Increased Scrutiny of CCP Membership and Its Impact on Green Card Applicants

Feb 7, 2025 | Investor Visas

By: Joseph Barnett

Donald Trump ran his presidential campaign on a platform of changing our immigration system and has been clear in his goal to use all immigration tools and options to limit immigration – both legal and illegal – into the U.S.  He has also been adamant about barring “communists” and “Marxists” from entering the country.  The inadmissibility ground for membership in or affiliation with the Communist or any other totalitarian party, INA 212(a)(3)(D), is part of a broader set of laws passed by Congress to address threats to the safety and security of the United States.  We are therefore likely to see an increased scrutiny related to membership in the Chinese Communist Party in adjustment of status adjudications by USCIS, immigrant visa interviews at U.S. consulates abroad, and during naturalizations in 2025.

WR has written on this topic extensive and has helped numerous former Chinese Communist Party members obtain green card status.

10 Things to Know About the New EB-5 Reform Act

By:  Wolfsdorf Rosenthal LLP On March 8, 2018, a draft of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa and Regional Center Program Comprehensive Reform Act (the “EB-5 Reform Act”) was released.  This new proposal is similar to earlier congressional reform attempts but also includes new provisions that would dramatically affect the EB-5 industry – both in the short-term and long-term.  If passed, the Act would authorize the EB-5 Regional Center Program – currently set to expire on May 23, 2018 – until September 30, 2023.  This longer-term extension is welcome news, as it would provide the certainty that the EB-5 industry has lacked during the past few years. As of the publication of this blog, it does not appear that the EB-5 Reform Act has been formally introduced into Congress for debate or discussion.  Nevertheless, it’s possible that the legislation will be attached to the Omnibus bill that would fund the federal government through the remainder of the fiscal year, which is expected to be released this week.  It’s likely that if the EB-5 Reform Act is not passed in the next couple weeks, any legislative reform to the EB-5 Program before September 30, 2018 is unlikely. In summary, this may be […]
