Dear Stakeholder,
On March 19, 2015, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) hosted
a listening session on business-focused immigration enhancements. Such
enhancements are part of the November 2014 executive actions to modernize,
improve, and clarify employment-based immigrant and nonimmigrant visa
programs to grow our economy and create jobs.
We continue to encourage stakeholders to submit comments to Public.

/* */ in response to the specific questions that USCIS
asked at the engagement:
What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
streamline and improve the process of employment-based beneficiaries’
applying for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident
while in the United States?
a. What are some ideas for modernizing and improving the immigrant visa
process for employment-based beneficiaries?
USCIS is currently working with the Department of State to modify the Visa
Bulletin system to more simply and reliably make determinations of visa
availability. What are some ideas for modifying the Visa Bulletin system for
employment-based immigration?
If possible to extend employment authorization (EAD) eligibility to
beneficiaries of approved Form I-140 petitions who are unable to file for
adjustment of status due to visa unavailability, what should be the
timeframe after approving an I-140 petition for conferring an EAD?
Should a beneficiary’s priority date and porting eligibility be preserved
when the petitioner withdraws an otherwise approved or approvable I-140
petition and/or terminates its business? How should the portability
provisions be crafted to allow for this?
What are some ideas for improving how USCIS evaluates “same or similar” in
an AC21 analysis of two jobs?
a. Should USCIS implement an application process, which would include a form
and fee, to request AC21 portability (e.g. pre-adjudicate whether a new
position is the same or similar as the I-140 position)?
What are the concerns, if any, of Form I-140 petitioning employers with
regard to increasing the flexibility of USCIS’ analysis of INA 204(j)
portability?
What are the concerns, if any, of Form I-140 petitioning employers with
regard to increasing the flexibility of the Form I-140-related work
authorization eligibility for beneficiaries of approved Form I-140 petitions?
What are the concerns, if any, with satisfying the eligibility criteria for
EB-2 national interest waivers?
a. What are some ideas for standards for granting a national interest waiver
, including waivers for foreign inventors, researchers and founders of start
-up enterprises to benefit the U.S. economy?
