Managing Partner David Enterline speaks on East Asia Spotlight Webinar

David Enterline, Managing Partners at Enterline and Partners, and as senior associate with WTW – Taipei Commercial Law Firm, David recently participated in a “Webinar | East Asia Spotlight” organized by the Global Migration Section of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Joined by 3 other lawyers in the region: Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, David presented on key visa, work permit, and residency issues for foreign nationals coming to work and live in Taiwan.

As senior counsel with WTW – Taipei Commercial Law Firm, David often assists the firm to advise foreign nationals and foreign companies to bring their staff to Taiwan for short and long term work assignments. One of the highlights of David’s presentation was an introduction to the Taiwan Employment Gold Card which was created to attract highly skilled and successful foreign nationals to live and work in Taiwan. Professionals in the fields of 10 areas: Science and Technology; Economics; Education; Culture and Art; Sports; Finance; Law; Architecture; Digital and National Defense, may apply for the Employment Gold Card and obtain the privilege to work and live in Taiwan for between 1 and 3 years, and may then apply for extensions or may qualify for permanent residence.

USCIS To Implements the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) has announced an update to its Policy Manual that re-introduces a modified version of the 2020 Civics Test—now called the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test. The update, once adopted, will apply to applications for naturalization (Form N-400 Application for Naturalization) filed on or after October 20, 2025, and aims to reinforce the importance of civic knowledge, assimilation into the U.S. society, an understanding of the Constitution, laws, and founding principles of the United States. Why This Change Matters Naturalization is the process by which lawful permanent residents become U.S. citizens—gaining full rights and responsibilities in American society. Under Section 312 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”), most applicants must demonstrate both proficiency in the English language and knowledge of U.S. civics and government.

First, an investor files a Form I-526 or Form I-526E Petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service. Once the Petition is approved, an investor

EB-5 Petition and Application Fees Reduced by Court Order

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”)_ has posted a notice on its website that on November 12, 2025, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado issued a decision in Moody v. Noem staying certain EB-5 related petition and application fees that were implemented by the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) in its 2024 fee increases.
