR §214.2(f)(10)(ii)(E), an international graduate may not accumulate more than 90 days of unemployment during he OPT authorization. If the international graduate has obtained an STEM extension, the graduate may not accumulate more than 120 days of unemployment from the initial 12 months of OPT to the end of the STEM extension.
8 CFR §214.2(f)(10) states that "[a]n eligible student may request employment authorization for practical training in a position that is directly related to his or her major area of study." The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), a program administered by Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE), has elaborated what kind of jobs are permissible under OPT in a Policy Guidance issued on April 23, 2010. These jobs include working for multiple employers, paid employments, unpaid employments/internships, and even self-employment. Moreover, the OPT student can work either as a W-2 worker or an 1099 independent contractor. Thus, an OPT student has a large variety of jobs that he/she can choose from. The Policy Guidance has explanation on each type of employment, so those who are interested in applying for OPT should carefully review it.
Finally, 8 CFR §214.2(f)(12)(i) requires an OPT student to report to his/her school officials if there is a change of name, address, or employment status. When to report these changes are different for those who are under the initial OPT and those who are under the STEM extension. For those who are under the initial OPT authorization, SEVP "recommends the student to report any change within 10 business days[.]" supra, 7.3.1. of Policy Guidance. In contrast, a student under STEM extension must report any change in name, address, employer, employer's address, and/or loss of employment. 8 CFR §214.2(f)(12)(ii)(A). In addition, the student needs to provide a validation report to his/her school official every 6 months during the STEM extension. 8 CFR §214.2(f)(12)(ii)(B).

許多國際學生希望在畢業之後留下來在美國工作。其中一個最容易這樣做的方法是申請實習工作證(OPT)。 關於OPT的兩個最常見問題是與失業時間及工作的本質有關。
根據8 CFR §214.2(f)(10)(ii)(E)，一個國際畢業生不可以在他OPT期間積累超過90天的失業。 如果國際畢業生透過STEM計畫延長OPT，那麼從最初的OPT到延期的結尾不可以積累超過120天的失業時間。
8 CFR §214.2(f)(10)規定OPT的工作必須與國際畢業生就讀的專業有關。負責學生及交換生計畫的SEVP表示，這些OPT工作包括為多個雇主工作、有薪的工作、沒有薪水的工作或者實習、以及自僱。 另外， OPT學生可以是以W-2或者1099的身份工作。 因此， OPT學生其實有很多工作可以選擇。SEVP發出的政策指引對每一種就業的形式皆有解釋，因此有興趣申請OPT的學生應細心閱讀該文件。
最後，8 CFR §214.2(f)(12)(i) 規定持有OPT工作證的國際畢業生如果更改了姓名、地址、或就業情況必須向學校報告。什麼時候要報告這些變動會因人而異。所有持有OPT的畢業生， 應在上述變更後的10個工作天向學校報告有關的改動。透過STEM計畫延長OPT的國際畢業生但凡變更了姓名、地址、雇主、雇主地址、或失業，皆須要向學校報告，而且每6個月要向學校提供報告。

Definition of "American Firm or Corporation" for Preserving Residence Clarified
On October 20, 2010, the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) issued a precedent that clarifies the meaning of "American Firm or Corporation" in N-470 applications if the corporation in question is a publicly held company. Under current immigration law, a legal permanent resident (LPR) needs to file N-470 Application Preserve Residence for Naturalization Purpose if the LPR needs to be absent from the United States to work overseas for an employer that is an American firm or corporation. But how do we define "American firm or corporation" when the corporation is a publicly held company and its stocks are sold in the market? The AAO clarifies the law in this new precedent, Matter of Chawathe. In this decision, the AAO held that if a N-470 applicant can show that his/her employer is incorporated in the United States and its stocks are EXCLUSIVELY traded in the United States, then the N-470 applicant does not need to show that the majority of the corporation's shareholders are U.S. citizens (51% of shares are owned by U.S. citizens). As a result, many potential naturalization applicants who work for these publicly held and traded companies can have one fewer thing to worry about when they decide to work for their companies overseas.

在2010年10月20日，負責處理移民局上訴的行政上訴辦事處(AAO) 判下新的案例，闡明在N-470申請中「美國公司」的定義。根據現行法例，永久居民/綠卡持有人如果會因被美國公司雇主派往海外工作而無法滿足在美國連續居住五年的入籍條件，那他們應該到移民局遞交N-470申請表。但是在N-470申請中如果美國公司是一家上市公司，其股份可以在市場公開買賣，那麼申請人應如果證明他的雇主是一家美國公司？行政上訴辦事處(AAO) 在Matter of Chawathe一案中裁定N-470申請人只要能夠證明他們的雇主是一家上市公司，而公司是在美國註冊，及其股份只可以在美國買賣，那就已經可以證明其雇主是一所美國公司。這對很多N-470的申請人真是一項喜訊！

Election and Immigration Law 投票與移民法
The mid-election of 2010 is around the corner and many campaign volunteers are going around to ask people to complete voter registration and vote for the candidate/party they support. If you are not a U.S. citizen, please beware of this dangerous trap.
According to current law, only U.S. citizens are allowed to register and vote in a federal election in the United States. In other words, even permanent residents (i.e., green card holders) are not allowed to vote in a federal election, including presidential and congressional elections. If a non-citizen votes in a federal election, he/she is subject to deportation. A New York Times Article published on October 15, 2010 reports that a legal permanent resident from St. Kitts is currently being placed under deportation proceeding for voting in presidential elections in the past.
To muddy the waters, several municipalities allow legal permanent residents to vote in county or city elections. State legislatures can also adopt their own set of eligibility rules on statewide elections. Therefore, if you are a legal permanent resident and not a United States citizen, it may be wise for you to just stay at home and watch the elections on TV, unless the county office of where you reside have confirmed with you (preferably in writing) that you are eligible to vote as a non-citizen in a local election. Doing so can protect you and your family from unnecessary hardship.

2010年的中期選舉快將來到，很多不同的志願者都在馬不停蹄地為自己支持的候選人拉票及呼籲他人登記當選民。但是如果您不是美國公民，投票可以變成一個陷阱。
根據現行法例，只有美國公民可以在聯邦選舉中投票。換言之合法永久居民/綠卡持有人是不能在如總統或國會等聯邦選舉中投票。如果非公民在聯邦選舉中投票，他們有可能會被驅逐出境。紐約時報在十月十五日中便報導有一位來自聖基茨島的合法永久居民因為曾經在總統選舉中投票而面臨被驅逐出境的危險。
令情況更糟的是有一些地區及市政府容許非公民在地方市政府選舉中投票。另一方面，各州政府可以自行訂立州政府選舉的選民資格。因此，如果您並不是美國公民，除非您得到您所居住的郡政府的確認(最好是書面的確認)，您可以在某次選舉中投票，否則您應該留在家中，避免投票及因投票而惹來的問題。

2012 Diversity Visa Lottery Program 多國籍移民簽證計劃
If you are interested in the diversity lottery program for the fiscal year of 2012, you may start submitting application from October 5 to November 3, 2010. Like last year, 50,000 immigrant visas will be available under the program for the fiscal year of 2012. Result of the lottery will be made available on May 1, 2011.
Please notice that there are a couple of changes in this year's program. First of all, the State Department is reverting the registration period from 60 days to 30 days. Therefore, you would have less time to submit an application for the lottery and should act quickly.
Second, the State Department will not mail a selection notice to those who have been selected under the program. Moreover, the Kentucky Consular Center will not mail an interview notice as well. Instead, online notification and interview notice will be made through the Entry Status Check function at dvlottery.state.gov.
Finally, it is free to participate in the lottery. Only those who have been selected for interviews will have to pay a fee at the U.S. consulate or embassy at the time of the interview. The interviewee will have to pay $745 USD ($305 for immigrant visa fee and $440 for diversity visa fee).
If you wonder how well of a chance you can win to get an immigrant visa, it is not very high. For the fiscal year of 2011, the chance of winning was 1/320, or 0.31%. This year would probably be more or less the same.

申請人請注意今年美國國務院對計劃所作出的改變。首先，今年的申請期限由60天縮短至30天。因此申請人會比去年少了一些時間準備其申請。
其次，國務院不會將中籤通知書寄給被抽中的幸運兒。肯塔基領事中心也不會將面談通知書寄給符合資格的申請人。取而代之的是申請人需到國務院多國籍移民簽證計劃的網址，輸入在遞交申請表時得到的個人申請號碼，自行檢查是否被抽中及面談時間。
多國籍移民簽證計劃是免費參加的。只有符合資格而被選中面談的申請人需在前往美國駐海外的領事館面談的時候繳交$745美元的申請費(包括$305移民簽證申請費及格$440的多國籍移民簽證計劃申請費)。
透過多國籍移民簽證計劃成功被抽中的機會不算太高。在2011年的財政年度，有一千六百萬申請人爭奪五萬個簽證配額(每一個配額有三百二十個申請人爭奪)，即中籤機會大概有0.31%。
