Nisha03 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Any hopes on executive action on - Modernize, improve and clarify immigrant and nonimmigrant visa program this year? Link to comment
desidesmoines Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sir, application start date for DACA and DAPA was announced but not a word about legal immigrations. Any reason?? Do law breakers get priority?? Link to comment
hanuman09 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 "Modernize, improve and clarify immigrant and nonimmigrant visa program this year?" I think this will be implemented in March/April timeframe. I think I read somewhere in AILA article. Murthy attorneys may confirm. Regardless, We need to give it atleast 3 to 4 months from Nov 20th. It takes time to implement these things. DHS, DOS, USCIS, etc are involved and would need to work together to implement president's directives. Link to comment
mohanbabu400 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Any hopes on executive action on - Modernize, improve and clarify immigrant and nonimmigrant visa program this year? Some where its said that these actions require change in the regulations. Any change in the regulation usually requires about 9 months time. But as this is executive action, USCIS et al are trying to make it in 6 months. Have to wait to hear from Attorneys if they have any more information on this Link to comment
dakshinabalu Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Already DACA [Obama executive action deferred action for child hood arrivals] applications are accepting starting from Feb 18th onwards, see the below link http://www.uscis.gov/immigrationaction Link to comment
hanuman09 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 DAKSHIAN - We are not talking about DACA here. Most people on this forum don't care about DACA. As Nisha mentioned above, all of us want to know when "Modernize, improve and clarify immigrant and nonimmigrant visa program this year" this will be implemented. Link to comment
Attorney_6 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 "Modernize, improve and clarify..." is not a single action. The government requested input/ideas for improvements on a broad scale. Some of the proposed changes would be policy/procedure changes. Other things would require regulations. This is not a one time overhaul. Link to comment
dilemmaGC Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi Attroney_6: When can we see movement in this regard? An approximate time frame would be hepful to folks like me. Do update us. Link to comment
permaudit Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Attonery_6, I am with Company A working for Client B. I have my i140 approved with Company A and about to extend my H1 beyond 6 years based on approved I140. Now the Client B wants to hire me full time. Is it ok for me to join Client B? They are are ready to sponsor H1 (based on previous I140 approval from Company A) and GC for me right away, but as you all know it would take a min of 1 year to get theI140 approval. In the mean time can Company A revoke my I140? If so will I loose my priority date and ability to extend my H1 prior to 6 years. This is a classic case to show why we need pre-registration for I140 approvals, but since we dont know anything about the Executive Orders, what are my best options? Thank you! Link to comment

The client B can file a new H1B petition based on approved I-140 and you will get a petition approved for the next 3 years (provided everything else is good on your application). So, you have 3 years to get started with a new I-140. Link to comment
hanuman09 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Attorney-6 you state "Some of the proposed changes would be policy/procedure changes. Other things would require regulations. This is not a one time overhaul." I don't think people on this forum really care about the technicalities. People wanna know "WHEN" these changes would go into effect. Link to comment

Dude, if you go through this forum then you will clearly understand why Attorneys are not able to give you "WHEN" these changes would get into effect. There are no exact timelines or deadlines to complete the process. So no one knows when these rules will get effective from. Link to comment
hanuman09 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Rahul, I already went through the entire forum and i am aware of past Attorneys comments. Attorneys sometimes have access to information that you and I don't. So it's always good to ask them frequently. Link to comment
H4renewal Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Issue GC to all instead issuing EAD for H4, how that make sense if issue GC to all approved I-140's? many small countries immigration process is more clear than USA. Link to comment

Please understand the GC process. GC's cannot be issued for all, since there are limited number of GC's every year. Link to comment

rahul412 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I understand but that applies only for Indians citizens. that not make sense.. No, that's wrong. It applies for every one, please read the process how GC's are issued. http://www.uscis.gov/tools/glossary/country-limit Link to comment
