The closure also means a reduction in admission taxes the city collects from the venue due to no events booked. That loss is estimated to total $150,000 from January to June, resulting in a net impact this fiscal year of $171,115.
The current investments amount of $800,000 and $1,050,000 will remain constant for the next 5 years until January 1, 2027. Starting from 2027, and every 5 years thereafter, the investment amount will adjust based on a formular using the Consumer Price Index.
One Year From Expiration, ‘New START’ Remains in Limbo
Applications submitted prior to June 30, 2021 have been held in limbo since USCIS stopped the processing of Form I-526 petitions. USCIS will now restart the process of reviewing and processing initial applications, Form I-485 adjustment of status applications and RFE responses. Consulates will also begin to schedule interview for EB-5 related immigrant visas again. All of the above changes only apply to new Form I-526 applications.
Congress has also considered the almost 9 months wait caused by the program expiring that investors had to endure and included in the Act language that will protect all investors who file petitions on or before September 30, 2026 (one year before the next program expiration date), should the program expire in 2027. The new language will protect incoming investors who join the program while it is still active and prevent similar limbo waiting periods from happening again.
Currently, counsel in the Batalla Vidal case is analyzing potential next steps. The most recent court action in Batalla Vidal took place on August 3, 2022. With Congress having failed to act and a proposed new DACA regulation still unfinalized, the Batalla Vidal plaintiffs (a nationwide class of all those who hold DACA or are DACA eligible) asked the New York court for relief for the approximately 100,000 individuals whose applications for first-time DACA, or renewal where their previous DACA expired more than one year ago, are stalled. Those individuals applied for DACA after the court ordered the government to re-open DACA for first-time applicants in December 2020, but whose applications were pending when a Texas federal court ordered the government to stop granting initial DACA applications in July 2021. We explained to the New York court that there is a space between the New York order and the Texas order that would allow the New York court to provide meaningful relief to the 100,000 first-time DACA applicants and lapsed renewal applicants who applied during that period and whose applications are still in limbo.

Tens of thousands of Afghans who fled to the United States will remain in limbo after Congress dropped legislation that would grant them a path to legal permanent residency from a major government spending bill, leading advocates for refugees to accuse the U.S. government of abandoning its commitments to its Afghan allies.
More than 30 retired top military officers and former U.S. ambassadors to Afghanistan joined a grassroots campaign to push Congress to pass the legislation, the Afghan Adjustment Act, as part of a massive omnibus spending bill before the end of the year. Advocates argue that the act would help save the roughly 70,000 Afghans in the United States from the risk of deportation before their temporary humanitarian parole status expires in 2023.
But opposition from at least one major Republican lawmaker in the Senate scuttled those efforts, and the final bill released Tuesday did not include the act. Supporters saw the omnibus bill as the last chance to pass the act in the current Congress. The act now faces an uncertain future in the new year, as the new Congress will take power with a log-jammed legislative schedule and other competing priorities.
Refugee advocates say that by failing to include the act in the omnibus spending bill, Congress is failing the Afghans it vowed to help protect after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
U.S. lawmakers scrambled in behind-the-scenes, last-minute negotiations to include other provisions for Afghans seeking a way to come to the United States, separate from and despite the setbacks for advocates of the Afghan Adjustment Act. As a result of those negotiations, the omnibus bill includes a provision to expand the number of Afghans allowed into the country through the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program by 4,000, from 34,500 to 38,500. The SIV program was set up to give Afghans who risked their lives aiding U.S. war efforts, such as interpreters for the U.S. military, to permanently resettle in the United States. The program has been plagued with bureaucratic backlogs and red tape for years.
The third situation concerns British residents who started living in Portugal last year (before the end of the transition period) but are not yet registered. In this situation, the Consular Policy Officer explains that these people are protected under the agreement that ran until 31 December, 2020.
If you are in this situation, you must email brexit@sef.pt to request registration, attaching documents that prove that you started living in Portugal last year. You must include a scanned copy of your passport, proof of address and a proof that you were living in Portugal before January 2021.
After more than two years of contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through online forms, emails and calls, he says he still only receives boilerplate responses from the department.
IRCC says it has experienced processing delays amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. But nearly two years into it, most of the department's in-person offices remain closed. And many applicants told CBC News they feel stuck in limbo, with no clear way to check on their files.
Kalash Gera, a software engineer in Saskatoon, submitted his PR application one year ago in hopes of bringing his spouse here from India. He says his plans of buying a house and starting a family are delayed.
In May 2019, a jury convicted Sorokin on charges of theft, larceny, and attempted theft and larceny for the scheme. She was released from a New York jail in February 2021 after serving three-and-a-half years of a four-year sentence, which included time she spent at Rikers Island jail ahead of her trial.
If he takes no action, the bill becomes law, although this rarely is the case, because the governor typically wants to have the ultimate say in approving or nixing a bill. Only once in the last two dozen years has a governor allowed a bill to become law without his signature: Former Gov. Jon Corzine permitted to become law a bill exempting certain manufacturing facilities from paying some taxes and energy charges for seven years.
Except for when a government agency is sued, there is almost always at least one year from the date of an event to start a case no matter what type of claim it is. You should have no statute of limitations worries if you file your case within this one-year period.
But the output from BLM offices in states like New Mexico and Wyoming has gradually declined, and overall permit approvals have dropped after particularly high outputs in the spring and early summer of last year, according to the data.
