DOL Releases H-2A 2010 Final Rule FAQs
The Department has posted the first round of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) addressing the H-2A program under the new regulations, which took effect March 15, 2010. To see the FAQs check the attachment.
Physician in Medically Underserved Area, EB2/NIW
We have recently won a case for a physician working in several rural clinics as well as his private practice within a medically underserved area. We were retained following a denial of the I-140 petition for NIW. We filed an appeal as well as an amended (new) I-140 application to show that the physician had met the 5-year service requirements for an NIW. The applicant had moved from one medically underserved area to another while the original I-140 was pending. The issue was whether an “amendment” could have been filed in this case to notify USCIS of the move without an approved I-140.

Update for DACA Recipients Who Received 3-Year Work Permits
USCIS has accounted for over 99 percent of the approximately 2,600 identified invalid work permits requiring return. Twenty-two of the approximately 2,600 recipients failed to return their work permits or certify good cause for not doing so by the deadline of July 30, 2015. As a result, those 22 have been terminated from DACA.
Oath Ceremony
Went through my Oath Ceremony on Wednesday. It was a tremendous event and I'm very proud to now be a US Citizen. There were 727 applicants and numerous family members present at The Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA. Surprisingly the process of getting us to our seats, starting the Ceremony and handing out the Naturalization Certificates went very smoothly, USCIS has done this a number of times so I guess they have the system figured out pretty well.

Passport application experience
I just returned from my trip and it was amazing. I wanted to share that my passport application experience was stress free. I made an appointment and took all of the documents they requested which included the travel itinerary or letter from my employer about my job related travel. I had both but they only used one and I also paid the expedited fee . My appointment was on Wednesday at 1:00 PM. I spent 45 min in total and was asked to return 11:30 AM Thursday to collect it.
