Changes To H1 Holders With 140 Approved


Recommended Posts

Posted

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to announce that after almost 9 years of hard work on the issue of skilled immigration backlogs, we finally have good news to report. The Obama administration has issued an administrative order with reforms to both skilled immigration and other areas where reform was long overdue.

Going forward, it will be easier to use a new provision called “Pre-Register” where employees who have approved labor and I-140 would be able to gain benefits of adjustment of status even when the dates are not current. This has been, by far, the most sought after and in-demand provision for us in last 9 years. Skilled employees would be able to switch jobs, apply for EAD and advance parole and also not have to worry about the new job being the same or similar, as the new administrative order liberalizes the definition of what constitutes same or similar job. In addition to this, the administration is making it possible to port the green-card petition from one employer to another so that applicants do not have to start with labor certification again should their employment end after they are quite far along in the process.

Spouses who are on H-4 visa would be able to apply for work permit and receive EAD via the proposed H-4 EAD rule. Additionally, they will also qualify for an EAD through the pre-registration step with primary applicant of green-card process. This will make life easier for thousands of skilled family members who get left out of opportunities due to H1B quota restrictions.

We stood up for ourselves and started this organization 9 years ago with this goal. Other than additional visa numbers, every single one of our ask-list items has been included in the administrative reform. This has not been easy and it has not been automatic. Democracy operates slowly and certainly for those who stand up for themselves and speak out. This is the fruit of almost a decade of hard work of our organization and the members who’ve dedicated to this cause whole-heartedly, spent enormous amounts of money and stormed the DC policy circles even when there was a smallest ray of hope. We had a silver lining of hope with H.R. 3012, and now, today, we have bright sunny future ahead of us.

One final note, before we start celebrating, we have to be savvy and bold about this issue. We have to speak positively about this with social media, press, policy makers, friends, colleagues and everyone we discuss this with. Please do not get mired into the politically radioactive issue of undocumented immigrants who are also getting a well-deserved relief tonight. They are our brothers and sisters in this struggle and they deserve a break from congressional gridlock too. After all, when their family is hungry, they do not have the luxury of pontificating about the Hastert rule and Senate cloture motion requirements. They needed a break. So did we. And we got it.

With warm regards,
Aman Kapoor

As you know, our employment-based immigration system is afflicted with 
extremely long waits for immigrant visas, or "green cards," due to relatively low green 
card numerical limits established by Congress 24 years ago in 1990. The effect of these 
caps is further compounded by an immigration system that has often failed to issue all of 
the immigrant visas authorized by Congress for a fiscal year. Hundreds of thousands of 
such visas have gone unissued in the past despite heavy demand for them. 
 
 
To correct this problem, I hereby direct USCIS to take several steps to modernize 
and improve the immigrant visa process. First, USCIS should continue and enhance its 
work with the Department of State to ensure that all immigrant visas authorized by 
Congress are issued to eligible individuals when there is sufficient demand for such 
visas. Second, I ask that USCIS work with the Department of State to improve the 
system for determining when immigrant visas are available to applicants during the fiscal 
year. The Department of State has agreed to modify its visa bulletin system to more 
simply and reliably make such determinations, and I expect USCIS to revise its current 
regulations to reflect and complement these proposed modifications.
