The new law allows H-1B status to be extended beyond the typical 6-year maximum if over 365 days have passed since filing an application for labor certification or an employment-based immigrant petition. Extensions will be granted in one-year increments until a final decision is made on the application for permanent residency. Family members are also eligible for extensions of their H-4 status as long as the principal H-1B recipient receives an extension. However, family members cannot continue working under their own H-1B status past 6 years unless independently eligible.

The final version of the long-awaited U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulation, “Retention of EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 Immigrant Workers and Program Improvements Affecting High-Skilled Nonimmigrant Workers,” was recently promulgated and it is due to take effect on January 17, 2017.

Bashyam Spiro LLP - Hot Topics In Employment Based Immigration
The document discusses key topics in employment-based immigration, including PERM labor certification process reforms, options for cases filed under the old process, H-1B visa issues, and green card processing times. Under the new PERM system, employers must conduct recruitment before applying and offer the prevailing wage. Pending cases were transferred to Backlog Reduction Centers with uncertain processing times. Converting an old case to PERM risks losing priority dates or the ability to extend H-1B status beyond six years. Faster green card processing is occurring at some service centers.

There are two primary ways to become a US citizen: by birth in the US or by naturalization. To naturalize, one must generally be a lawful permanent resident for 5 years, meet residency requirements, demonstrate good moral character, pass English and civics tests, and take the Oath of Allegiance. US citizens can then sponsor relatives like spouses, children, and parents to become lawful permanent residents. However, the process involves forms, visas, background checks, and overcoming potential issues like proving a marriage is valid.

How to Get an H1B Visa from India: A Complete Guide
Getting an H1B visa can be a challenging process, especially for applicants from India due to the high demand. However, with proper preparation and following the right steps, your chances of securing an H1B visa improve significantly. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about getting an H1B work visa from India.
What is an H1B Visa?
The H1B visa is a popular non-immigrant work visa that allows foreign workers to live and work in the United States temporarily. It is issued for up to 3 years at a time, with the possibility of extending to a total of 6 years.
To be eligible for H1B sponsorship, the foreign worker must have a job offer from a US employer for a professional position that requires specialized skills and a bachelor's degree or higher. The visa petition is filed by the employer, not the employee.
H1B visas are quota-based, with an annual cap of 65,000 visas issued each fiscal year. An additional 20,000 visas are allocated to those with advanced degrees from US universities.

The New Senate Immigration Reform Bill
In April 2013, the Senate ‘Gang of Eight’ released its proposal for overhauling our nation’s immigration system. Call the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (s.744), this bill proposes to eliminate the current immigration backlog, create new visa categories for high-skilled and skilled workers, overhaul our green card application system, and address the statuses of approximately 11 million undocumented workers in the United States.
Although only a bill at this point, this is the first serious effort by a bi-partisan group to address the immigration program in quite some time. In this informative webinar, attorneys Murali Bashyam and Ame Coats will educate the public on the bill and what they can expect if it, or something similar, is ultimately passed by Congress and signed by the President.

The New Senate Immigration Reform Bill
In April 2013, the Senate ‘Gang of Eight’ released its proposal for overhauling our nation’s immigration system. Call the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (s.744), this bill proposes to eliminate the current immigration backlog, create new visa categories for high-skilled and skilled workers, overhaul our green card application system, and address the statuses of approximately 11 million undocumented workers in the United States.
Although only a bill at this point, this is the first serious effort by a bi-partisan group to address the immigration program in quite some time. In this informative webinar, attorneys Murali Bashyam and Ame Coats will educate the public on the bill and what they can expect if it, or something similar, is ultimately passed by Congress and signed by the President.
BASHYAM SPIRO WEBINAR - I-601A Stateside Provisional Waiver 3.20.13
Effective March 4, 2013, the Department of Homeland Security will begin a new process for adjudication of these waiver applications. Under the new process, certain foreign spouses delay returning to their home country until a “provisional waiver” is approved in the U.S. The new process will drastically reduce the amount of time that the foreign spouse has to remain in his or her home country. Hopefully, the new process will also provide some measure of confidence that the foreign spouse will indeed return to the US.

It details the income requirements sponsors must meet based on household size and allows alternatives like assets or joint sponsors if income is insufficient. The obligations and potential enforcement consequences of the I-864 by government agencies or the immigrant are also outlined.

H-1B ‘Right To Control’ RFEs: What to Expect and How to Answer Them
Today, immigration practitioners and employers have needed to adapt to a myriad of changes in the H-1B professional worker program. It started a few years ago with stricter USCIS requirements on an H-1B employee’s itinerary if placed at an off-site work location. Then, in January 2010, the USCIS released the Neufeld Memo which redefined the employer-employee relationship, and made it harder for staffing firms to apply for H-1B visas.
This presentation outlines how the USCIS has implemented this memo by issuing lengthy Requests for Evidence (RFE) on the ‘right to control’ issue, what to expect from a typical RFE, as well as how to properly respond to these RFEs to give H1B cases the best chance for success.
