Yesterday, President Trump announced intentions to offer a new “Gold Card” with a pathway to US citizenship for a $5 million investment. While the administration notes the "Gold Card" would replace the EB-5 program, they may ultimately co-exist, offering an additional pathway to residency and citizenship for ultra-high-net-worth investors through a donation-based model. ➡️ Learn more about this announcement and the future of the EB-5 program in this blog post by Partner Rahul Soni: https://bit.ly/3Xk8h5s 🔗 #TrumpGoldCard #GoldCard #USImmigration #EB5 #EB5Visa #EB5Program #InvestmentMigration #HNW #GreenCard

Manager Andreia Ghimis highlights in The Telegraph the ongoing impact of border checks in the Schengen Area. With 27 borders now requiring passport controls, Andreia explains how EU law permits these checks for up to two years in exceptional situations. Despite the European Commission's goal to preserve free movement, Andreia discusses its reluctance to enforce rules against countries extending these measures. As the migration crisis continues to affect travel, travellers may face delays – a new norm for those crossing borders in Europe. https://bit.ly/4hRkDKB #Schengen #EU #Travel #GlobalMobility

In Front Office, Partner Aaron Blumberg discusses the potential immigration risks for international NCAA athletes if the House v. NCAA settlement is approved in April, which would introduce a system of revenue-sharing between Division I schools and athletes for the first time in college sports history. If the system is implemented, international athletes on student visas could face visa violations by accepting these payments. After urging athletes and schools to assess their options carefully amid growing immigration scrutiny, Aaron suggests athletes could classify the payments as “passive” income to mitigate risk.
