House to take up bill adding more visas for Afghan immigrants.

Posted on August 18, 2021 by sethlerner1964

A bill to authorize an additional 8,000 special immigrant visas for Afghan interpreters, contractors and other vulnerable allies was scheduled for House consideration on Thursday. The measure would open up the extra slots in a visa program designed to provide a safe haven for Afghan allies at risk of persecution or death if they remain in Afghanistan as the U.S. military completes its withdrawal from the country. Around 20,000 Afghans and their families are in line for the program, which has a total of 26,500 authorized slots. The State Department said around 750 SIV applicants will soon be evacuated to the U.S. and complete their processing at Fort Lee.

Posted on February 23, 2021 by sethlerner1964

An advance copy was made available of a USCIS final rule delaying until December 31, 2021, the effective date of the January 8, 2021, final rule creating a wage-based selection process for H-1Bs. The delayed effective date will be published in the Federal Register on February 8. Additionally, USCIS issued a policy memo noting that, in light of the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Innova Solutions v. Baran, effective immediately, USCIS is rescinding the 2017 policy memo (PM-602-0142), “Rescission of the December 22, 2000, ‘Guidance Memo on H1B Computer Related Positions.'”
