What is the Green Card?
Large numbers of people enter the U.S. from other countries on a daily basis. Some people are returning home after being away for some time, some are coming to visit their family, some on a holiday, some for work and some move permanently to settle down in the U.S. Whatever may be the reason, each person who is entering the U.S. should possess the right documents to prove that they are legally allowed to enter the country.
Many people are permitted to enter the country only for a specified time and that too for a specific purpose only. People who are on a vacation to the U.S. may be permitted to enter for a few weeks only and purely for tourist activities. They would not be allowed to work in the US. There are instances where some people would be permitted to enter for a few years at a time for work but this could be restricted to a certain employer. People who are moving to the U.S. under this category are called non-immigrants.
People who live and work in the U.S. without any restrictions are called immigrants. They are permitted to stay in the U.S. for an unlimited period of time, to participate in any legal activity, to work and also to study. Generally, immigrants refer to a select number of foreign nationals who have been permitted to live and work in the U.S. permanently.
Both Immigrants and Non-Immigrants must show a valid visa before they enter the US. A visa is similar to a pass. An immigrant who has gained entry to the U.S. would be issued an Alien Registration Card which is also known as a Green Card. Early editions of the card were light green in color and hence the term. Present day cards are either pink or light blue. A person with a Green Card is called a Lawful Permanent Resident.
There are various options for applying for permanent residency either from inside the country or from another foreign country. Regardless of how a person becomes one, every Lawful Permanent Resident gets to enjoy the unrestricted right to live in the country for an unlimited period of time and pursue any legal activity that they desire.
What is Green Card Renewal?
Once a person has been issued a Green Card, there is no need for them to do anything else to extend or ensure their status in the country. It is not easy to lose the Permanent Residency status without purposefully doing something to either renounce it or go against the sole purpose behind getting that status.
Present day cards are valid for 10 years. Even though a Green Card has an expiration date, the Permanent Resident status of a person never expires. The card itself is similar to an identification card and is just the official documentation of the permanent residency status.
What Happens When a Green Card Expires?
Green Card holders who are over 18 yrs of age are required to carry a valid green card at all times. Failing to do so may result in their being convicted with a fine of up to $100, 30 days in jail, or both. After the September 11 attacks, the US government is very strict regarding these kinds of legal violations.
Getting your permanent resident card renewed ensures that it is up to date with all the newest security features incorporated by the government. Possessing an expired card makes it difficult to prove the legal status, to accept employment offers or to obtain benefits. It also makes it difficult to gain re-entry into the U.S. after any international travel.
When Should the Renewal Application be Filed?
Applications to renew the Green Cards can be filed as much as six months before the date of expiry of the card.
Polish your professionalism. The format of your message, the content, the grammar, and spelling are critical to getting your message read. Use bullets and numbered lists and keep the number of bullets or numbered items to 7 or less. Always use your spell checker and have someone else proof read your message before it goes out. Spell check doesn’t know the difference between to, too, or two.
2. Lead with benefits that address their pain, problems and fears. Busy attorneys are looking for people, products, and services to provide benefits help them resolve their pain, problems and fears. They only care about how your product or service will help them. They don’t care how long you’ve been in business or how great your product is. Explain the benefits of your product or service.
3. Be brief, to the point. Attorneys are busy delivering their own goods and services as well as running their business. Get the critical part of your message at the top or above the fold. Tell them up front how you will solve their problem and make your contact information easy to find.
4. Do it in writing. If you call an attorney you may find that you can’t get past their secretary. Get your message into their hand in a letter that is hand-signed or with a professionally designed postcard or even an email. Text messaging is emerging as a marketing channel, also.
5. Make your email smartphone friendly. Today, smart phones are becoming more and more powerful and being used in more ways by more people. You can bet that professionals are using them, too. They’re checking email when they’re running from meeting to meeting or client to client. They want to read their messages quickly and that means don’t waste your time or their time by trying to send fancy graphics-laden HTML emails. They won’t read them.
The Immigration Asylum & Nationality Act 2006 is the fifth major piece of legislation in the field of asylum and immigration since 1993.
Commencement
The Immigration Asylum & Nationality Act 2006 received Royal Assent on the 30th March 2006 and by virtue of a second commencement order, the main provisions took effect on 31 August 2006 by virtue of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 (Commencement No.2) Order 2006.
Appeals
The first sections of the Act are concerned with appeals and impose new restrictions on the right to appeal against Home Office asylum or immigration decisions. The most significant is section 4 which limits the right of appeal against refusal of entry clearance to cases in which the application for entry clearance was made either for the purpose of entering as a dependant or a visitor – in both cases limited by reference to regulations made by the Home Secretary. Significantly, there will no longer be a right of appeal against refusal of entry clearance as a student.
Section 1 inserts a new section 83A into the Immigration, Nationality and Asylum Act 2002 to introduce a new right of appeal for people who are no longer recognised as refugees but who are permitted to stay in the UK on some other basis. Section 2 amends section 82(2)(g) of the 2002 Act to provide a right of appeal against a decision to remove under section 10(1)(b) of the 1999 Act. This will give the person a separate right of appeal at each of the two decision stages; the first at the revocation stage and the second at the stage the decision to remove is taken. Section 3 amends section 84 of the 2002 Act. It provides that an appeal under the new section 83A may only be brought on the ground that removal would breach the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Refugee Convention. Section 4 substitutes one provision for Sections 88A, 90 and 91 of the 2002 Act which limits all appeals against refusal of entry clearance to limited grounds (human rights and race discrimination), with the exception of those listed in the categories. By section 6 a person may not appeal against refusal of leave to enter the United Kingdom unless: (1) on his arrival in the United Kingdom he had entry clearance and (2) the purpose of entry specified in the entry clearance is the same as that specified in his application for leave to enter. Section 89 of the 2002 Act restricts rights of appeal against refusal of permission to enter at the port of both visitors and students who do not hold an entry clearance. This restriction limits the grounds of appeal to human rights and race discrimination. If the appeal is exercised in the UK it is restricted to asylum. A right of appeal remains in all cases on both human rights and race discrimination grounds.
Section 7 provides powers to hear only human rights aspects of national security appeal cases in country with the national security aspects of the case.
Employment
Section 15 imposes civil (and not criminal) penalties in the form of fines on employers of persons over the age of 16 subject to immigration control in defined circumstances. A person is subject to immigration control if he requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom under the provisions of the Immigration Act 1971. The defined circumstances are that:
Since the market generally caters to the needs of the consumers, the whopping number of travel companies and travel guides speaks volumes about the need for traveling. With 195 official countries in the world and each having its own unique culture, customs and traditions, traveling is a surely a way of increasing ones awareness of the lives of other people.
The main benefit of globe trotting is knowledge and awareness. However, people may travel for different reasons and those bitten by wanderlust only need an excuse to travel. Besides business, people may like to travel for leisure during holidays. They may like to move away from the crowds and din of city life to a more calm and quiet place such as hilly regions. They would like to travel just for fun and recreation or for exploring new places.
The billion-dollar tourism industry is am ample proof of how much people like to travel. Travel has its own charms for the nature lovers. Many of us can boast of staying in the lap of luxury but there are very few who can boast of staying in the lap of nature. Traveling gives the nature lovers a chance be surrounded by mist and clouds, hear a nightingale sing or build a sand castle on a seashore.
While discussing the reasons why people love to travel we cannot ignore the food lovers who like to sample the cuisine from different parts of the world.
The growing threat of global warming has lead to the emergence of the new concept of ecotourism. Ecotourism can be described as a nature-based tourism that helps in safeguarding the interest of our fragile planet. The eco-traveler visits natural areas while taking care not to affect the integrity of the ecosystem.
So generally speaking people travel for the following reasons:
* Business
* Leisure
* Exploring different places
* Sampling the cuisines
* Soothing their tired souls after hectic schedules.
* Being close to the nature
Besides these reasons there is another unusual reason and that is the curative effect of travel. An incident that proves the therapeutic effect of travel is about a man who had only one year left to live due to an incurable heart disease.
Instead of spending his time in misery he decided to go backpacking with his wife. In the absence of the stress of his demanding job and the daily grind of life the mans health improved to the extent that he became normal.
Such incidences show how taking out some time to travel to some peaceful place can heal the body, mind and the soul. However, in order to make most of the healing effect of travel or to make the most of it, it is necessary to leave all the worries behind.

Department of Immigration and Citizenship in Australia announces changes to the Australian immigration programs when ever they feel it is necessary. They had introduced a new immigration online application called SkillSelect. The program was rolled on the 1st of July 2012. The application will help the department to take visa decision quickly and efficiently.
Before July 2012, Australian immigration used to have six skilled migrant Australian visa subclasses:
1.Visa Applications in Australia
subclass 885 (skilled independent)
subclass 886 (skilled nominated/sponsored)
subclass 487 (skilled regional sponsored)
2. Visa Applications outside Australia
subclass 175 (skilled independent)
subclass 176 (skilled nominated/sponsored)
subclass 475 (skilled regional sponsored)
To reduce the time taken and cumbersome, the Australian Department of Migration has merged these six and introduced 3 subclasses, starting from the 1st July 2012.
The new skilled visa subclasses are listed below:
subclass 189 (skilled independent) (will replace subclasses 885 and 175)
subclass 190 (skilled nominated) (will replace subclasses 886 and 176)
subclass 489 (skilled regional) (will replace subclasses 487 and 475)
SkillSelect is an online application and has been specifically designed to motivate state sponsorship and employer sponsorship. This will help Australia to fill the current skills shortages, Australia is experiencing. There has been a significant change in the manner that visa applicants will apply for the Australian skilled independent, skilled sponsored and skilled regional sponsored visas.
The applicant has to first fill and submit an expression of interest (EOI). The EOI is a proof to demonstrate that your details have been successfully submitted in the central database and can be seen by employers of Australia. You are now eligibility for Australian skilled worker visa.
The information given by the foreign national who is intending to come to Australia is thoroughly reviewed. Department verifies and reviews the information provided by the visa applicant. Any false or misleading information will result in cancel of application, visa refusal or potential ban from the system.
SkillSelect will ensure that the skilled migration program is beneficial for Australian economic needs. It should support the Australian Government and help them manage the application for skilled migration. This would reduce the visa processing time significantly.
SkillSelect will also help in addressing regional skill shortages of various parts of Australia. SkillSelect is an online application which allows willing migrants to migrate to Australia and live and work in any part of Australia. Employers will also benefit by filling up the required position in time and as per the set guidelines.
Australian visa applicants should take advice and documentation help from an experienced and well known Australian immigration consultancy. This will take their visa approval chance much higher.
