Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every single year. From 1994–2023, they generated a $14.5 trillion surplus for public finances. Without immigrants, U.S. public debt would reach 205% of GDP, nearly double today’s level.

Our analysis in this paper shows that immigrants generated a fiscal surplus of about $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023, that the average immigrant is much less costly than the average US-born American, and that immigrants impose lower costs per person on old-age benefit, education, and public safety....

Reminder - U.S. federal law requires all Green Card holders aged 18 and older to carry their permanent resident card at all times. Failure to comply may result in a fine or a misdemeanor charge. This case is a strong reminder to stay cautious: always keep your Green Card with you and ensure your address and immigration records are up to date. Form AR-11 (https://www.uscis.gov/ar-11) must be filed each time you move.
*****************************
Rappel - La loi fédérale américaine impose à tout détenteur de carte verte âgé de plus de 18 ans de porter sa carte de résident permanent en permanence. Le non-respect de cette obligation peut entraîner une amende ou être considéré comme une infraction mineure. Cet incident rappelle l’importance de rester vigilant : gardez toujours votre Green Card sur vous et veillez à ce que vos adresses et documents soient à jour. Le formulaire AR-11 (https://www.uscis.gov/ar-11) doit être rempli à chaque changement d’adresse.

On September 19, 2025, President Trump issued a proclamation requiring a $100,000 fee for anyone seeking to enter or reenter the United States in H-1B status. The proclamation, titled Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers, took effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on September 21, 2025, and is set to expire after one year, though it may be extended.

This measure applies only to H-1B workers who are outside of the United States and whose petitions are filed after September 21, 2025.

According to USCIS, CBP, and the Department of State, the proclamation does not apply to:
– Beneficiaries of petitions filed before September 21, 2025
– Beneficiaries of currently approved petitions
– Individuals who already hold valid H-1B visas
– Current H-1B visa holders traveling in and out of the United States

No visas have been revoked, and renewals or extensions remain subject to the existing fee structure. The new $100,000 fee is a one-time charge, applying only to new petitions filed after the effective date. National Interest Exemptions may apply on a case-by-case basis.

While we now have some initial clarity, a number of important implementation questions remain unanswered, including:

– Whether visas will be issued for renewals, changes of employer, amended petitions, cap-exempt petitions, or for H-1B1s filed after the effective date without fee payment
– Whether extensions of stay applications (including changes of employer or amended petitions for those already in lawful H-1B status) or change of status applications filed on or after September 21, 2025, will be adjudicated without payment of the new fee
– Whether cap-exempt employers will be subject to the ban and the $100,000 fee, given references in the proclamation to the H-1B lottery
– How, in practice, the new fee will be paid, and what proof of payment will be required
– Whether the new fee will apply to H-4 dependents
– What documentation H-1B visa holders will need to present to CBP to demonstrate compliance with the proclamation

The Departments of State, Homeland Security, Justice, and Labor are expected to issue additional guidance in the coming weeks and months.

My team and I will continue to monitor developments closely and provide timely updates as new information is released. Employers and employees considering H-1B filings or travel should proceed with caution and stay informed as the situation evolves.

Administrative Reminder – Alien Registration Requirement for foreign nationals

Foreign nationals residing in the United States are subject to certain registration obligations, including updating their biographic information and address with U.S. immigration authorities.
The requirement to submit a G-325R may apply in several situations, particularly to:
- certain individuals present in the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa,
- or those who have received an immigrant visa, including cases where a child turns 14 while residing in the United States.
USCIS outlines the applicable rules and offers a tool to check whether you are subject to this requirement:
👉 https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration
If you are unsure whether this applies to your situation or that of a family member, it is strongly recommended to check the USCIS website.
