Kris Humphries' lawyer wants out of divorce case

Family Law

A lawyer for Kim Kardashian's estranged husband wants to end his involvement in the former couple's divorce proceedings.


Marshall Waller says irreconcilable differences have arisen between him and Kris Humphries, and he should be allowed to leave the case.


He filed paperwork Thursday, one day before he and Kardashian's attorney are expected to appear in court for a scheduling hearing.


Kardashian is asking a judge to schedule a trial as soon as possible, while Waller has been advocating for more time to prepare.


If Waller is allowed to leave, it could delay a judge's decision on a trial date.

USCIS to Begin Accepting Applications under the International Entrepreneur Rule

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today it is taking steps to implement the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER), in accordance with a recent court decision. Although the IER was published during the previous administration with an effective date of July 17, 2017, it did not take effect because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a final rule on July 11, 2017, delaying the IER’s effective date until March 14, 2018. This delay rule was meant to give USCIS time to review the IER and, if necessary, to issue a rule proposing to remove the IER program regulations.

However, a Dec. 1, 2017, ruling from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in National Venture Capital Association v. Duke vacated USCIS’ final rule to delay the effective date. The Dec. 1, 2017, court decision is a result of litigation filed in district court on Sept. 19, 2017, which challenged the delay rule.
