DV LOTTERY 2020 SOPRAVVIVE UN ALTRO ANNO LA FAMOSA LOTTERIA PER LA GREEN CARD By: Salussolia & Associates

usaIl Dipartimento di Stato Americano ha recentemente pubblicato le istruzioni per il programma Diversity Visa Lottery 2020 (DV Lottery 2020).

Tale annuncio è apparso alquanto inaspettato dal momento che lo scorso novembre il presidente Trump aveva dichiarato di voler eliminare il programma.

Non rimane che approfittare di questa opportunità, che potrebbe essere l’ultima!

Il programma DV Lottery offre 50.000 visti di immigrazione che consentono a individui provenienti da paesi con tassi di immigrazione negli Stati Uniti storicamente bassi di acquisire lo status di residenza permanente, attraverso l’ottenimento della nota Green Card, con conseguente possibilità di vivere e lavorare senza restrizioni di tempo e di luogo all’interno degli U.S.A.

Il programma DV-2020 ha aperto i battenti ieri, 3 ottobre 2018, e chiuderà a mezzogiorno (EDT) del 6 novembre 2018, concedendo, come di consueto, un periodo di circa un mese per la presentazione delle domande. I candidati sono tuttavia incoraggiati ad applicare il più presto possibile presentando la propria domanda in formato elettronico attraverso la pagina ufficiale del Dipartimento di Stato (https://www.dvlottery.state.gov). Rammentiamo che questa è l’unica via ufficiale per partecipare al programma.

Il programma riceve un enorme volume di candidati e una forte domanda può causare ritardi e/o interruzioni nel sito web. Ogni candidato può presentare domanda solo una volta; le persone con più di una domanda saranno automaticamente squalificate.

Dopo la chiusura della finestra di presentazione delle domande, il Dipartimento di Stato selezionerà i candidati attraverso un sistema di lotteria informatizzata.

I candidati potranno verificare l’esito della propria domanda on-line a partire dal 7 Maggio 2019 e fino al 30 Settembre 2019.

Il governo non cominicherà l’esito della lotteria per posta, e-mail o in altro modo. Pertanto, è imperativo che i candidati stampino e conservino il numero di conferma personale generato al momento di invio della domanda al fine di poterne controllare l’esito on-line.

Requisiti di idoneità:

  1. Il richiedente o il suo coniuge devono essere nati in un paese ammissibile (vedere elenco di seguito per paesi non ammissibili) o, in alternativa, i genitori del richiedente devono essere nati in un paese ammissibile con nessuno dei due genitori residente in un paese non ammissibile al momento della nascita del richiedente.
  1. Il richiedente deve possedere almeno un diploma di scuola superiore (o il suo equivalente) o avere accumulato due anni di esperienza lavorativa negli ultimi cinque anni in determinati ambiti di occupazione definiti dal Dipartimento di Stato.

Chi non è idoneo?

A causa del numero di immigrati negli ultimi cinque anni, i nativi dei paesi di seguito elencati non possono presentare domanda:

Bangladesh, Brasile, Canada, Cina (nato in terraferma), Colombia, Repubblica Dominicana, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Giamaica, Messico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Perù, Filippine, Corea del Sud, Regno Unito (ad eccezione dell’Irlanda del Nord) e i suoi territori dipendenti e il Vietnam.

US Tax Reform Plan main points, by Italian CPA

The long-awaited tax reform was quietly approved by the House and then signed by the US President on 22 December 2017.
It is, in fact, the most drastic change to US tax code of the last 30 years!
 
Here are the reform main points:
  • The corporate tax rate has been permanently cut from 35% to 21% for companies of all sizes and industry fields.
  • Top individual tax rate will drop to 37% from 39.6%
  • “Bonus depreciation” is increased to 100% (for machinery and equipment purchases it applies immediately and until 2022)
  • Multinationals and giant corporations will repatriate their capitals to the US with an 8% one-time tax on their earnings (15.5% in case of offshore cash) instead of the average 35% under current federal law (which will be terminated)
  • Meaningful advantages in the real estate industry
  • Business premises income deductibility
  • Tax reduction on individuals until 2025
  • Estate tax exemption (which lets heirs save on millions of dollars)
  • Student loan interest deduction
  • End of tax penalties for individuals who do not obtain health insurance coverage
What will be the medium to long-term results desired by the reform?
It is estimated that the federal budget will decrease of 1.5 billion $ over the next 10 years.
Since such great amount of money will remain in the business circle, US economic growth will literally boost and experience the following effects:
  • GDP growth up to 4%
  • The US stock-market could head a lot higher and grow dramatically
  • A medium-to-long term increase on banks and corporate earnings
  • Increase in jobs
  • The repatriation of foreign earnings and companies who had previously relocated (causing some understandable fears in Europe and China about possible economic losses in the coming years).

Istituto Marangoni, the leading Italian fashion, art and design school, announces the Group expansion into the Americas with the opening of the first US School in Miami’s Design District, the 10th in the world.

Istituto Marangoni was founded in 1935 in Milan and has more than 80 years of history and success in training the top professionals of Fashion and Design. Istituto Marangoni can praise itself for the education of four generations of students from 5 continents and for having launched over 45,000 professionals in fashion and luxury fields. It currently educates 4,000 students per year from 107 countries at its schools, located in Milano (the School of Fashion and the School of Design), Firenze (School of Fashion & Art), Paris, London, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Mumbai and Miami, the international capitals of fashion, design and luxury.

The prestigious school will now deliver the bran’s proven and unparalleled education model to top students throughout the US and Latin America.

The institution consistently plays a key role in shaping global fashion trends and holds the merit of creating some of the biggest names in the industry, including Domenico Dolce, Franco Moschino, Alessandro Sartori (Zegna Group Creative Director), Paula Cademartori, Julie de Libran (Artistic Director of Sonia Rykiel), Rocco Iannone (Creative Director of Pal Zileri), Maurizio Pecoraro brand owner and Istituto Marangon’s International Fashion Chair), and more.

Hakan Baykam, president of the new School, has identified the unique opportunity in Miami to pioneer a new fashion hub.

He is also curating a highprofile team of leaders for the new campus, which includes Massimo Casagrande (who is an Istituto Marangoni alumnus, founder of his own menswear label and former Versace designer) as Director of Education and Pablo Arbelaez as School Director.

” We were looking to create a new global fashion destination and selected Miami for its existing international allure and for its need for a firmly established fashion school. The city’s rapid growth in the design and art categories coupled with its accessibility to Latin America made it the perfect choice for us.”, said Baykam.

The Miami School will feature impressive course offerings beginning with short courses in winter of 2018.

Van Berkel International Srl acquires OMAS SpA

With the recent acquisition of OMAS SpA, Van Berkel International Srl, part of Rovagnati Group, continues its growth and commitment as the most prestigious company in the world for high-quality food slicers and processing equipment.
Van Berkel International Srl operates two production plants, in Italy (Albizzate) and India (Chennai), and a knife production centre in Maniago (Pordenone), with approximately seventy employees in total.
Founded in 1949, OMAS SpA has two production sites in Italy, both in the province of Varese, one for food slicers and processing equipment (Oggiona S. Stefano) and the other an aluminium foundry (Besnate), employing a total of 83 employees.
Already a market leader in 1898, when the well-known BERKEL brand was conceived, Van Berkel International Group offers its customers top end food slicers (professional and domestic) as well as a wide range of food processing equipment.
Giuliano Reas, General Manager of Van Berkel International Group, explains, “the purpose of the acquisition is to leverage the scope of both brands to consolidate Van Berkel International’s leadership in the high-end slicer segment. If Berkel is recognized throughout the world for making slicers a symbol of excellence and tradition in history, OMAS founded its brand based on the same principles and thus has affirmed itself over the years due to the high quality of its machines and the deep penetration in foreign markets”.
Therefore, the business plan envisages an expansion of the product offerings and penetration of new markets. Reas continues by saying, “we want to grow in the United States, where we opened a new branch in Miami last year, and in India, where we invested in a new and improved production site that, in the last two years, has increased the production volume of over 10,000 units/year, about half of the Group’s total production; the rest will be manufactured in the Italian plants.”

Orsoni at Venice Biennale, By Trend Group

Orsoni is a historical Venetian furnace that uses the same traits since 1888 to produce 24K gold leaf mosaics and enamels in more than 3,500 colors. While it is a traditional Italian company, rather than relying on the past, Orsoni focuses on innovation. The company seeks to convey emotions through its uniqueness and attention to detail, all firmly rooted in its passion for excellence.
Orsoni’s “color library“, is a timeless environment that preserves almost 3,500 enamels of different tones and shades from which was born the famous panel by Angelo Orsoni. This piece of art was displayed for the first time at the Universal Exhibition in Paris back in 1889, where Antonio Gaudí, the Spanish architect, was amazed with its beauty. Since then, Gaudí decided to use Orsoni mosaics in the construction of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain.
Orsoni is involved with the realization of several iconic buildings and projects such as: Trocadero and Le Sacre-Coeur in Paris, Saint Paul Cathedral in London, Rudolph Nureyev’s tomb in Paris, Norman Rockwell’s Golden Rule recreated in mosaics and many other masterpieces of Arabic and Oriental architecture.
During Milan Design Week 2017 the company introduced a world premiere -Fascino by Orsoni™- and revolutionized the surfaces industry by being the first company to launch a surface with real micro diamonds.
Orsoni will be one of the historic companies in the Venice Biennale (May 13th – November 11th, 2017), which the Pavilion Venezia will host as evidence of handcrafted Venetian artistic excellence.
In 2003, TREND Group, the world’s leading full-body glass mosaic, gold mosaic and Venetian enamel designer and producer, incorporated Orsoni and demonstrated a unique ability to synthesize the essential principles of Italian tradition with the dynamic creativity of today’s most celebrated designers, architects and artists. This was accomplished while maintaining a commitment to environmental concerns and cultural vibrancy.
