We are ECSTATIC to share this Breaking News: Immigration Voice succeeds in protecting its members and getting USCIS to change its policy regarding H-1B renewal Before anyone else, Immigration Voice informed its members that USCIS was considering a policy that would prevent our members from getting H-1B extension beyond the 6th year. We exposed this possible catastrophic development (https://www.facebook.com/ImmigrationVoice/posts/1716278135105070) on December 18, 2017. Because we are widely followed by reporters, many of whom conducted their own investigation on this issue and determined this development to be legitimate. This media coverage based on the outrage created IV Advocacy on this immediate issue affecting lots of people across the country, USCIS has announced to us that it is retracting its policy to deny all H-1B visa through year 6 based on section 104. This is a GREAT development. And we thank USCIS to make the right decision. Immigration Voice members nevertheless should remain alert and remain active in pushing for bill H.R.392 because UCSIS will not stop looking for reasons to deny individual renewal applications. We have been able to prevent the blanket denial but there is expected to be uptick in the individual case denial. USCIS retraction statement specifically said that it will not issue blanket H-1B denials based on section 104, but it has not commented on the very high rate of denial for the individual cases. This is a proof that when immigrant community comes in together to advocate for sane policies, it results in a success. We need to do the same thing with the bill H.R.392 |
