The Department of Homeland Security announced two new proposed rules Tuesday
morning aimed at attracting and holding onto highly skilled immigrants. It
’s the latest effort by the Obama administration to change immigration
policy while Congress continues to stall on passing comprehensive reform
legislation.
The rules, presented on a call with reporters by DHS Deputy Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, will remove
obstacles to remaining in the U.S. for certain temporary workers and offer
employment visas for some of those workers’ spouses.
Currently, DHS does not offer employment authorizations to the dependent
spouses of H-1B workers, meaning they cannot legally work in the U.S. while
their husbands or wives are temporarily employed at an American company. The
new rules will make work visas available to certain individuals whose H-1B
spouses have already begun seeking permanent residence through their
employer. Mayorkas estimated that approximately 97,000 HB-1 spouses will be
eligible to apply for employment authorization under this rule within the
first year that it is enacted and then over 30,000 annually after that.
The proposed rules will be published in the Federal Register and the public
will be allowed to comment on them at regulations.gov. Public comments and
concerns will be taken into consideration before the final rules are
implemented. This process typically takes about 60 days but Mayorkas said “
it is our intent to review the comments most expeditiously and publish the
rule very quickly thereafter in light of its importance to American
competitiveness and the growth of our economy.”
