Department
of Homeland Security Takes Aim at H-1B Visa Program
In
the February 22, 2010 issue of Texas Lawyer, BAL partners
Lynden Melmed and Paige Taylor describe how the Department
of Homeland Security Takes Aim at the H-1B Visa Program.
- The
new memo issued by USCIS limits the ability for many staffing
companies to hire or to extend the status of H-1B workers.
- Many
companies that supplement their headcount in the down economy
by using contractors may also be affected by the new policy.
- Companies
that use contractors in H-1B status should work with their vendors
to determine how their supplemental workforce will be impacted.
