L-1B Guidance

For several years, DHS has been working on guidance on the definition of specialized knowledge.  It is expected that in the coming months this guidance will be issued, perhaps by December or January.

 

Revisions to Adjustment of Status

The process for allowing individuals who are the beneficiaries of approved I-140 petitions to file for adjustment will be amended by regulation, to be proposed by USCIS, with a proposal hopefully to be published by spring and a final rule by the end of 2015.  The new adjustment regulations would reflect revisions to how the State Department uses the Visa Bulletin – these underlying changes can be implemented by State without regulation.  Allowing more sponsored workers to file for adjustment gives the workers and their families portability and allows employers to make employment, promotion, and assignment decisions without worrying about staying within the confines of the long-ago filed Labor Certification.  treat these sponsored workers like the high potential individuals that lead to their hire.  This will not be a “pre-registration” process, since a regular I-485 Adjustment will be filed, and will not be “early filing” because the Visa Bulletin will permit the filings (and thus they aren’t “early”).

 

STEM Students

The Administration is expected to publish proposed rules in the spring that would:  (a) increase the number of years that STEM graduates can remain in the US under post-completion optional practical training (OPT) – this would be for F-1 students earning degrees at US universities in STEM fields, and (b) allow individuals whose first college degree is in STEM but second degree (like MBAs with undergraduate engineering degrees) to also qualify for STEM OPT.  It might be considered to propose that dual intent be recognized for F-1 students in this same NPRM, but this has not been decided.  It is likely the proposed rule will require that the post-completion relationship will be strengthened between F-1 students and their universities.  In addition, it is possible that the STEM field list might be expanded – such expansion can be done by ICE under its current regulation.

 

Entrepreneurs

There will be policy guidance issued that will allow “researchers, inventors, and founders” to qualify for National Interest Waivers under the Employment-Based Second Preference category.  It is not clear how much that will help existing companies who are creating new jobs with research and development efforts.  In addition, a regulation will be promulgated identifying criteria that entrepreneurs might satisfy to either be paroled into the US or be granted parole-in-place (if they are already here).  Note that individuals in the US under parole may not adjust status in the US to green card through Employment –Based preferences, but could adjust status through family immigration.

 

H-4 Dependents

DHS hopes to publish a final rule in December or January regarding work authorization for the spouses of H‑1B workers being sponsored for green cards.  It is not known whether the final rule will be broader than the NPRM published in May of this year.

 

PERM regulation will be revised

DOL will go through a process to streamline the PERM process, ultimately leading to an NPRM.

 

Presidential Memorandum on visa modernization

A “PM process” will be undertaken with a timeline of 120 or 180 days to further consider recapture and various other issues, including small but meaningful changes to a variety of immigration rules and procedures at the Departments of State, Commerce, Education, Agriculture and Homeland Security, along with SBA.

 

Interagency cooperation on worksite enforcement

ICE coordination with DOL will be strengthened regarding worksite enforcement, along with ensuring better cooperation between ICE worksite enforcement and DOJ (Office of Special Counsel), the NLRB, and the EEOC.
