1. We have received word that DHS is very seriously looking into changing the definition of “specialty occupation” for the purpose of H1-B and that DHS is looking into perhaps ending H1-B extensions after six years of H1-B visa. This is a new existential threat to those stuck in the green card backlog. Right now, we are merely trying to get ahead of this developing situation and trying to caution over 1.2 million immigrants so you have time to prepare and plan for yourself and your families.

call summary from Immigration Voice... 

The highlights of the call and the specific action items were: 

1. We have received word that DHS is very seriously looking into changing the definition of “specialty occupation” for the purpose of H1-B and that DHS is looking into perhaps ending H1-B extensions after six years of H1-B visa. This is a new existential threat to those stuck in the green card backlog. Right now, we are merely trying to get ahead of this developing situation and trying to caution over 1.2 million immigrants so you have time to prepare and plan for yourself and your families. 

2. As shared earlier, DHS has issued the intent to modify the H4-EAD rule. We expect that the proposed rule will be made public in/prior to February 2018. In the meantime, we are weighing options on behalf of the community to make sure that folks on the main street are not deprived of their ability to provide for their families. To bring more media attention to our issue, we need your help to share your story. Please share your H4-EAD and/or Kids aging-out story at http://yourstory.immigrationvoice.org. These stories will help underscore the overall issue and bring attention to the fact that the revocation of the H4-EAD will hurt our families. 

3. The fact is that the root cause of all these quality of life issues is Per-Country limits. Which is why the bill H.R.392 is essential for everyone stuck in the backlog. We have suggested amending bill H.R.392 with a provision to add a fee of $1,000 for anyone who will benefit from this bill. This fix will help raise $4 billion over 10 years which will provide the much-needed revenue for any congressional priority, including border security, infrastructure, or, interior security. We have been working on this idea for a few months and we believe that this fix will help create more reasons for Congress to pass the bill H.R.392. 

4. We have come a long way with our bill H.R.392. The bill is now at a critical stage and it needs your full participation to make the closing argument and push it through the finish line. We need you to set up meetings with your House Representative and both your Senators Office in the district to deliver a specific message outlined in the guide here: bit.ly/hr392dec2017guide Please note that this is the most important action item right now. 

We believe that if we manage to get H.R.392 done soon, we might be able to forestall the calamity that would befall upon us if 7th-year H1-B visa extensions were ended. This is because the whole purpose of a 7th-year H1-B extension is to allow the beneficiary to stay in the country to get a Green Card. With a multi-decade year-long wait, the beneficiary will likely never get a Green Card and the 7th year extension is moot. However, if Per-Country limit bill passes and the green card wait times reduce to an estimated six years, it will help alleviate the underlying problem for the symptoms which require an H4-EAD, the definition of “specialty occupation” and/or the 7th year H1-B extension. 

Which is why it is most important, that while we try to address the symptom of the problem (the need for H4-EAD), we focus our attention on Per-Country limits bill to make sure everyone is treated fairly and equally. 

Lastly, we would like to tell you that this is a dire situation and our community has not been acting very intelligently over the last few years. There is no more time for games, tweeting, Facebook posts, or online petitioning your way out of this current situation. If you are serious about doing something about the issues affecting you and your families, then please note that the bill needs old-fashioned face-to-face district level meetings with the Office of Members of Congress to move the needle on your issues. 

Always remember that none of the 300+ Members of Congress decided to cosponsor our bill because of any tweeting or Facebook posts. So please use your precious time wisely. And focus on the legitimate Action Item: bit.ly/hr392dec2017guide 

All your future depends on the bill H.R.392

Employers may want to keep in mind that although the abstracts listed in the agenda seemingly have the potential to impact many areas of the immigration system, it is premature to draw conclusions about the effect of these proposed changes without first seeing the text of the rules themselves—none of which have been released, and some of which may not even be drafted. Additionally, both the agenda itself and the timing for the rules, are aspirational; in prior years, only a select number of proposals have actually turned into rules, and ever fewer have actually followed the stated timelines. As noted previously, for example, a proposed regulation on the electronic registration system for H-1B quota petitions was originally introduced in 2011, but no further action occurred.

Should a proposed rule actually be issued, the agencies must conform to the notice-and-comment protocols of the Administrative Procedure Act. Effectively, this requires the agency to issue a proposed rule that explains the agency’s plan to accomplish a certain goal or address a problem.  This is followed by a comment period, during which time any interested parties can submit comments about the proposed rule. Prior to issuing the final rule, the agency must review all comments and indicate its reasoning for either modifying the rule on account of a comment or explain why the proposed comment does not merit a revision to the rule. Rulemaking is typically a prolonged process that takes a minimum of several months to accomplish. In other words, a proposed rule (which is different than most of the abstracts found in this agenda, which only state the intent to issue a rule) would be the first step in what could be a complex and lengthy rulemaking process that may take many months before promulgation of any final rule.

Finally, employers may want to take note that many of the administration’s prior attempts to enact changes to the immigration system have been subject to lengthy and robust legal challenges. Any such litigation on a proposed rule could increase the timeline for implementation, assuming the rule survives the legal challenge at all.

In summary, although the agenda provides some insight into the goals of the administration on employment-based immigration, the publication of the agenda itself does not alter the status quo.
