USCIS to Increase Premium Processing Fees for Forms I-129 and I-140

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is scheduled to increase I-129 and I-140 premium processing fees from US$1410 to US$1440. The increase, which is scheduled to take effect on December 2, 2019, reflects the full amount of inflation from the implementation of premium processing fees in June 2001 through August 2019. The agency’s last increase was on October 1, 2018 which increased premium processing from US$1225 to the current US$1410.

Premium processing is available for certain for certain authorized petitioners filing Forms I-129 Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker and I-140 Petition for Alien for Alien Workers. The optional service allows petitioners to request a 15-day processing of these forms which is paid in addition to the base filing fee and any applicable fees.

If you have any questions about Form I-129 and Form I-140, please contact us at

Vietnamese Passport Name Order: Common Issues with U.S. Immigration Documents

Many Vietnamese citizens face challenges when their names are listed incorrectly on U.S. immigration documents such as visas and Green Cards. This often happens because the naming style also known as the Vietnamese passport name order follows the format: Given/ Surname name → Middle name → Given name, which differs from the Western order of Given/ Surname name → First name → Middle name. Why Name Order Errors Happen?

These errors may cause inconsistencies between your passport, visa, and Green Card, which can lead to complications with government records, employment, or travel documents.

What Is Capital In The RIA?

In the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”), the definition of “Capital” as an investment for EB-5 has been updated.  Capital includes cash, as well as any real, personal, or mixed tangible assets that are owned and controlled by the investor and which are invested in, or contributed into, the business.

Capital must be evaluated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or other SEC-adopted standard accounting procedures at the time of investment, at fair market value in U.S. dollars.
