The Prime Minister admits it hasn't been a great couple of weeks - but he fully believes he can win the election. And Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking the last 48 hours with Kiri Allan's car crash and the fall-out from it have been very difficult. Hipkins won't say whether the Quay Street gunman should have been behind bars. Two people died and four people remain in hospital in stable conditions, after the gunman opened fire at a construction site in downtown Auckland on Thursday morning.

He says there's still a lot of investigations underway, and he won't be making public comment while those are still ongoing. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government promised their modified investor visa scheme would draw high-value investors into New Zealand's economy. Nine months later, only one visa has been approved under the scheme- to a person who was already in the country. Immigration Minister Andrew Little says the new Active Investor Plus Visa is designed to encourage wealthy foreigners to use their investments to benefit New Zealand. "What we didn't want was what was happening under the previous scheme, which was a lot of people turning up, putting a lot of money in Government bonds and bank accounts, generating interest and going back home."

When the policy was launched, Immigration Minister Michael Wood said the visa category would help attract investors that will remain in New Zealand for a long time.

The Government's being warned it may have just thrown away billions of dollars of international investment by scrapping the lucrative investor plus visa categories and replacing them with a new investor migrant visa. The Economic Development Minister's goal is to attract wealthy migrants who want to directly invest in Kiwi companies, rather than just investing in shares, to get residency. The old visas required a NZ$3 million or NZ$10 million investment, now it will be NZ$5 million direct into Kiwi companies or NZ$15 million for passive investments like equities on the NZ stock exchange. Tova asked Economic Development Minister Stuart Nash on Thursday morning "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" "Because it was broke," said Nash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday two headlines in the NZ Herald caught my attention.   One read: Jacinda Ardern's global tourism push: 'We're very keen to welcome visitors back'  And the other read:'Dire' staff shortage: NZ hotels offer guests discounts to clean their rooms.'   I did have a giggle. Yes, come on down, we're open for business, love to have you visit. Here are some sheets, towels and cleaning products – have a great stay!    In some parts of the country, some hotels have reduced cleaning from daily to once every three days. Others have closed services such as spas or cut back on dining and room service. New Zealand isn't a cheap place to travel to, or throughout – an average experience isn't going to cut it.   The Prime Minister has a global reputation which makes her the perfect person to promote New Zealand and encourage tourism. Her job is to put New Zealand in the minds of people in the Northern Hemisphere who may be keen to take a break from their winter in 6 months and visit our sunny shores. These potential tourists aren't going to turn up in large numbers tomorrow, but if various government departments don't get on the same page sometime soon who knows what they'll find when they do arrive.  Hospitality industry leaders agree; saying that unless more overseas workers can be found quickly the country risks reputational damage.   A lack of workers, especially entry level workers, is no surprise. We knew by the end of 2020 that the tourism industry had been devastated, and part of its workforce more than halved. A sector that has traditionally relied on younger travellers keen for an adventure and a working holiday; these workers were never going to return overnight given the length of Covid restrictions in New Zealand.  So, where's the urgency from Immigration New Zealand?   With tourism, like other sectors struggling for workers – health, construction, infrastructure – immigration has been a key obstacle to moving us forward and out of the Covid slump. The government may have decided the pandemic offered a perfect opportunity to adjust New Zealand's immigration plan, but the impact it's having on our economy and welfare is becoming clearer by the day.   Apparently, there are problems with new employer-accredited working visa system; National's Immigration spokesperson Erica Stanford has said the system seems to be having meltdowns.   Stanford also learned that at least 74,000 phase-two Residence Visa Applications – that's applications from people already in New Zealand – have been received since March and barely 3900 had been processed by June 17.  It seems that, whether it's trying to secure workers already in New Zealand or attract new migrants, the system isn't working fast enough.   New Immigration Minister Michael Wood is also under attack for slowing down Investor Visa applications by comparison with Australia, which didn't stop processing applications during Covid. Apparently, the government is rethinking its Investment Attraction Strategy and Investor Visa Programme.   No one makes a decision to move countries overnight. No one expects to be able to move without some process and some rigour. It takes time, and because of that we are paying the price for shutting down our immigration processes when the borders shut.   To be fair, new Michael Wood has inherited a department that seems to have been slumbering for the last couple of years. But if NZ immigration doesn't quickly find a way to work more effectively and ease labour shortages, the fingers will continue to be pointed the minister's way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Closing the Investor visa route to new applicants with immediate effect was necessary, the Home Secretary said this week. If potential applicants had been given a decent period of notice, it might have attracted a last-minute flood of undesirables who “may not comply with the requirements of the Immigration Rules or who may pose national security risks”. To which Sophie Barrett-Brown and Hazar El-Chamaa, my guests on the podcast this week, respond: why would you be granting visas to people who don't qualify or threaten national security? The Home Office had plenty of existing powers to turn away applicants who can't prove their money is clean or who seem that...

In today's video, we are going to talk about one of the fastest option to get a green card and live in the US permanently. That option is the E-2 Investor Visa. What Is the E-2 Visa Program? The E-2 Investor Visa allows an individual to enter and work in the United States based on an investment he or she will be controlling while inside the United States. This visa must generally be renewed every two years, but there is no limit to how many times one can renew. The investor must be a citizen of a “treaty country.” A treaty country is a country with which the U.S. has a treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation or a Bilateral Investment Treaty. You will find a link in the description below of all the treaty countries. The investor may start a new business or invest in an existing one. The investment must be “substantial” although that term is not defined. Who Is Eligible to Participate in the E-2 Visa Program? In addition to the investor, other visa recipients may include the investor's spouse and minor, unmarried children. In addition, E-2 visas are also available to non-investor employees of the business as long as they are of the same nationality as the investor and are destined for a role in the U.S. business that is either executive/supervisory or requires specialized skills that are essential to the efficient operation of the enterprise. What Are the E-2 Visa Requirements? In addition to being a citizen of a treaty country, there are several other important requirements that individual investors must meet in order to qualify. For example: • A Bona Fide Enterprise: According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), a business which an E-2 investor applicant wishes to acquire or start must be a bona fide enterprise. The immigration authorities define bona fide enterprise as “a real, active commercial or entrepreneurial undertaking which produces services or goods for profit. The enterprise cannot be an idle investment held for potential appreciation in value, such as undeveloped land or stocks held by an investor who has no intent to direct the enterprise.” • Marginal Enterprise: Another requirement for an E-2 visa is that the business will not be “marginal.” USCIS defines a marginal enterprise as not being large enough to generate enough income for the investor to support a minimal living “for you and your family or to make a significant economic contribution.” In other words, you need to be able to support yourself and your family from the business. You must demonstrate that your business is non-marginal through your detailed business plan, tax returns, financial statements, or payroll summaries. • Irrevocable Commitment: USCIS also requires that “the capital you invest is irrevocably committed to the enterprise and subject to a partial or total loss in the event that the entity fails. The funds you invest must also be your own.” • Substantial Investment: USCIS continues: “Additionally, the invested funds must be substantial in relation to the total cost of either purchasing an established enterprise or creating the type of enterprise you are considering.” How to Write a Business Plan to Meet the Requirements? It has been said that the business plan is the “heart” of any E-2 Investor Visa application. You must think of your investor visa business plan as if it is a business plan to be submitted to a bank for a loan. It must describe the business in detail and explain why you have the talent, skill, and experience to make the business successful. The immigration authorities are not interested in your opinion; they want facts. You must provide a roadmap that demonstrates that you actually know what you are doing.

The Investor Visa for Italy is an interesting opportunity for individuals who are non-EU citizens who choose to invest in strategic assets for Italy's economy and society.

EB-5 investors are facing unique issues and challenges concerning their futures in the U.S. “Normal” processing times for I-526 have surpassed 45 months, and I-829 processing times are around 40 months. Depending on the investor’s birthplace, phase in the EB-5 process, and if there are dependents’ ages to be considered, there are different options and recommendations. When foreign nationals are facing years of adjudication in a program designed to last 3 to 5 years, it may be time to sue in federal court. In addition to delays, EB-5 petition denial rates have increased. If an EB-5 petition is denied, it’s not necessarily the end of the road. The Klasko Litigation Team has extensive experience in successfully challenging petition denials in federal court.

Many are wondering how they can open a branch or subsidiary in the United States and ultimately travel to the United States. The L1A is good option which can turn into a permanent residence under EB1c. It is also an alternatives for those individuals and employees from India and China who have been waiting for years under the EB2 and EB3 categories. This video by attorney Sharif Silmi from the Shah Peerally Law Group PC and Immi Law Help Inc. addresses this issue. Watch it and call us at (510) 742 5887, should you have any questions.

An E-2 is a visa is for a foreign national of a “investor treaty” country, coming to the US to direct the operations of an enterprise in which the investor has invested or is actively in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital. This visa may also be obtained by key employees of the business. Key considerations include: i) whether the foreigner is a national for a country that has an E-2 investor treaty, ii) that the business is 50% owned by foreigners of the treaty country, iii) that the foreigner is either a 50% owner or a key employee of the company, iv) that and that the investment is “substantial.” E-2 Immigration LawyersIn order to determine if the foreigner is a national of a qualified country, we must refer to Volume 9 of the Foreign Affairs Manual, section 41.51, Ex. 1. If the foreign national’s country is not on this list, then E-2 is not an option. Establishing that at least 50% of the US business is owned by eligible foreigners obviously depends on the nationality of the owners. Interestingly enough, however, is that if one of the owners is a US lawful permanent resident, that person’s ownership is not considered to be that of a foreigner, even if that person is a citizen of a qualifying treaty trade eligible country. While an owner who owns at least 50% of the US business is eligible for E-2, “key employees” are also eligible. A key employee must prove that they are either an “essential skills” worker whose skills are essential to the trading enterprise or key executives. Proving “substantial investment” is not a precise art because the regulations do not specifically define “substantial.” At a minimum, the investment should produce a return that is higher than a mere income to support the investor and her/her family. Three factors to consider are 1) dollars invested ($200K is a reasonably safe minimum, but some have obtained E-2 visas on initial investments as small as $50K), 2) proof that the amount is enough to capitalize business functions (this obviously varies by business), and 3) the investment should go beyond marginal job creation (that is, at least beyond creating a job just for the investor). http://www.peerallylaw.com/en/content/view/517 List of Treaty countries: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/treaty.html
