While statistics show the percentage of applications approved hit a decade high last year, some immigration lawyers think it's actually getting more difficult to make cases, with frequent requests for more evidence that underscore the subjective side of the process.

The Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Office Applauds The Introduction of a Bi-Partisan Senate Immigration Reform Bill.
April 18, 2013 - Ridgewood, New Jersey - The Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Group, applauds the "Gang of Eight" Senators who have introduced the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act." The Senators and their staff have been working tirelessly, for months, to create a bi-partisan solution that attempts to fix our broken immigration system.
Following Senator Rubio's appearance on 7 talk shows this past Sunday, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), a member of the Gang of Eight, announced the components of the Bill in a teleconference yesterday. Mr. Nachman met on Capitol Hill with Senator Menendez's staff (and other Congressmen) to discuss immigration reform late last week. The Senate is to be commended for having the courage to lean into this difficult issue and bring forth a detailed and comprehensive proposal. In addition, labor and business groups should be acknowledged for their role in negotiating, in advance, some of the toughest sticking points to help ensure a smooth path through Congress.
One of NPZ's Managing Immigration Attorneys, David Nachman, Esq. states: "The introduction of this bipartisan legislation shows that there is a change in the disruptive political thought process that has been at play for many years over the immigration issue. The fact that the two parties are seriously negotiating a "comprehensive bill" as to a piece meal introduction of bills shows that immigration reform may become a reality in 2013".

It seems clearly to be the case that the "winds of change are in the air". One of the most illuminating meetings Mr. Nachman had on Capitol Hill was with the representatives of the Offices of Senators Menendez and Lautenberg who are responsible for immigration issues. Mr. Nachman was briefed by Senator Menendez's Staff Members about the proposed CIR Bill that is likely to be introduced as early as Today. As most of our readers are aware, Senator Menendez is a member of the "Gang of Eight" and, as such, his staff members are well-versed on the provisions of the proposed new CIR Bill.

The so-called Gang of Eight is finishing up the final details and is planning to unveil the proposed legislation on Tuesday. Even before the measure gets its first public airing, its authors were defending the program that would provide a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million individuals in this country who came illegally or overstayed their visit.
"We're not awarding anybody anything. All we're doing is giving people the opportunity to eventually earn access to our new, improved and modernized legal immigration system," said Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican who has been among the lawmakers at work on the overhaul.

They’ll have to pay fines, get fingerprinted, show they’re crime-free taxpayers and — little reported until now — check in periodically with a probation-like immigration system to make sure they’re in good standing with the law, according to Democrats and Republicans familiar with the Senate’s proposed legislation, which will be released Tuesday.

Last fall, the AP said they would restrict the usage of "illegal immigrant" to certain circumstances due to the complexity of the immigration experience. Paul Colford, the director of media relations for the AP, addressed the issue in an email, saying that "ongoing, lively, internal conversation" about "illegal immigrant" continued after that announcement.

But with the Gang of Eight taking another step closer to a deal, the balance it strikes on the path to citizenship details — including penalties, fees and requirements for legal permanent residence — now will be as consequential as any of the higher-profile issues. It will help determine both the political viability of the bill and how many of the country’s 11 million undocumented immigrants ultimately get a shot at citizenship.
