How Trump's billionaires are hijacking affordable housing

America’s morbidly rich billionaires are at it again, this time screwing the average family’s ability to have decent, affordable housing in their never-ending quest for more, more, more. Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and Denmark have had enough and done something about it: we should, too.

There are a few things that are essential to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” that should never be purely left to the marketplace; these are the most important sectors where government intervention, regulation, and even subsidy are not just appropriate but essential. Housing is at the top of that list.

A few days ago I noted how, since the Reagan Revolution, the cost of housing has exploded in America, relative to working class income.

When my dad bought his home in the 1950s, for example, the median price of a single-family house was around 2.2 times the median American family income. Today the St. Louis Fed says the median house sells for $417,700 while the median American income is $40,480—a ratio of more than 10 to 1 between housing costs and annual income.

In other words, housing is about five times more expensive (relative to income) than it was in the 1950s.

And now we’ve surged past a new tipping point, causing the homelessness that’s plagued America’s cities since George W. Bush’s deregulation-driven housing- and stock-market crash in 2008, exacerbated by Trump’s bungling America’s pandemic response.

And the principal cause of both that crash and today’s crisis of homelessness and housing affordability has one, single, primary cause: billionaires treating housing as an investment commodity.

A new report from Popular Democracy and the Institute for Policy Studies reveals how billionaire investors have become a major driver of the nationwide housing crisis. They summarize in their own words:

— Billionaire-backed private equity firms worm their way into different segments of the housing market to extract ever-increasing rents and value from multi-family rental, single-family homes, and mobile home park communities. — Global billionaires purchase billions in U.S. real estate to diversify their asset holdings, driving the creation of luxury housing that functions as “safety deposit boxes in the sky.” Estimates of hidden wealth are as high as $36 trillion globally, with billions parked in U.S. land and housing markets. — Wealthy investors are acquiring property and holding units vacant, so that in many communities the number of vacant units greatly exceeds the number of unhoused people. Nationwide there are 16 million vacant homes: that is, 28 vacant homes for every unhoused person. — Billionaire investors are buying up a large segment of the short-term rental market, preventing local residents from living in these homes, in order to cash in on tourism. These are not small owners with one unit, but corporate owners with multiple properties. — Billionaire investors and corporate landlords are targeting communities of color and low-income residents, in particular, with rent increases, high rates of eviction, and unhealthy living conditions. What’s more, billionaire-owned private equity firms are investing in subsidized housing, enjoying tax breaks and public benefits, while raising rents and evicting low-income tenants from housing they are only required to keep affordable, temporarily. (Emphasis theirs.)

It seems that everywhere you look in America you see the tragedy of the homelessness these billionaires are causing. Rarely, though, do you hear about the role of Wall Street and its billionaires in causing it.

The math, however, is irrefutable.

Thirty-two percent is the magic threshold, according to research funded by the real estate listing company Zillow. When neighborhoods hit rent rates in excess of 32 percent of neighborhood income, homelessness explodes. And we’re seeing it play out right in front of us in cities across America because a handful of Wall Street billionaires are making a killing.

As the Zillow study notes:

“Across the country, the rent burden already exceeds the 32 percent [of median income] threshold in 100 of the 386 markets included in this analysis….”

And wherever housing prices become more than three times annual income, homelessness stalks like the grim reaper. That Zillow-funded study laid it out:

“This research demonstrates that the homeless population climbs faster when rent affordability — the share of income people spend on rent — crosses certain thresholds. In many areas beyond those thresholds, even modest rent increases can push thousands more Americans into homelessness.”

This trend is massive.

As noted in a Wall Street Journal article titled “Meet Your New Landlord: Wall Street,” in just one suburb (Spring Hill) of Nashville:

“In all of Spring Hill, four firms … own nearly 700 houses … [which] amounts to about 5% of all the houses in town.”

This is the tiniest tip of the iceberg.

“On the first Tuesday of each month,” notes the Journal article about a similar phenomenon in Atlanta, investors “toted duffels stuffed with millions of dollars in cashier’s checks made out in various denominations so they wouldn’t have to interrupt their buying spree with trips to the bank…”

The same thing is happening in cities and suburbs all across America; agents for the billionaire investor goliaths use fine-tuned computer algorithms to sniff out houses they can turn into rental properties, making over-market and unbeatable cash bids often within minutes of a house hitting the market.

After stripping neighborhoods of homes young families can afford to buy, billionaires then begin raising rents to extract as much cash as they can from local working class communities.

In the Nashville suburb of Spring Hill, the vice-mayor, Bruce Hull, told the Journal you used to be able to rent “a three bedroom, two bath house for $1,000 a month.” Today, the Journal notes:

“The average rent for 148 single-family homes in Spring Hill owned by the big four [Wall Street billionaire investor] landlords was about $1,773 a month…”

As the Bank of International Settlements summarized in a 2014 retrospective study of the years since the Reagan/Gingrich changes in banking and finance:

“We describe a Pareto frontier along which different levels of risk-taking map into different levels of welfare for the two parties, pitting Main Street against Wall Street. … We also show that financial innovation, asymmetric compensation schemes, concentration in the banking system, and bailout expectations enable or encourage greater risk-taking and allocate greater surplus to Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.”

It’s a fancy way of saying that billionaire-owned big banks and hedge funds have made trillions on housing while you and your community are becoming destitute.

Ryan Dezember, in his book Underwater: How Our American Dream of Homeownership Became a Nightmare, describes the story of a family trying to buy a home in Phoenix. Every time they entered a bid, they were outbid instantly, the price rising over and over, until finally the family’s father threw in the towel.

“Jacobs was bewildered,” writes Dezember. “Who was this aggressive bidder?”

Turns out it was Blackstone Group, now the world’s largest real estate investor run by a major Trump supporter. At the time they were buying $150 million worth of American houses every week, trying to spend over $10 billion. And that’s just a drop in the overall bucket.

As that new study from Popular Democracy and the Institute for Policy Studies found:

“[Billionaire Stephen Schwarzman’s] Blackstone is the largest corporate landlord in the world, with a vast and diversified real estate portfolio. It owns more than 300,000 residential units across the U.S., has $1 trillion in global assets, and nearly doubled its profits in 2021. “Blackstone owns 149,000 multi-family apartment units; 63,000 single-family homes; 70 mobile home parks with 13,000 lots through their subsidiary Treehouse Communities; and student housing, through American Campus Communities (144,300 beds in 205 properties as of 2022). Blackstone recently acquired 95,000 units of subsidized housing.”

In 2018, corporations and the billionaires that own or run them bought 1 out of every 10 homes sold in America, according to Dezember, noting that:

“Between 2006 and 2016, when the homeownership rate fell to its lowest level in fifty years, the number of renters grew by about a quarter.”

And it’s gotten worse every year since then.

This all really took off around a decade ago following the Bush Crash, when Morgan Stanley published a 2011 report titled “The Rentership Society,” arguing that snapping up houses and renting them back to people who otherwise would have wanted to buy them could be the newest and hottest investment opportunity for Wall Street’s billionaires and their funds.

Turns out, Morgan Stanley was right. Warren Buffett, KKR, and The Carlyle Group have all jumped into residential real estate, along with hundreds of smaller investment groups, and the National Home Rental Council has emerged as the industry’s premiere lobbying group, working to block rent control legislation and other efforts to control the industry.

As John Husing, the owner of Economics and Politics Inc., told The Tennessean newspaper:

“What you have are neighborhoods that are essentially unregulated apartment houses. It could be disastrous for the city.”

As Zillow found:

“The areas that are most vulnerable to rising rents, unaffordability, and poverty hold 15 percent of the U.S. population — and 47 percent of people experiencing homelessness.”

The loss of affordable homes also locks otherwise middle class families out of the traditional way wealth is accumulated — through home ownership: over 61% of all American middle-income family wealth is their home’s equity.

And as families are priced out of ownership and forced to rent, they become more vulnerable to homelessness.

Housing is one of the primary essentials of life. Nobody in America should be without it, and for society to work, housing costs must track incomes in a way that makes housing both available and affordable.

Singapore, Denmark, New Zealand, and parts of Canada have all put limits on billionaire, corporate, and foreign investment in housing, recognizing families’ residences as essential to life rather than purely a commodity. Multiple other countries are having that debate or moving to take similar actions as you read these words.

America should, too.

Last year, troubled by the seeming intractability of these problems, I began looking for solutions outside the United States. Could the answer be rent control, as in Berlin? It might have seemed that way a decade or so ago, before investors and new residents began pouring into the city, causing land values to quintuple; now, despite rent-stabilization laws, even the apartments that no one else wanted to buy 15 years ago are huge moneymakers. Many residents with affordable rental contracts are locked into them because it would be too expensive or competitive to move. Frustrated by the housing squeeze, tenant organizers recently put forth an “expropriation” measure, which called for landlords with more than 3,000 units to sell their holdings back to the government at below-market prices. In a 2021 referendum, 59 percent of Berliners voted in favor of it, but it’s not clear whether it will ever be implemented.

Could the answer be loosening zoning restrictions, as Tokyo did in 2002? That has certainly helped. In 2014, there was more home construction in the city than in all of England. Since then, home prices have stabilized. Tokyo is largely celebrated as a model by YIMBYs (members of the “yes, in my backyard” movement) because they like its market-driven approach to housing abundance. They often point out that the city builds five times as much housing per capita as California. But Japan is a very different market because of its earthquake risk: Because regulatory codes and mitigation technologies are ever improving, structures often fully depreciate within 35 years. Older homes are often undermaintained because there’s little expectation that any investment might be recaptured upon resale; they’re thought of like used clothing or cars — you resell at a loss.

Auckland, New Zealand, might seem like a more applicable example. In 2016, the city, which has one of the most expensive housing markets in the world, “upzoned” 75 percent of its residential land, increasing its legal capacity for housing by about 300 percent in an effort to encourage multifamily-housing construction and tamp down prices. In areas that were upzoned, the total number of building permits granted (a way of estimating new construction) more than quadrupled from 2016 to 2021. As intended, the relative value of underdeveloped land increased, because it could suddenly host more housing, and the relative value of units in densely developed areas decreased, tempering sky-high prices. But there are limits to what upzoning can do. Often the benefits of allowing greater density are captured by developers, who price the new units far above cost. It doesn’t offer renters security or directly create the type of housing most needed: affordable housing.

That’s what differentiates Vienna. Perhaps no other developed city has done more to protect residents from the commodification of housing. In Vienna, 43 percent of all housing is insulated from the market, meaning the rental prices reflect costs or rates set by law — not “what the market will bear” or what a person with no other options will pay. The government subsidizes affordable units for a wide range of incomes. The mean gross household income in Vienna is 57,700 euros a year, but any person who makes under 70,000 euros qualifies for a Gemeindebau unit. Once in, you never have to leave. It doesn’t matter if you start earning more. The government never checks your salary again. Two-thirds of the city’s rental housing is covered by rent control, and all tenants have just-cause eviction protections. Such regulations, when coupled with adequate supply, give renters a level of stability comparable to American owners with fixed mortgages. As a result, 80 percent of all households in Vienna choose to rent.

The key difference is that Vienna prioritizes subsidizing construction, while the United States prioritizes subsidizing people, with things like housing vouchers. One model focuses on supply, the other on demand. Vienna’s choice illustrates a fundamental economic reality, which is that a large-enough supply of social housing offers a market alternative that improves housing for all.

I don't think JK leaves Korea for US. Of all the members, the one I could see doing it but not in the US is Tae , He talked about that not a long ago and maybe Yoongi, He likes LA.

What I notice is that Tae and JK are closer now than Tae and Jimin and JK and Jimin .That means They have a relationship ?no, They don't have It, but people pass for different phases in their lives and now It seems Tae and JK are in the same one

No one quote me on this, but I believe Jungkook has mentioned it a while back too, along with New Zealand as a possible location. That was years ago (assuming my memory hasn’t failed me), though, so his feelings could have changed since then.

Generally, though, if his professional trajectory takes him to LA more frequently, it might be a practical move for him even if he has no emotional investment in the city. We see this a lot in our industry. I don’t anticipate that he or any of the members would make a permanent move, but I see dual residency being a realistic option for any of them.

Jimin isn’t any less close to Jungkook, I’m not sure where you’re getting that impression. Their approach to life, personally and creatively, appear to be different, but that’s the extent of it. You could argue that this development means it wouldn’t be suitable for a relationship, if that’s what your angling for and it would be valid, but it’s certainly not a measurement of closeness.

Taehyung and Jungkook are closer these days, in the sense that their interests seem more aligned, which explains why they’d be getting closer as friends would. Taehyung has shut down Tkkrs (and probably all shippers, by extension) before, and given that he has, I don’t entertain ideas that he’s romantically interested in any of the BTS members and vice versa.

The Evolution Of Surf Tourism: From Niche Hobby To Global Economic Powerhouse

The Rise of Surf Travel Surfing has grown from a niche hobby into a massive global tourist industry. What started as a local passion among a small group of beach towns is now big business drawing visitors from around the world seeking the perfect wave. Surf tourism first began in the 1960s as surfer culture emerged and enthusiasts looked beyond their home breaks to seek out new waves. Destinations like Hawaii, Australia and California became hotspots that saw the first surf camps, guesthouses and tours catered towards travelers. Early surf tourism relied heavily on word-of-mouth as surfers shared trip details and recommendations with their peers. Building Infrastructure for Surfers In the 1980s and 90s, places that had surfing appeal recognized its potential to boost their economies and began investing seriously in infrastructure for surf tourists. Accommodations ranging from hostels to high-end resorts tailored to surfers popped up near top breaks. Car rentals, surfcamps, retailers and restaurants joined in to capture the growing surf market. Travel operators organized specialized surf tours that made planning surf trips turnkey for those without local knowledge. Destinations like Indo, Costa Rica, Mexico and Portugal led the way in purposefully developing their surf tourism sectors. This built the supply to meet the rising demand from dedicated surf travelers willing to globe trot for epic waves. Global Growth and New Frontiers Entering the new millennium, Global Surfing Tourism had evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry. Advances in equipment like durable wetsuits and high performance boards allowed hardy surfers to expand surf travel into more remote and colder climates. Places like Norway, Iceland, New Zealand and South Africa joined the surf map as new must-see destinations. The proliferation of online surf reports and forecasting apps gave tourists unprecedented wave knowledge before trips. Low cost airlines opened up accessibility to surf spots worldwide. Today surf tourism thrives in over 100 countries with specialty surf travel companies taking travelers to less charted territories in search of uncrowded waves. Though Hawaii, California, Australia, Indonesia and Latin America still dominate, new frontiers constantly emerge to cater to an international surf audience hungry to experience the planet's best breaks. Environmental and Cultural Impacts With the vast popularity and economic rewards of surfing tourism come responsibilities to manage impacts. Crowds at famous breaks have led to overuse of resources and conflicts between stakeholders. Infrastructure development at destinations sometimes outpaces regulations to protect natural environments and small town qualities of life that originally attracted surfers. Surf enclaves grapple with issues like pollution, parking and congestion from growing visitor numbers. Environmental stewardship programs and carrying capacity rules aim to maintain surf breaks and experiences into the future. Respecting local communities and cultures coping with changes brought by surf tourism also warrants attention. However, sustainable practices preserve these special places for continued enjoyment by both residents and travelers seeking ocean connections through surfing.

NEW ZEALAND POLICY FOR SINGAPORE MOVERS

New Zealand has been one of the most sought-after destinations in the world, for people generally looking for greener pastures and many Singaporeans who wish to try their luck outside the country. With its awe-inspiring natural sceneries, high quality of living standards, and strong economy, New Zealand indeed presents a plethora of opportunities for those who intend to migrate. Apart from its natural and economic appeal, the New Zealand government has put in place various policies that greatly benefit movers, including those from Singapore, such as immigration policies, to housing and taxation policies, which will make life easier for the Singapore movers to adapt.

In this article, we review the key benefits of New Zealand policy for movers from Singapore and how these policies could streamline the process, make it efficient, and rewarding. Let's begin.

1. Immigration Policies: Simplifying the Move

The main valid reasons for relocation to New Zealand include its immigration policies, which are targeted at skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors alike. New Zealand has a variety of visa classes that make relocation easy in this country for work, business, or long-term settlement.

Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) Visa

The SMC Visa is the most common route for Singapore movers to New Zealand. This visa class is intended for those individuals whose skills feature on New Zealand's demand list in the labour market of the country. Those Singaporeans who meet the qualifications that involve work experience, qualification, and a job offer in New Zealand can apply for residency through this visa.

New Zealand has had a points-based immigration system, offering clearer prospects for residency to the skilled professional from Singapore by giving them points for age, work experience, and education, among others. In addition, the need for skilled labor means that there could be further opportunities for those in areas like technology, finance, engineering, and health.

Investor Visa

The Investor Visa and Investor Plus Visas present fine areas of investment by Singaporeans in New Zealand. The New Zealand government welcomes outside investment, and these visas offer ways for high-net-worth individuals to earn residency through the method of investment in the economy of New Zealand.

This will be an attractive opportunity for Singaporean entrepreneurs and investors who will want to take advantage of New Zealand's stable economy, growing industries, and a good business climate. The policy will be streamlined so that the investor contributes to growth while benefiting from New Zealand's secure, transparent business climate.

Work to Residence Visa

A New Zealand Work to Residence Visa is an excellent opportunity for Singaporeans to get residency while working in the country. This is the class of visa that allows a person to work for a New Zealand employer in an identified role on the LTSSL, leading to possible residence after two years in this role.

This policy benefits Singaporeans through a clear and systemic avenue into permanent residency as they continue to contribute to New Zealand's labor market.

2. Tax Benefits: Favorable Tax Policies for New Residents

New Zealand provides new residents with very favorable tax conditions, which will be particularly advantageous to the mover from Singapore, who would not want to bear too much in tax liabilities.

No Capital Gains Tax

Probably the most attractive aspect of New Zealand's tax system is that there is no capital gains tax on the majority of assets. This can be very attractive to many Singaporeans who, quite possibly, have property, stocks, or other investments. While property and income taxes do exist, the lack of capital gains tax could save Singapore movers a great deal of money on their investments.

The policy is especially useful for Singaporeans who want to invest in property in New Zealand since it allows them to gain valuable experience from appreciation of the property without being assessed on capital gains.

Transitional Resident Status

Another major tax advantage of New Zealand's transitional resident status for movers from Singapore includes there being no tax on most foreign-sourced income for new residents qualifying for this status, for up to four years. These include income from overseas investments, pensions, and other financial assets.

However, this policy offers a nice and additional tax break during the initial years for the Singaporeans who have substantial foreign-sourced income and assets. They offer them a chance to adjust their lives and, simultaneously, move on with their new life without having any stress of immediate tax that needs to be paid on worldwide income.

No Inheritance Tax

The important advantage of New Zealand is that this jurisdiction does not provide for inheritance tax-a factor that will play a significant role for Singaporeans in long-term financial planning. It facilitates the possibility to transfer the wealth to future generations without facing a risk of estate taxation after death.

3. Housing Policies: Support for New Homebuyers

Buying or renting a home in New Zealand is considered one of the most important milestones in one's life as far as settling down is concerned for a Singaporean moving to the country. Fortunately, New Zealand housing policies are friendly, if not considerably so, for new residents in the country, especially in terms of buying property.

No Restrictions on Foreign Property Ownership

Unlike other countries, which put major restrictions on the ownership of property by foreigners, New Zealand does not restrict or impose major restrictions on the ownership of residential property by foreigners. Therefore, the country gives a window of opportunity for new residents, such as Singaporeans, purchasing residential properties. This also helps the movers from Singapore to purchase a home and establish themselves in the country with ease.

Though some restriction exists in land purchasing of sensitive or rural land types, the overall policy is so foreign-buyer-friendly, which really lures Singaporeans who are used to treading through a competitive and high-priced home property market within their country.

First Time Home Buyer Assistance

There are various New Zealand government schemes that offer some form of financial assistance to first-home buyers. For example, first-home buyers that fall within certain criteria and have been in the KiwiSaver retirement savings scheme can receive the KiwiSaver HomeStart grant to assist them with buying their first home.

Thus, for Singaporeans coming to New Zealand, the policy serves as financial assistance toward buying their first homes and residences in the country.

4. Healthcare and Social Security Benefits

The general New Zealand health system and social security benefits are the key attractions for relocating people from Singapore, especially those moving with families or retirees looking for quiet and secure environments.

Public Healthcare System

New Zealand has a good, publicly funded healthcare system, mostly through general taxation, hence ensuring that residents have access to necessary medical treatment with minimal or no costs. Therefore, for the Singaporeans moving into New Zealand, access to the health care system would imply world-class medical treatments devoid of financial burdens created by private healthcare systems in other countries.

This is a special plus, especially for retirees or families with elderly members, since all senors are guaranteed access to New Zealand's healthcare policies for all needed medical care, including visits to the hospital, specialists and surgical procedures.

ACC

ACC or the New Zealand's Accident Compensation Corporation renders complete compensation to all its citizens in case of injury, no matter where or how the injury occurred. The government insurance scheme allows financial compensations for the injuries and provides medical treatment and rehabilitation facilities to people who suffer from injuries.

Essentially, for movers in Singapore, the ACC offers peace of mind in knowing that one is covered in case of any accidents, whether on or off the job, or during one's recreational activities.

5. Education Policies: High-Quality Education for Families

Apart from the scenic beauty of the country, for families relocating from Singapore to New Zealand, education policies are another big plus for the country. New Zealand offers quality education at all levels, from primary school to university, and its public education system is free for residents.

World-Class Universities

Some of its world-class universities include the University of Auckland, the University of Otago, and Victoria University of Wellington. These provide a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs hence making the country an ideal destination for Singaporeans looking for higher education opportunities abroad.

Student Support

New Zealand's education policies also support international students and their families. Examples include that children of skilled migrants have the right to attend public schools without paying international fees, and there are a number of scholarships available to support Singaporean students going to New Zealand for higher education.

Conclusion

New Zealand's immigration policy presents the country as a suitable destination for movers emanating from Singapore, considering various benefits that the policy offers to create an easy immigration process with various tax advantages, housing purchases, quality healthcare, and education. Singaporeans can enjoy New Zealand's friendly policy to enable them to have smoother, more viable, and rewarding relocations for work, family reunions, or retirement.

Transfer of workforce and increasing responsibility of an UAE immigration lawyer

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the sudden radical political shift in the US has suddenly despised a large number of global firms to transfer their company executives deployed to various nations to the U.S. for their designated roles. This can also be attributed to the fact that the US has come out as the clear winner in the race of nations for being the world’s trade capital.

The US-based employers can guarantee their employees safe and lawful visits by abiding by the visa categorizations on the basis of the professional context of the transferee, the duration of the employee’s proposed stay, the nationality of the foreigner, and a number of various other norms. These nuances about foreigner’s visits and stays are all mentioned in the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The foreign business travellers arriving in the US rely on B-1 visas which compliments them legally a short stay which can be anything less than 12 months. There is no scope for U.S. employers to recompense these visitors. A person who visits the US as a business visitor can take part in the following activities while his stay:

•             Discuss planned investment or purchases

•             Attend meetings and participate in them fully

•             Conduct negotiations

•             Solicit sales or investment

•             Make investments or purchases

•             Interview and hire staff

•             Conduct research.

Also, you must be aware of the fact that people entering in the U.S. for tourism or commercial purpose for 90 days or less from eligible countries (such as Western Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand) may be entitled to visit the U.S. without a visa if their prerequisites match with the visa waiver program requirements. The nuances involved in the immigration approval process has upheld an all-new stream of Immigration Solicitors in London who are proficient in their work. The leading immigration solicitors in London bifurcate company-sponsored employment approval for foreign nationals into two categories:

(1) Immigrant status or permanent residency: a company may patron a foreign national for permanent residence.

(2) Non-immigrant status: a particular employer may seek permission to hire a foreign person for a particular period of time as a provisional employee.

AnUAE immigration lawyer has found some visa categories that allow the transitioning from Non-immigrant (Temporary) Residency Status to Immigrant (Permanent) Residency Status, but these privileges are not covered in all categories. These cases are handled under the influence of dual-purpose where some non-immigrants are allowed to enter and/or stay in the U.S. provisionally with a non-immigrant visa (such as H-1 or L) even though they have exhibited a long-term commitment to stay lastingly. B-1, B-2 and F-1 categories do not permit themselves to the application of the dual intent principle.

Each visa category has extremely specific regulations which are looked after carefully by an UAE immigration lawyer, most of which easily harmonize between the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a portion of the Department of Homeland Security, and other U.S. government departments, such as the Labor Department for smooth and easy redressal of clients because the timelines are very important in this kind of cases and involve large documentation.

The major visa categories for the temporary non-immigrant employment of foreign nationals include L-1A (Multinational Managers/Executives), L-1B (Specialized Knowledge), H-1B (Professional Workers), and TN Application (Canada and Mexico).
