USCIS Memorandum on Acceptance of H-1B Petitions without Certified LCAs
Please see the attached memorandum released by the USCIS on Dec 10,09.
USCIS Updates FY 2010 H-1B and H-2B Count (Updated 12/17/09)
As of December 15, 2009, approximately 64,200 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H-1B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H-1B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H-1B cap of 65,000.
USCIS Reaches FY 2010 H-1B Cap for FY 2010
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2010. USCIS is hereby notifying the public that Dec. 21, 2009 is the “final receipt date” for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment start date in FY 2010.

H-1B - Specialty Occupation
We were recently retained to address a strange problem. An H-1 petition was approved, but the parties did not receive the approval notice for two years. The notice was apparently lost in the mail. They submitted an application for a duplicate approval notice, which also was issued and also lost in the mail. The employer then filed an application for an extension of status, which was granted without an I-94 attached to it.
Status
The case was approved by USCIS with the I-94 attached.

H-1B - Specialty Occupation
Our client, an electronic document management company was issued Intent to Revoke from the Texas Service <span style="font-size: 1
Status
The Beneficiary’s I-129 petition was approved shortly after we filed the Response.
Nonimmigrant Visas
H-1B - Specialty Occupation
The consulate revoked an H-1B in 1999. The client received notification of the revocation from USCIS in 2004. In the mean time he was still working in USA. We argued against these inconsistent and unconstitutional procedures and submitted an application for extension of his status in 2004.
Status
H-1B extension approved.
Nonimmigrant Visas
H-1B - Specialty Occupation
We have filed no less than 200 cases where USCIS had denied the application or objected to an application based on the fact that the title and position did not require professional level employees. So far, we have won almost all the cases we have filed on motions to reopen or as new filings.
Status
H-1B extension approved.
