Statutes of Liberty: New form versions, new lawsuits, oh my!

By Sponsor

This sponsored column is by Law Office of James Montana PLLC. All questions about it should be directed to James Montana, Esq., Janice Chen, Esq., and Taryn Druge, Esq., practicing attorneys at The Law Office of James Montana PLLC, an immigration-focused law firm located in Falls Church, Virginia. The legal information given here is general in nature. If you want legal advice, contact us for an appointment.

The answer to every simple question in our immigration system is: There’s a form for that! Frequently, the answer to more complex questions is: There’s a stack of forms for that! These forms are provided by the immigration authorities, for the use of applicants for immigration benefits, and are updated occasionally to reflect changes in law and policy.

These form updates are usually quite ho-hum. USCIS issues a notice stating that a form has been updated, and gives immigrants (and their lawyers) a grace period during which both the old version of the form and the new version will be accepted. 

USCIS plays Three Card Monte with green card application forms. So fun!

In early March, the new administrative decided to Reinvent the Paradigm by issuing a large number of new form versions. These new form versions – which included big ones, like the application for a green card – were virtually identical to the old forms, other than removing language concerning “other gender identity.” But – and this is the key – the old forms were invalid as of the date of issuance of the new forms. No grace period, no transition. What happens if you mailed the form yesterday, and it’s still in transit? Well, it’s invalid today.

This maneuver released a live ferret into the office of every immigration lawyer in the country. We had to stop application packets en route to the post office, because we quite properly feared that the applications would be rejected (or, worse, denied) for failure to provide the correct form version. 

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) hit the roof, quite properly, over this, and filed a lawsuit. USCIS replied to the lawsuit by saying (1) “[W]hile no definite grace period is being provided, USCIS will exercise its discretion to not reject previous versions of forms that are submitted for a reasonable period after the new versions take effect” and then, (2) by adding a one-month grace period, retroactively, in response to the lawsuit being filed. Our reading of this is that the new political appointees at USCIS were simply not familiar with how the agency works, and so they didn’t think about the problem until someone sued them over it. Our sympathies go out to the poor AUSA who has to explain this chain of events to a grumpy federal judge.

The new one-month grace period has created needless problems – particularly for victims of crime, who will need to obtain new certifications from already overworked police departments and prosecutors – and was, in our view, needlessly stingy. Providing the usual three months of grace period would have allowed most pro se and represented applicants to complete the applications and file them, and would also have allowed the government to update its forms in response to its new policy directives.

As always, we are grateful for your questions and comments, and will do our best to respond.

Ask Eli: Tax assessments vs market value (2024 sales)

By Sponsor

This regularly scheduled sponsored column is written by Eli Tucker, Arlington-based Realtor and Arlington resident. If you would like to work with Eli and his team in Northern Virginia and the greater D.C. Metro area, you can reach him directly at Eli@EliResidential.com.

Eli and his team believe that your real estate needs should be managed by advisors, not salespeople. Their mission is to guide, educate, and advocate for their clients through real advice, hands-on support, and personalized service.

Question: How do County assessed values for property taxes compare to actual market values?

Answer: In January, Arlington announced that residential property tax assessments increased by 3.7% across the county (changes to individual home/land values will vary significantly). This change is meant to align with the increase in market values of Arlington homes, but it falls below actual 2024 market performance for detached and condo properties (good for homeowners paying property taxes).

Tax assessed values remain well below actual market values for most homes in Arlington. In fact, 86.4% of homes sold in 2024 sold for more than their most recent tax assessed value. Nearly the same number of homes sold for 20% or more than their assessed value than those that sold for less than their assessed value.

Homes that sold in 2024 sold for an average of 9.7% (median 9.1%) above their most recent tax assessment.

Those who own homes in the 22205 and 22207 zip codes (most of North Arlington) benefit the most by underassessments, with the average 2024 sale coming in13.2% and 13% over their assessed value, respectively, which translates to under assessments of roughly $1,700 and $2,000 annually. Owners of detached homes and townhouses benefit more from underassessments than condo owners, with a 11.8% average under assessment compared to a 7.1% average difference.

If County assessments were representative of actual market values, the average Arlington homeowner would pay over $1,000 more per year in property taxes, so don’t forget to send the Department of Real Estate Assessments a thank you card!

The following chart shows how much more the average home sold for in 2024 compared to its most recent tax assessed value (note: I’ve done some data clean-up like removing sales of new homes where the assessed value is still based on the original home’s value).

If you believe that the County’s assessment of your home’s value is too high, you have the right to appeal the assessed value; the deadline is March 1 each year

Small Business Focus: Celebrating black excellence with chef Rock Harper

By Sponsor
Chef Rock Harper

This column is sponsored by BizLaunch, a division of Arlington Economic Development.

Arlington boasts a vibrant community of Black-owned businesses that significantly contribute to the county’s cultural richness and economic vitality.

Celebrating and supporting these enterprises honors Black heritage and fosters a diverse and thriving local economy. This past February, in partnership with the National Landing BID, we had the amazing opportunity to interview a leading entrepreneur in the community, Chef Rock Harper, with Queen Mother’s Kitchen, as part of the “Innovation Economy with Arlington Economic Development” podcast.

The robust discussion included all aspects of Chef Harper’s career, from mentorship to winning Hell’s Kitchen Season Three to why he chose Arlington as his first restaurant, launching Queen Mother’s in National Landing.

In keeping with supporting diverse entrepreneurs, please save the date of April 10 as BizLaunch and the Hyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan National Airport will be hosting a Minority Vendor Showcase.

Vendor applications are currently open, and we invite all minority vendors to apply. The theme this year will be Food, Fuel, Fitness and Fun. The Showcase is an excellent opportunity to showcase your business to Hyatt Regency as many purchasing agents from the hospitality industry will be in attendance.
