Dear Readers:
The White House announced a proposed rule to encourage
entrepreneurs throughout the world to develop their ideas and create
jobs in the U.S. This long-awaited initiative is part of the executive
actions announced in November 2014.
Under current immigration law, Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) has discretionary authority to grant parole on a case-by-
case basis to individuals who offer a "significant public benefit."
Under the proposed rule, an entrepreneur of a start-up company
could be paroled into the United States for up to two years if he or
she provides a "significant public benefit" by advancing the U.S.
economy, enhancing innovation, generating capital investments,
and creating jobs. Each applicant would be required to show the
start-up was created in the last three years and the applicant
retains a substantial ownership interest and an active, central role
in the start-up's day-to-day operations.
Upon being granted parole, the entrepreneur would be authorized to
work only for the start-up and could be accompanied by his or her
spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old. The spouse also
could receive work authorization. However, parole does not confer
any legal immigration status and does not provide a parolee with
temporary nonimmigrant status or lawful permanent resident

U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW ALERT: USCIS PROPOSES
LONG OVERDUE RULE TO WELCOME
INTERNATIONAL ENTREPRENEURS.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is proposing a
new rule, which would allow certain international entrepreneurs to
be considered for parole (temporary permission to be in the United
States) so that they may start or scale their businesses here in the
United States.
Read the advance version of the notice of proposed rulemaking:
International Entrepreneur Rule. Once the notice of proposed
rulemaking is published in the Federal Register, the public will
have 45 days from the date of publication to comment.
"America's economy has long benefited from the contributions of
immigrant entrepreneurs, from Main Street to Silicon Valley," said
Director León Rodríguez. "This proposed rule, when finalized, will
help our economy grow by expanding immigration options for
foreign entrepreneurs who meet certain criteria for creating jobs,
attracting investment and generating revenue in the U.S."

THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINS THE SAME IS
"CHANGE": NEW FORM I-129S FOR
INTRACOMPANY TRANSFEREES REQUIRED FOR
BLANKET PETITIONS AFTER AUGUST 29th, 2016.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("CIS")
recently promulgated a revised Form I-129S, NONIMMIGRANT
PETITION BASED ON BLANKET L PETITION. CIS announced
that this document must be used exclusively in applications filed
with after August 29th and the U.S. Department of State ("DOS")
has confirmed that applicants for Blanket L-1 petition
classification at United States consulates abroad must present the
new document at interviews scheduled after August 29th, 2016.
Thus, any individuals who have a Blanket L petition and
supporting documents using the current I-129s Form must apply
for a visa prior to August 29th or update their presentations with
the new form. Most of the changes to the new I-129s Form are
cosmetic but there are some significant differences.

On the new I-129s Form, more detail is required as to the
specifics of prior employment, including listing dates of
employment and the proposed salary. It also requires the employer
to identify "the percentage of time the beneficiary will spend
performing the duties on a daily basis in the proposed U.S.
position." At this point it is not clear how detailed this breakdown
needs to be.

AVOID PAYMENT SCAMS: USCIS DOES NOT
ACCEPT FEES BY PHONE OR E-MAIL
Immigrants all over the country are being targeted in scams. Don't
be one of the victims! Scammers may call or email you, pretending
to be a government official. They will say that there is a problem
with an application or additional information is required to
continue the immigration process. They will then ask for personal
and sensitive details, and demand payment to fix any problems.
Remember, USCIS officials will never ask for payment over the
phone or in an email. If USCIS need payment, USCIS will mail a
letter on official stationery requesting payment.
If you receive a scam e-mail or phone call, report it to the Federal
Trade Commission at http://1.usa.gov/1suOHSS. If you are not
sure if it is a scam, forward the suspicious email to the USCIS
Webmaster at uscis.webmaster@uscis.dhs.gov. USCIS will
review the e-mails received and share with law enforcement
agencies as appropriate.

USCIS ASSISTS IN $20 MILLION VISA FRAUD
INVESTIGATION CONCERNING H-1B VISAS.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services assisted with an
investigation that has led to Raju Kosuri, 44, and Smriti Jharia,
45, a married couple from Ashburn, pleading guilty to charges of
conspiracy to defraud the United States and visa fraud, among
other charges.
Kosuri and Jharia were indicted on April 27th. According to the
statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, Kosuri, Jharia,
and their co-conspirators fraudulently applied for more than 900
illegal immigration benefits under the H-1B visa program. Since
2008, and at a much greater scale since 2011, Kosuri has built a
staffing business that amounts to a visa-for-sale system, which
violates federal law. Kosuri and Jharia also admitted to defrauding
the Small Business Administration (SBA) in connection with a
scheme to obtain HUBZone certification for a business named
EcomNets Federal Solutions. Kosuri agreed to forfeit proceeds of
his fraud schemes in the amount of $20,900,000.

DOS UPDATE: VISA BULLETIN FOR SEPTEMBER
2016. CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR PRIORITY DATE IS
CURRENT. IF SO, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
DOS reports that the infusion of FY 2017 visa numbers will make
EB-4 India and EB-4 Mexico current in October. The final action
date for EB-4 El Salvador / Guatemala / Honduras should move to
a date sometime in the summer of 2015, and possibly beyond.
Given the high applicant demand in this category for El Salvador
relative to the other two countries, it is possible that we will see a
more advanced final action date for Guatemala and Honduras.

CHECK OUT OUR LAW FIRM'S INSTRUCTIVE
IMMIGRATION LAW VIDEOS: WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT SWITCHING STUDENT VISAS TO H-
1B VISAS AND H-1B FILINGS.
Which petitions and beneficiaries qualify for a F-1 visa to H-1B
visa cap gap extension ?
H-1B petitions must be timely filed on behalf of an eligible F-1
student. Timely filed means that the H-1B application (indicating
change of status rather than consular processing) was filed during
the H1B acceptance period, while the student's authorized duration
of status (D/S) admission was still in effect (including any period
of time during the academic course of study, any authorized
periods of post-completion OPT, and the 60-day departure
preparation period, commonly known as the grace period.)
Once a timely filing has been made, the automatic cap gap
extension will begin and will continue until the H-1B process has
been completed. If the F-1 student's H-1B petition is selected and
approved, the student's extension will continue through September
30th unless the petition is denied or revoked. If the student's H-1B
petition is not selected, the student will have the standard 60-day
grace period from the date of the rejection notice to prepare for and
depart the United States. Students are strongly encouraged to stay
in close communication with their petitioning employer during the
cap gap extension period for status updates on the H-1B petition
processing. A Form I-797, Notice of Action, with a valid receipt
number, is evidence that the petition was filed and accepted.

Two groups of family based immigrant visa categories, including
immediate relatives and family preference categories, are provided
under the provisions of United States immigration law,
specifically the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Immediate Relative Immigrant Visas (Unlimited): These visa types
are based on a close family relationship with a United States
(U.S.) citizen described as an Immediate Relative (IR). The number
of immigrants in these categories is not limited each fiscal year.
Immediate relative visa types include:
IR-1: Spouse of a U.S. Citizen - Learn More
IR-2: Unmarried Child Under 21 Years of Age of a U.S. Citizen
IR-3: Orphan adopted abroad by a U.S. Citizen - Learn More

IR-5: Parent of a U.S. Citizen who is at least 21 years old

family preference immigrants, shown at the end of each category.

Family First Preference (F1): Unmarried sons and daughters of
U.S. citizens, and their minor children, if any. (23,400)
Family Second Preference (F2): Spouses, minor children, and
unmarried sons and daughters (age 21 and over) of LPRs. At least
seventy-seven percent of all visas available for this category will

unmarried sons and daughters. (114,200)
Family Third Preference (F3): Married sons and daughters of U.S.
citizens, and their spouses and minor children. (23,400)
Family Fourth Preference (F4): Brothers and sisters of U.S.
