with the way H1B visa extensions are issued in India right now....if you are going to stick with the same employer, it won't be a big deal to travel outside US without EAD/AP. EAD is more to give you freedom so that you can change jobs as per your goals (and not having GC as a goal  )
Well - if this call isn't harming us...that's great. If anything at all is going to actually materialize (in terms of I-140 EAD, AC21 Job porting etc) within a "defined" timeframe...that's good. | ||

USCIS already submitted recommendations to WH.. so thats good. They have completed economic aspects of i140 EAD which is also good. AC21 approval on EAD change anedi will effect existing EADs (h4 eads, f1 eads, old H1b eads).. thats like opening pandora box. Dont think that will even be considered given WH's decision to increase "portability of jobs". Ranbir Kapoor is god of acting | ||

Moreover, from this call it was clear that USCIS did NOTHING in the last 3 months as far as Exec.Act is concerned... | ||

essentially the call was mostly useless...if not harmful to employees. It was "expected" to be a "listening in" call where USCIS would talk about the Exec.Act...but it ended up as a "suggestion seeking" call...and the employer-ImmiLawer nexus came up with suggestions that will in effect harm the employees....they said something like "Give EAD to I-140 approved employees. But make it mandatory to get AC21 approved before the employee can change jobs. Also make it legal for the employer to seek legal expenses that were spent for the PERM process of such an employee". Further Explanation: 1. When one gets a job offer - usually one is expected to join within 2-3 weeks. But if "approval of AC21" is made mandatory before changing jobs (for those with I-140 EADs), no one knows how long USCIS will take to approve AC21...it can be as high as even 6 months...essentially making "changing employers" almost impossible. 2. If Employer has the right to extract the legal fee from the employee (I-140 EAD), no telling how much it'll cost....Fragoman like companies charge upwards of 15K for PERM alone. So, effectively makes it very financially not viable option for employee to leave the job...unless he is offered super high salaries. | ||

annai lu, according to a thread on IV instead of being "helpful" to employeess...this call instead turned out to be harmful. read on the live blog: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum16-iv-agenda-and-legi slative-updates/3096190-20150319-uscis-conference-call-liveb log.html | ||

Summary of USCIS “listening session” – March 19, 2015 The USCIS held a Business-Focused Immigration Enhancements Listening Ses- sion today to discuss the administration’s upcoming executive actions. The high- lights of the session included: Kevin Cummings (Chief of the Business and Foreign Workers Division of USCIS) began the presentation. He said that the USCIS is working on drafting regula- tions on the following subjects: ï‚· Parole in place for talented entrepreneurs ï‚· Clarification of NIW requirements ï‚· Amend regs to allow benefits to some workers with approved I-140s ï‚· EADs for workers with I-140s approved for an unspecified period of time ï‚· Clarify AC21 job portability standards ï‚· Resolve L1B standards ï‚· He then asked questions for public comment. The overall tenor of the USCIS questions seemed to indicate a restrictive mind- set. They asked about wanting to hear the concerns that employers have about employee job portability. They also asked whether the USCIS should publish a form and require a filing fee to pre-adjudicate job transfers under AC21 before a transfer could take place. It sounded as though they are getting pushback from employer groups concern- ing employee portability. While nothing specific was said, the overall tone sounded as if they are looking at making portability more restrictive. Nothing was said about “pre-registration” of adjustment of status applicants. Ra- ther, they are thinking about granting EAD cards to people with approved peti- tions after a specified interval (such as six months). There were a lot of comments and questions, but nothing of substance came from the “listening” portion. One interesting comment came when someone asked about filing AOS without a current priority date, they said "We can't com- ment on that but we are considering a number of such issues and discussing them with the Department of State." They said that they have been working on regulations since the President’s an- nouncement (November 20, 2014). They reiterated that it takes a long time to promulgate regulations and that nothing will happen immediately. Still, if they will work diligently on the regulations, they can publish final rules this year (2015). We will be discussing this on our immigration discussion forum at http://www.im- migration-information.com/forums/ |
