03/04/2019: Consulting Companies Beware: Eye-View of USCIS Growing H-1B Restrictive Policy Without Announcement of the New Policy

• On February 25, 2019, we reported the USCIS statistics of trend of USCIS rates of RFEs, and approvals/denials. The Center for Immigration Studies has summarized the new trend as follows:
  • USCIS adjudicators are much less likely to rubber-stamp applications, and about two and a half times more likely to ask questions (called requests for evidence, or RFEs), in 2019 than in 2015.
  • As a result of presumably inadequate answers to those questions, the approval rates have dropped from 95.7 percent in 2015 to 75.4 percent in the first three months of this fiscal year.
  • A look at the approval rates for the top 30 H-1B users in FY 18, shows that the big Indian outsourcing companies (e.g., Cognizant, Tata, and Infosys), that provide workers to other firms, are much more likely to run into denials than the major U.S. high tech firms (e.g., Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple) that employ the foreign workers directly. For example, Cognizant, the biggest user of H-1Bs in that year, had an approval rate of 68 percent; meanwhile, Microsoft, the largest of the U.S. firms using these workers, and number six on the overall list, had an approval rate of 99 percent. These percentages, as we will show below, reflect the general treatment of these two groups of employers.
• For analysis in details, please read the report!
• Employers will soon face a new reality of FY 2020 H-1B cap filing season that opens on April 1, 2019. The foregoing trends of the USCIS against the consulting businesses had emerged silently and behind the screen. Now, on top of this trend, consulting companies should face added challenges ahead in the H-1B cap season with the change of cap selection procedures that give priority to U.S. school master degree graduates over foreign school graduates and high-salary petitions will be preferred over the low-salary petitions. Please beware of challenging times faced by consulting businesses ahead.
