the Biden administration delayed asylum restrictions and walked back rules revising aspects of the H-2A and H-1B programs, following a freeze on new regulations. On Wednesday, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification said it had pulled the final H-2A rule, and also withdrew a request for comments on a new H-1B policy as the Dept. of Labor reassesses its stance on both. The agency said it withdrew the rule prior to publication “for the purpose of reviewing issues of law, fact, and policy,” therefore not taking effect. Attorney Allen Orr, president-elect AILA, stated that he is “relieved that we are not going to have the burden of figuring out a new regulation during the heaviest season for employment immigration.”
