Subject: USCIS Office of Public Engagement: Updates on Employment Based Visas and Transformation
Dear Stakeholder-
1) USCIS Announces Use of Fiscal Year 2011 Employment-Based Visa Allocations
We have received a series of reversals and remands from the USCIS appeals office (“AAO”) where we had argued that the USCIS had erroneously and illegally revoked approved I-140 petitions. The grounds of appeal in the cases involved:
Failure to prove qualifications of employee because the documentation of experience was insufficient;
Successorship-in-interest of companies, where one company was acquired by another;
Legality of “roving jobs,” consulting positions that require periodic relocation.
