DHS to Begin Screening Foreign Nationals Social Media Activity for Antisemetism

Effective immediately, the United States Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) will begin considering a foreign national’s antisemetic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying immigration benefits.

The new policy, which is consistent with President Donald Trump’s Executive Orders on Combatting Antisemetism, Additional Measures to Combat Antisemitism and Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats; will apply to foreign nationals applying for an adjustment of status, foreign students on F-1 and M-1 student visas and those affiliated with educational institutions linked to antisemetic activity.

The United States Department of State provides a working definition of antisemitism as “certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred towards Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestation of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions or religious facilities.”

Under the new policy, DHS will consider social media content that indicates a foreign national endorsing, espousing, promoting or supporting antisemetic terrorism, antisemetic terrorist organizations, and other antisemetic activities as a negative factor in any USCIS discretionary analysis when adjudicating immigration benefits.

Green Card Through Investment: Is the EB-5 Visa Worth It for Vietnamese Investors?

For many Vietnamese families, the EB-5 “Immigrant Investor” visa is one of the most direct ways to pursue U.S. lawful permanent residence (“Green Card”). However, EB-5 is not simply a matter of investing money and receiving a Green Card. Instead, it is a highly regulated U.S. immigration visa category with detailed requirements. Vietnamese investors should understand the investment amount, Source of Funds (“SOF”) documentation, the path of funds in making the investment, Project risks, processing timeline, and consular process before deciding whether EB-5 is worth it. In 2026, this decision is especially important as the required EB-5 investment is substantial. Moreover, for Vietnamese citizens, local issues such as real estate proceeds, business income, currency transfers, and interview processing can all affect the case. Enterline and Partners helps Vietnamese investors evaluate EB-5 eligibility, prepare source of funds documentation, and plan the next steps toward a Green Card through investment. Managing Partner

What is the World Cup Visa and FIFA Pass and Do These Allow Fans to Go to the U.S. to Attend Matches?

What Is the “World Cup Visa”? Many fans planning to attend the FIFA World Cup wonder whether a special “World Cup visa” is required. The answer is no. The United States, Canada, and Mexico do not issue a separate visa for World Cup attendees. Every fan hoping to attend a match in any of these countries must comply with the standard immigration and entry requirements of the country. No Special World Cup Visa Exists The FIFA World Cup is a major sporting event, but attending a match does not create a special visa category. Everyone who travels to watch World Cup matches must follow the regular entry rules of that country. For example: Travelers should check the entry rules before the tournament, as visa processing times can vary significantly. A Match Ticket Is Not a Visa Many people believe that buying a World Cup ticket allows them to enter the

USCIS Proposes EB-5 Regulations to the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) has published aNotice of Proposed Rulemaking that would formally implement regulations to the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) governing the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program and the EB-5 Regional Center Program. The proposed regulations represent the most significant regulatory update to the EB-5 program since Congress enacted the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act in 2022. Although USCIS has already been administering the program under the RIA for several years, many of its existing regulations predate the legislation. The proposed regulations are intended to bring the current regulations into conformity with current law and provide greater clarity for EB-5 investors, Regional Centers, developers, and immigration practitioners. Interested parties may submit comments on the proposed regulations through August 31, 2026. What Is the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022?
