Thank you Senator Jerry Moran for this bipartisan support. Please ensure that our Afghan Allies are protected.

"Shev Dalal-Dheini... stated that Canada’s policy directly targets the failures of the U.S. #immigration program and provides an opportunity for #H1B workers who may not have that same opportunity in the United States anymore." bit.ly/3pTFyqJ

Looking forward to some light weekend reading! Change in the H-1B program is long overdue and AILA looks forward to providing feedback on the NPRM to make sure that the program is reflective of the modern day workplace!

Taking on hate is a national priority. Today, President Donald J. Trump and I are announcing the country's first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia. This action is the latest step forward in our work to combat a surge of hate in America.

Instead of the hate-fueled rhetoric spewed by some of our MOCs, this is a right step in the direction by 100+ MOCs to prevent further harm to civilians. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

We cannot let the conflict take away our humanity.

A pilot program allowing a limited number of H-1B workers to renew visas in the US is expected to launch in January, the State Department says. #visas #H1B #immigration news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…

This is a game changer that AILA has been championing. Allowing for legal representation in the immigration system will allow for faster, fairer and more efficient processing.

"The forthcoming proposed rules were short on details, but appear to be intended to improve the existing system, clarify ambiguities and shore up some of the Biden administration's policy guidance, according to Shev Dalal-Dheini." law360.com/immigration/ar…

Customer service was non-existent USCIS in 2020. Read their progress on AILA’s recommendations and what more must be accomplished before the end of this term.

Two for two USCIS renewing the 540 day rule and preventing medical exams from expiring!

It is not in our national interest & does not make America safer to terminate the legal status of hundreds of thousands of people because a handful may have committed crimes. This decision will harm Venezuelans who have no safe home to return to & waste enforcement resources...
