DHS proposes ending USCIS deference policy for visa extensions
Original: IMMIGRATION NEWS—DHS proposes ending USCIS deference policy for nonimmigrant worker extensions
The Department of Homeland Security has proposed eliminating the USCIS deference policy, under which officials generally extend approval for nonimmigrant worker visas unless circumstances have changed. Ending the policy would allow renewed scrutiny of extension applications, potentially making it harder for employers to keep foreign workers on H-1B and similar visas. Immigration practitioners and businesses are watching the proposal closely for its impact on skilled-worker hiring.
Why now: The DHS proposal would change how nonimmigrant worker visa extensions are decided, affecting employers and foreign workers.
