Dear Readers:
This past week H-4 visa holders submitted requests for work
authorization on Form I-765. Of course, this did not come without
some pain. The recent announcement about a premium processing
hold for H-1B extensions caused a bit of a stir. Of course, it is
likely to be "old news" by now, but the 5th Circuit did NOT grant
the government's request to stay the injunction order previously
entered by the Court. This means that while the DAPA and the
New DACA programs continue to be delayed, they are not
completely off-line. We hope that the DAPA and New DACA-
program hopefuls will stay tuned for additional developments in
the coming months. Oral argument on the merits of the case is
scheduled for July 10th.
We also note that the Spring Rule-making Agenda promulgated
by USCIS deals with a few areas that were announced by
President Obama in his Executive Actions in November. First,
there appears to be some movement toward the implementation of
"parole" status for "entrepreneurs" and "job creators" in the U.S.
Also, there are discussions about the proposal about granting work
authorization to individuals (in certain cases) who have approved
I-140s. There are attempts by the USCIS to give more clarity to
situations where Job Mobility (under Section 106(c) of AC-21)
may be utilized. Also, the DOL recently announced its desire to
see the PERM process become "modernized".
These recent announcements come on the heels of persistent and
seemingly anti-immigration climate. We continue to deal with the
"roller coaster" ride that the U.S. immigration and nationality law
continues to serve-up to us. We continue to seek additional clarity
with regard to many policy issues (such as the L-1B specialized
knowledge definition) and we hope that the AILA Conference in

H-4 VISAHOLDERS MAY WORK: USCIS PUBLISHED
FILING GUIDANCE FOR CERTAIN H-4 DEPENDENT
SPOUSES.
On May 21st, 2015, the USCIS published information to help
eligible H-4 dependent spouses who want to apply for
employment authorization under the "Employment Authorization
for Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses" final rule.
Beginning May 26th, 2015, certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-
1B nonimmigrants can file Form I-765, Application for
Employment Authorization, as long as the H-1B nonimmigrant
has already started the process of seeking employment-based
lawful permanent resident (LPR) status.
Specifically, the H-4 dependent spouse may apply for employment
authorization if the H-1B nonimmigrant meets the requirements
set-forth. Also in response to the stakeholder teleconference,
USCIS posted a "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) that can
help clarify queries for many eligible applicants.

previous editions of the form if submitted after June 1st.

H-1B CHANGING GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION?
USCIS DRAFT GUIDANCE ON WHEN TO FILE AN
AMENDED H-1B PETITION.
Based on the Simeio Solutions, LLC case, USCIS Administrative
Appeal Office (AAO), on April 9th, 2015, issued a precedent
decision which held that employers must file amended H-1B
petitions when a new Labor Condition Application for a
Nonimmigrant Worker (LCA) is required due to a change in the
H-1B worker's location. Specifically, the decision states:
1. When H-1B employees change their place of employment to a
worksite location that requires employers to certify a new Labor
Condition Application for Nonimmigrant Workers (LCA) to the
Department of Homeland Security, this change may affect the
employee's eligibility for H-1B status; it is therefore a material
change for purposes of 8 C.F.R. §§ 214.2(h)(2)(i)(E) and (11)(i)
(A) (2014).
2. When there is a material change in the terms and conditions of
employment, the petitioner must file an amended or new H−1B
petition with the corresponding LCA.
This precedent decision represents the USCIS' position that
employers are required (under certain circumstances) to file an
amended petition before placing an H-1B employee at a new
worksite. USCIS will accept comments on the below draft

NEW DACA AND DAPA UPDATE: JULY DATE SET
FOR HEARING ON OBAMA's EXECUTIVE ACTION
ON IMMIGRATION.
News published in "The Hill" reports that a federal appeals court
said it has set a date to hear an expedited appeal of a lower court
order that put President Obama's deportation relief programs on
hold.
As reported above, on July 10th, in New Orleans, the 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in the President's
attempt to lift a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District
Judge Andrew Hanen of Texas, which blocked several executive
actions from taking effect.

- BAD NEWS: 5th Circuit says DAPA and New DACA program
injunction will not be dissolved. The Texas Motor vehicle department
has a viable argument that it will get burdened by increase in drivers
license issuance.
Possible strategies are: 1. En Banc Request for Rehearing to 5th
Circuit - requires all judges to act unanimously. 2. Supreme Court
Argument - but Supreme Court out until September. 3. Supreme
Court determination only as to States affected (25)
- Good News: 1. Parole for Entrepreneurs Rule on the Spring USCIS
rule making calender.
- EAD's for I-140 approvals on the Spring USCIS rule-making
calender
- PERM Modernization announced
THE UGLY:
Immigration issues continue to be political and a roller-coaster ride.
Stay tuned for more U.S. immigration law updates.
