TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
TOUGHENS H-1B VISA RENEWAL PROCESS
This week, US Citizenship and Immigration Services advised
its officers to "apply the same level of scrutiny" to extension
requests for the H-1B visa, among other sought-after visas. CNN
reported officers are instructed to review requests for renewal as
thoroughly as they would initial visa applications. The directive
rescinds the previous guidance, which gave "deference" to
previously approved visas as long as the key elements were
unchanged and there was no evidence of a material error or fraud
related to the prior determination. Immigration attorney Chris
Wright of The Wright Law Firm told CNNMoney that it fits a broader
pattern: "It seems clear that USCIS have been instructed to push
back wherever they can ..." he said, noting that "the prevailing
attitude seems to be, 'How might we be able to deny this
petition?'"
本周,美国公民及移民服务局建议其工作人员和其他受欢迎的签证一样,对于工作签证的延期申请也要进行同样级别的审查。CNN报道中指出,工作人员被指示对于延期申请的审查要和首次申请签证的审查一下仔细和彻底。负责人已经废除了之前只要关键信息没有改变及没有关于之前认定的材料错误和欺骗,就可以给延期签证提前许可的政策。
Wright律师事务所的移民律师Chris Wright告诉CNN
Money,这趋势蔓延开来,又说:很显然,美国公民及移民服务局已经被指示要想尽一切办法拖延颁发工作签证。然而现在大家的普遍的态度是,我们又有什么能力去拒绝这项诉求呢?
