  • H-1B政策再收紧:10万美元费用与裁员雇主审查成为重点

    美国移民律师协会(AILA)于2026年9月23日发布最新执业警示(Practice Alert),介绍白宫于2026年9月18日发布的总统公告(Presidential Proclamation)及行政命令(Executive Order)。两项总统行动均针对H-1B项目,未来可能进一步加强对H-1B雇主、申请案件以及签证申请的审查。 一、H-1B“10万美元费用”政策再次被延长,但法律效力仍存在争议 2026年9月18日发布的总统公告延长了2025年的相关政策,即针对人在美国境外、申请H-1B专业职业身份(H-1B Specialty Occupation)的外国工作者,继续要求缴纳100,000美元费用。 但是,该费用目前仍面临重大法律争议。 在 State of California v. Mullin 一案中,联邦地区法院已经裁定该H-1B 10万美元费用违法。随后,美国第一巡回上诉法院(First Circuit)拒绝了联邦政府要求暂停地区法院裁定效力的申请(Motion to Stay)。 因此,目前该10万美元费用在实际操作中究竟如何执行,仍存在不确定性。 AILA同时指出,部分律师反映,一些未缴纳10万美元费用而提交的H-1B申请目前仍未得到审理(lack of adjudication)。因此,在法院诉讼与政府实际执行之间,目前仍存在明显的不确定状态。 二、新行政命令要求多个联邦部门联合加强H-1B审查 新的行政命令名称为: “Enhancing Program Integrity and Interagency Coordination in the Administration [...]

  • 美国移民法庭庇护拒绝率飙升至94%

    移民法官队伍大规模重组,2026年庇护获批率降至历史低点 美国移民法庭的庇护案件正在发生显著变化。最新数据显示,随着移民法庭审理案件数量大幅增加,庇护申请的批准率却持续下降。 截至2026年6月,全美移民法官审理的庇护案件中,94.1%被拒绝,获批率仅为5.5%,创下历史新低。 一、2026年6月仅771人获得庇护 数据显示,2026年6月,全美只有771人获得移民法官批准的庇护(Asylum),这一数字还不到三年前同期的四分之一。 与此同时,移民法庭正在加快处理庇护案件。2026年3月和6月,单月完成的庇护案件均超过14,000件;4月和5月也分别超过13,000件。 案件处理速度加快,但批准数量持续减少,直接导致庇护拒绝率大幅上升。 2026年6月的案件结果为: 庇护获批:5.5% 庇护被拒:94.1% 庇护被拒但获得其他移民救济:0.4% 二、移民法官队伍发生大规模变化 庇护批准率下降的一个重要背景,是美国移民法庭法官队伍正在经历大规模调整。 根据美国移民审查执行办公室(EOIR)的记录,在2025至2026财政年度,共有279名移民法官被解职或离职。 这一数字相当于2024财政年度末735名移民法官总人数的约38%。 相比之下,在拜登政府执政的2021至2024财政年度,每年平均约有5%的移民法官离开法官岗位。 与此同时,特朗普政府今年已经任命: 192名新的移民法官,另有53名临时移民法官加入。 2026财政年度,共有743名法官作出过庇护案件裁决,其中只有322人,也就是约43%,是在特朗普总统本届任期开始前已经担任移民法官的。 换句话说,目前负责审理庇护案件的移民法官队伍已经发生了非常明显的人员变化。 三、原有移民法官的拒绝率也明显提高 值得注意的是,庇护拒绝率上升并不仅仅发生在新任命的移民法官中。 研究人员分析了130名从2021年至2026年一直持续审理庇护案件的移民法官。 结果显示,其中约四分之三的法官在2026年的庇护拒绝率高于2021年。 这些法官的拒绝率平均上升了33个百分点,中位数上升了28个百分点。 这说明庇护案件整体裁判趋势正在发生变化,而不仅仅是法官人员更替造成的结果。 四、庇护批准率已经连续多年下降 庇护批准率的下降并非始于2026年。 数据显示,庇护批准率在拜登政府时期已经开始持续下降。拜登任期早期,庇护批准率曾超过50%;到其任期结束时,已经下降至约32%。 进入特朗普政府后,这一趋势继续加速。 到2026年6月,全国移民法庭的庇护批准率已经降至5.5%,拒绝率则达到94.1%。 五、申请人应如何看待94%的拒绝率? 需要特别说明的是,94.1%的全国拒绝率并不意味着每一个庇护申请人的个人案件都有94%的概率被拒绝。 庇护案件的结果仍然受到很多因素影响,包括: 申请人的具体事实和证据; [...]

  • 【移民新规】绿卡“公共负担”审查收紧!食品券、住房补助、大学助学金等可能被纳入考量

      美国移民局(USCIS)于2026年8月18日发布最新政策指导,调整绿卡申请中的“公共负担”(Public Charge)审查标准。新政策将于2026年9月18日正式生效。 此前,美国国土安全部(DHS)已经废除拜登政府2022年的公共负担规定。USCIS表示,新政策强调移民应当具备自给自足的能力,而不是依赖由纳税人资助的政府福利。 哪些绿卡申请人受影响? 原则上,在美国境内提交I-485申请绿卡的人,只要其移民类别没有获得法律豁免,都可能受到公共负担审查。 常见的受影响类别包括: 美国公民的配偶、子女和父母 美国公民的成年未婚子女、已婚子女 美国公民的兄弟姐妹 绿卡持有人的配偶及子女 美国公民的未婚夫/妻(K-1) EB-1职业移民 EB-2高学历或特殊能力人才 EB-3技术工人、专业人士及其他工人 投资移民 宗教工作者 Diversity Visa等类别。 但是,难民、庇护获得者、特殊青少年移民(SIJ)、T签证人口贩卖受害者、U签证犯罪受害者、VAWA自行申请人等类别通常不受公共负担条款限制。 USCIS将审查五大因素 USCIS在判断一个申请人未来是否可能成为公共负担时,将综合考虑五项法定因素: 年龄、健康状况、家庭状况、资产及经济状况、教育程度和职业技能。 此外,对于需要提交I-864经济担保书的案件,USCIS也可以把I-864 Affidavit of Support纳入整体审查。 因此,今后申请绿卡,不能简单认为“担保人收入达到125%贫困线就一定没有公共负担问题”。 最大变化:食品券、住房补助、大学助学金等都可能被考虑 此次政策最值得注意的变化,是USCIS扩大了可以考虑的政府福利范围。 新政策明确列举: 现金生活补助(Cash Assistance) 住房补助(Housing Assistance) [...]
